Abstract: A system includes a dishwasher including a receptacle for items to be washed, a control apparatus configured to execute a wash program in dependence upon a loading of the receptacle with items to be washed and a camera configured to capture an image of at least one partial region of the receptacle in dependence upon a pull-out position of the receptacle. The captured image is stored by the control apparatus in dependence upon the pull-out position in a memory location of a number of memory locations, which memory location is assigned to the pull-out position, with each of the number of memory locations being assigned a set of pull-out positions. An image analysis unit determines the loading of the receptacle in dependence upon images that are stored in the memory locations.
