Abstract: The invention relates to a fixture and a method for cleaning a drinking water purification system including the following steps: removal of a filter cartridge from a cartridge holder of a filtering unit in a cold water line, insertion of a connection adapter into the cartridge holder to form a fluid connection with the cold water line, connection of a connecting piece of a hot water line to the connection adapter, heating of water with a heater interconnected with the hot water line, delivery of heated water via the connecting piece of the hot water line and the connection adapter into the cold water line.

Abstract: A jet former, including an impeller wheel rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation, having a blade arrangement, a control device, and at least one movably mounted nozzle. The control device is arranged and constructed to convert a rotation of the axis of rotation into a movement of the at least one nozzle. At least one blade of the blade arrangement is arranged and formed to divide the water flow directed towards the at least one blade in a direction of flow into at least a first partial flow and a further partial flow, to deviate the first partial flow in a first partial flow direction, and to deviate the other partial flow in a further partial flow direction. The direction of flow, the first partial flow direction and the further partial flow direction in each case differ from each other.

Abstract: A frame assembly (2) and a system including the frame assembly and a free-standing household appliance (3) are configured for inserting the free-standing household appliance (3) into a recess (4) in a wall (6). In order to improve a visually pleasing combination of a free-standing household appliance (3) and at least one piece of furniture, the frame assembly (2) for inserting the free-standing household appliance into a recess (4) of a furniture set that is or can be disposed against a wall (6), at least one connection module (22) is configured for connecting the free-standing household appliance (3) to domestic installations, wherein the connection module (22) is designed both to connect at least one connector (26) of the free-standing household appliance (3) to the connection module (22) and to connect the connection module (22) to the domestic installations.

Abstract: A method for detecting a leak, having at least the following steps: a) capturing a flow volume of a liquid through a liquid line during a multiplicity of liquid removal processes; b) comparing the flow volumes of the liquid in the respective liquid removal processes with an alarm value; c) outputting an alarm signal if the flow volume of the liquid in a liquid removal process exceeds the alarm value; d) adapting the alarm value on the basis of a frequency of the occurrence of the flow volumes of the liquid in the liquid removal processes above an adaptation value.
