  • This "3in1" purging program is selected directly by the user of the dishwasher and is characterized by the following essential process steps, the case mentioned but not necessarily sequence of process steps represents a possible Spülprogrammablauf without the final program section drying:
  • the pre-rinse is done with cold water, which is thus essentially dependent on the water supply temperature, for an extremely short period of 2 to 5 min., Preferably 2 to 3 min. During this time, mainly fresh soiling can be detached and softened dirt can be softened.
  • the liquid can be provided with heavy contamination one or more dilution steps of the rinsing liquid, wherein a dilution step due to the brevity of the pre-rinsing, preferably at the end of the pre-rinsing is provided. If no dilution step takes place at the end of the pre-rinse, the rinse liquid is completely changed before the next program section.
  • the freshly supplied rinsing liquid which may also be diluted and thus contaminated to a certain extent, is now heated in the cleaning process section to a temperature which is below the dissolution temperature of the rinse aid, preferably between 40 and 57 ° C.
  • the combination preparation is preferably supplied to the rinsing container by the dosing device within the first third of the program section cleaning, provided that the combination preparation is not by the user before starting the rinsing-rinsing program in the washing, z. B. in the cutlery basket was inserted.
  • the rinsing liquid is circulated in the washing during cleaning about 10 to 30 minutes and completely pumped or diluted at the end of the cleaning process section. This decision can be made dependent on an optional turbidity measurement of the rinsing liquid.
  • the process section cleaning is followed by a process section intermediate rinsing in which the fresh or diluted rinsing liquid now present is passively, i. H. is heated exclusively by energy removal of the heat capacity of the dishwasher, so that it removes during their circulation still existing residual debris and chemical residues of the process section cleaning.
  • the circulation of the rinsing liquid takes place in the intermediate rinsing section for a period of about 2 to 10 minutes.
  • the intermediate rinsing can also be operated as pulse rinsing with a reduced maximum rinsing liquid volume with respect to the maximum rinsing liquid volume of the cleaning.
  • the intermediate flushing stage ends with a complete or partial drainage.
  • a defined rinsing liquid volume is supplied to the rinsing container. This can be fixed from the outset and / or set variably in dependence of various parameters.
  • a dependent variable is the concentration of the rinse aid actually present in the rinse liquid, since this has an immediate effect on the rinse aid result and thus on the subsequently achievable drying result of the ware.
  • concentration of the rinse aid actually present in the rinse liquid, since this has an immediate effect on the rinse aid result and thus on the subsequently achievable drying result of the ware.
  • the concentration of the rinse aid at the beginning of the program section rinsing can be adjusted to a predetermined concentration by supplying a defined rinse liquid volume.
  • the rinsing liquid with rinse aid already dissolved, as well as the rinse aid still to be dissolved is now preferably heated to a dissolution temperature above the dissolution temperature of a rinse aid dissolving in pH and / or temperature.
  • This dissolution temperature is currently above 58 ° C (for the "3in1" combination preparation Calgonit Powerballs®).
  • the rinsing liquid is heated and circulated.
  • the rinsing liquid is removed as far as possible by pumping out of the rinsing container.
  • the Spülcieserdecke, the Spül variouser is removed in, following the program section rinse, program section drying.
  • the drying is preferably carried out as condensation drying.
  • at least one circulating air blower is switched on in the first third of this program section.
  • the intermediate rinsing during the liquid-carrying process sections can preferably be designed as pulse rinses, ie, during the process section intermediate rinsing, the circulation pump is repeatedly switched on and off for a predefinable or determinable duration.
  • the duration of switching on the circulation pump and the switching off of the circulation pump is dependent on a level of Spülillonkeitsitate in the washing, which corresponds to a lower level, at which the circulating pump sucks no air. Due to the above-mentioned limited factor, there are further dependencies on the rotational speed of the circulation pump, which withdraws more rinsing liquid from the sump as the rotational speed increases.
  • the design of the pulses of switching on and off of the circulation pump is adjustable depending on a turbidity measurement of the rinsing liquid, so the duration of switching on the circulation pump can be shortened compared to the duration of turning off the circulation pump at low degree of contamination and extended accordingly with increased degree of contamination.
  • the maximum existing rinsing liquid volume during a liquid-carrying process section preferably set in the process section intermediate rinsing defined.
  • a combination preparation which contains a rinse aid which has a temperature and / or pH-dependent dissolution behavior
  • a certain pH preferably in the neutral pH range
  • the invention with reference to a method for operating a domestic dishwasher, which is suitable for the use of 3in1 combination preparations, ie of those with the active ingredients cleaner, rinse aid and softener, explained in more detail.
  • the single figure shows a schematic of the individual process sections of a washing program sequence. It is assumed that the water of the supply line is substantially soft and thus has a low degree of hardness.
  • the rinsing liquid should reach a temperature of about 55 ° C, which at the time of the invention, a temperature below the dissolution temperature of the rinse aid of pHund temperature-dependent dissolvable 3inl combination preparation, such as Calgonit Powerballs® corresponds.
  • the "3in1" combination preparation is added, preferably during the supply of rinsing liquid (indicated by arrow 3 in1).
  • the rinsing liquid is circulated at the maximum predetermined temperature for about 10 to 30 minutes in the washing and thereby applied to the dishes to be cleaned. At the end of the program section cleaning, the rinsing liquid is almost completely removed from the rinsing container (indicated by arrow VR). The rinsing liquid volume is refilled for a subsequent program section intermediate rinsing and heated and circulated exclusively by removing energy stored in the heat capacity of the dishwasher.
  • the maximum volume of rinsing liquid supplied can be varied as a function of a turbidity measurement and / or a concentration measurement of existing rinse aid which operates on the dilution principle.
  • the rinsing liquid volume is preferably increased in the case of a high degree of contamination and / or a high degree of concentration of the rinse aid and / or strongly basic medium of the rinsing liquid.
  • the rinsing liquid volume is lowered.
  • the process section intermediate rinsing passes into the program section rinsing after a dilution step or after a complete pumping, not shown, for example depending on the degree of turbidity.
  • the rinsing liquid volume is at least partially increased and preferably reaches the maximum rinsing liquid volume of the program section cleaning.
  • the rinsing liquid volume can also be adjusted precisely to a predeterminable concentration range of the rinse aid by appropriately evaluated measurement results of provided sensors.
  • the value of the rinsing fluid volume to be supplied then has to be calculated by the arithmetic unit of the program sequence control.
  • the duration of the intermediate rinsing varies between 2 to 10 minutes and the duration of rinsing approximately between 2 to 15 minutes.
  • the rinsing liquid volume is now in the further program flow to a temperature above one
  • the dissolution temperature of the rinse aid is currently approx. 58 ° C, so that it is heated to a minimum rinse temperature of 60 to 70 ° C.
  • the rinse liquid is almost completely removed from the rinse tank (indicated by arrow VK).
  • the program section rinsing is followed by a program section drying, which, however, is not shown here.
