Definitions
- the invention relates to a water-conducting household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a make-of-conducting household appliance. Furthermore, the invention relates to a make-of-conducting household appliance.
- the majority of household dishwashers currently in use has an adding device for receiving one or more cleaning agents, which are added during the course of a rinsing cycle of the rinsing liquor for cleaning the sorted in the dishwasher items to be washed.
- the detergent stored in the adding device is completely discharged into the washing compartment during the rinsing cycle and mixed with the rinsing water circulated therein.
- the addition device is sized in size so that just the required amount of detergent for a rinse cycle can be filled. The user of the dishwasher is therefore forced to fill in the adding device the amount of detergent required for the rinse cycle at the beginning of each rinse cycle. This handling is inconvenient for the user of the dishwasher.
- such dishwashers have the problem that the amount of cleaning agent introduced into the adding device may vary from user to user, but also from one rinse to another.
- an improperly metered amount of cleaning agent can lead to unsatisfactory scavenging results if the cleaning agents have been dispensed too low and, on the other hand, waste of cleaning agents and thus an environmental burden result if too large an amount of cleaning agent has been dispensed.
- Addition devices which add the amount of cleaning agents stored therein at once to the rinsing liquor still do not permit the implementation of more complex rinsing programs. Thus, it may be useful, for example, in certain situations, to meter in the detergent at different times of the wash liquor. Addition devices configured to receive a single detergent dose can not support such complex rinse cycles.
