Abstract

Im Geschirrspüler ist ein Dampfgenerator (13) vorgesehen, mit welchem das Geschirr in der Klarspülphase von Dampf beaufschlagt werden kann. Das unmittelbar auf dem Geschirr kondensierende Wasser weist praktisch keine Verunreinigungen auf, so dass es rückstandsfrei trocknet. Ausserdem erlaubt es der Kondensationsprozess, dem Geschirr in energetisch effizienter Weise Wärme für die anschliessende Trocknung zuzuführen. Um die Dampferzeugung zu verbessern, kann die Pumpe (10) mit reduzierter Leistung betrieben werden, so dass das heisse Wasser aus dem unteren Sprüharm auf den Boden des Bottichs (2) tropft, wodurch die Wasseroberfläche erhöht wird. Vor dem Bedampfen kann das Geschirr mit Klarspüler enthaltendem Wasser gespült werden.

Figure imgaf001
In the dishwasher, a steam generator (13) is provided, with which the dishes can be acted upon by steam in the final rinse phase. The water condensing directly on the dishes has virtually no impurities, so that it dries without residue. In addition, the condensation process makes it possible to supply the dishes with energy for the subsequent drying in an energetically efficient manner. To improve steam production, the pump (10) can be operated at reduced power so that the hot water from the lower spray arm drops to the bottom of the tub (2), increasing the water surface. Before steaming, the dishes may be rinsed with water containing rinse aid.
