Abstract: A dishwasher having a washing compartment for items to be washed and a first circulation circuit to subject the items to a washing liquid. The first circulation circuit includes a circulation pump; a water heater; and a spraying device. The washing liquid is routed from the washing compartment to the pump and fed back into the washing compartment. A second circulation circuit has the circulation pump, the water heater and a mixture store with input and output openings. An output side of the pump has a branching point that flow controllers are assigned to to allow the washing liquid to circulate in the first circulation circuit and/or the second circulation circuit. In the second circulation circuit, the washing liquid is routed from the washing compartment to the pump, pumped into the mixture store via the input opening, and fed back into the washing compartment via the output opening.

Abstract: A water-conducting household appliance having a heating element to heat washing liquid; a reservoir to store the washing liquid; and a reservoir cleaning program during which the reservoir is at least temporarily and at least partially filled with the washing liquid heated by the heating element.

Abstract: A domestic dishwasher, comprising an attachment device for receiving intake water and an execution control device in which are stored one or more washing programs for controlling an execution of a wash cycle for washing dishes, wherein the execution control device is designed to adapt at least one parameter of at least one of the washing programs to a temperature of the fresh water.

Abstract: A method for cleaning items to be washed in a dishwasher operational using at least one first predetermined wash program sequence including an intensive, low-temperature, automatic or standard program, using a specific mechanical and/or thermal soiling removal energy to achieve a specific cleaning and/or drying result, for carrying out such program steps as pre-rinse, cleaning, intermediate rinse, final rinse and drying, with the predetermined wash program being configured for substantially minimizing the quantity of water and energy used, the method including the steps of applying at least one second predetermined wash program sequence including a rapid intensive, rapid low-temperature, rapid automatic or rapid standard program, using substantially similar mechanical and/or thermal soiling removal energy as first wash program sequence to achieve the substantially similar specific cleaning and/or drying result as first wash program sequence, with second program sequence occurring in less time than first wash

Abstract: A dishwasher and a method for operating a dishwasher, wherein a liquid is heated at least twice with a first heater, and wherein the first heater is an air heater.

Abstract: In a method for operating a dishwasher containing wash items, in particular a household dishwasher, at least at times a heated liquid to the wash items is applied during at least two of a plurality of program steps. A desorption process for desorption of a reversibly dehydratable drying material of a sorption drying system is effected at least at times. The desorption process is carried out at least partially before or during a first of the at least two program steps, with heated liquid being applied to the wash items during the at least two program steps.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a hot water inlet device for intake of hot water from an external hot water supply and a cold water inlet device for intake of cold water from an external cold water supply. A program control device controls a wash cycle of a selected dishwashing program for cleaning wash items. The program control device is constructed to operate in at least one of first and second operating modes, wherein the first operating mode includes activation of one wash program which, in at least one partial wash cycle of a wash cycle, draws hot water from the external hot water supply, and wherein the second operating mode includes activation of another wash program which, in at least one partial wash cycle of a wash cycle, exclusively draws cold water from the external cold water supply.

Abstract: A water-conducting household appliance has a washing container and is configured to carry out at least one wash program. A special cleaning program for cleaning the washing container is carried out when there is a start signal.

Abstract: A dishwasher with a multi-step filter system includes a coarse filter and a micro filter for cleaning the rinsing solution and also includes a lye pump and a circulatory pump.

Abstract: A dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, having at least one substantially closed water circuit in which washing liquor is recirculated in a first direction in accordance with a program control unit, with the washing liquor being conveyed through a filter element during recirculation in order to filter impurities. Provision is made of a device for reversing the direction of flow, and this allows recirculation of the washing liquor in a second direction, which runs counter to the first direction, in order to flow through and eliminate impurities from a first screen, with the first screen being arranged in the water circuit in such a way that liquid forcibly flows through the first screen during recirculation of the washing liquor both in the first and in the second direction.

Abstract: A dishwasher and a method for operating a dishwasher reduce the length of a washing cycle in a dishwasher as well as the noise which is generated by the impact of the water therein, without altering the performance of the dishwasher. The washing method for a dishwasher having at least two spray devices includes dividing a significant period of time of a washing program duration into a plurality of different lengths of sub-units of time. Substantially every sub-unit of time is made up of at least two time sections. During a first time section, the washing liquid passes through all of the spray devices and during a second time section, the liquid only passes through the lowermost or the uppermost spray device. A dishwasher having at least two spray devices carries out the washing method.

Abstract: A method is provided enabling a dishwasher to be operated with variable wash programs, wherein the filter systems of the dishwasher do not become overloaded with protruding wash residues in the rinsing fluid. The method makes it possible to vary the pressure used to convey the rinsing fluid from the circulating pump to the at least one spray device. The advantage thereof is that protruding wash residues in the rinsing liquid can be reduced or flattened in order to prevent the filter systems in the dishwasher from becoming overloaded so that the cleaning effects of the filter system can remain functional.

Abstract: A method for operating a dishwasher is provided, in which the dishwasher includes at least one washing container, a re-circulation pump for conveying washing fluid to at least one spray device for acting upon items to be cleaned, which are located in the washing container, a lye pump for pumping away washing liquid from the dishwasher. The method includes executing a wash program at least including partial program steps pre-wash (V1, V2), clean (R1, R2), intermediate rinse, clear rinse (K1, K2) and dry, and operating the re-circulation pump and the lye pump at least temporarily in an alternating manner during at least one of the partial program steps (V1, V2, R1, R2, K1, K2).
