Abstract

An operation cycle for dishwashers provided with a start timer (T) includes the steps of: a) setting through the timer (T) a delay in the start of the washing cycle; b) loading the water in the tank; c) running the washing pump for some minutes; d) waiting with the water in the tank until the time of starting the washing cycle is reached; e) carrying out the washing cycle. A dishwasher provided with a start timer (T), a programmer (P) for selecting the washing cycle, a washing pump (L) and a draining pump (S), also includes means for detecting the setting of a start delay through said timer (T) and consequently activate the washing pump (L) for some minutes while deactivating the draining pump (S) until the set time of starting the washing cycle is reached.
