Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltgerät mit einer Ausgabeeinrichtung für Getränke und/oder Eis sowie einer mit einer Steuervorrichtung für die Ausgabe gekoppelten Bedien- und Anzeigeeinrichtung für die Auswahl und Anzeige der Art des auszugebenden Produkts (Getränke und/oder Eis) wobei die Ausgabeeinrichtung in einer Nische, des Haushaltgerätes angeordnet ist, welche mit einer Abstellfläche für ein zu befüllendes Gefäß ausgebildet ist und wobei in der Nische mindestens ein Auslöser für die Produktausgabe angeordnet ist.
Um die Bedienung eines Haushaltgerätes mit einem Ausgabebereich für Getränke und/oder Eis sowie die Bedien- und Anzeigeeinrichtung für ein Haushaltgerät weiter zu optimieren, ist als Auslöser mindestens eine Sensoranordnung zur Gefäßerkennung in der Nische angeordnet. Die vom Benutzer des Gerätes durchgeführte Bewegung des Gefäßes im Sensorbereich der Sensoranordnung in Bezug auf die Ausgabeeinrichtung bestimmt die Auswahl des auszugebenden Produkts und/oder der Ausgabemenge.
