Während des Betriebes wird das vom Benutzer in die Lagerungsbehälter 5,5' eingeräumte zu waschende Gut von der Sprühvorrichtung in der Geschirrspülmaschine 1,1' benetzt. Nachdem die Steuer- und Regelungselektronik 7,7' das in ihrem Speicher abgelegte Programm mit beispielsweise den Programmschritten "Vorspülen - Reinigen - Zwischenspülen - Klarspülen -Trocken" beendet, wird dem Benutzer durch Öffnen der Tür 8,8' mittels der Betätigungshandhabe 13,13' der Behandlungsraum 4,4' zugänglich. Durch Benutzung der Betätigungshandhabe 13,13' wird mittels einer elektromechanischen Verbindung der Hauptschalter 14,14' aktiviert, so dass die Geschirrspülmaschine 1,1' außer Betrieb ist. Während des Öffnungsvorgangs wird das Schaltmittel 20,20', in der Tür 8,8' aktiviert und sendet ein Signal an die Steuer- und Regelungselektronik 7,7', so dass bei Überschreiten eines Mindestschwenkwinkels der Tür 8,8' das Schaltmittel 20,20' die Lichtquelle 18,18' schaltet. Der Mindestschenkwinkel ist werksseitig so bestimmt, dass bei einer Neigung der Tür im Bereich von 0° bis 10° die Lichtquelle 18,18' schaltet. Nachdem die Tür 8 vom Benutzer vollständig geöffnet ist (Fig.1), treten die Lichtstrahlen aus der an der Tür 8 im nahen Bereich der Zugabe 17 angeordneten Lichtquelle 18 aus und werden über die optischen Übertragungsmittel abgelenkt, so dass der Behandlungsraum 4 ausgeleuchtet wird und das im Lagerungsbehälter 5 angeordnete zu waschende Gut frontseitig beleuchtet wird. In Figur 2 ist zu der an der Tür 8' im nahen Bereich der Zugabe 17' angeordneten Lichtquelle 18' eine zusätzliche Lichtquelle 18.1 am Öffnungsrand 19' angeordnet, die den Behandlungsraum 4' und das im Lagerungsbehälter 5' angeordnete zu waschende Gut von oben beleuchtet. Nachdem der Lagerungsbehälter 5,5' aus dem Behandlungsraum 4,4' herausgezogen wird, befindet sich der Lagerungsbehälter 5,5' über der in der Tür 8,8' angeordneten Lichtquelle 18,18', so dass das zu waschende Gut nun von unten beleuchtet wird. Um die Lichtquelle 18' beim Öffnen und Schließen nicht zu beschädigen, ist die Lichtquelle 18' vorteilhafterweise am Öffnungsrand 19' zurückversetzt angeordnet (Fig.2). Der Benutzer kann nun die an den Führungsschienen befestigten Lagerungsbehälter 5,5' einfach herausziehen und auch bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen im Raum das zu waschende Gut begutachten und aus dem Lagerungsbehälter 5,5' entfernen, da es gut von der Lichtquelle 18,18' beleuchtet wird. Gleichzeitig wird auch der Behandlungsraum 4,4' ausgeleuchtet, so dass beispielsweise Reparaturarbeiten einfach durchführbar sind oder ein nicht gezeigter Deckel des Salzbehälters im Behandlungsraum 4,4' beim Nachfüllen von Salz auf Grund der besseren Sichtverhältnisse besser zu öffnen ist. Nachdem der Benutzer die Lagerungsbehälter 5,5' ausgeräumt und gegebenenfalls mit neuen zu waschenden Gut beladen hat, lässt sich die Tür 8,8' über die Betätigungshandhabe 13,13' wieder schließen. Während des Schließvorgangs kann der Benutzer kurz vor Beendigung des Schließvorganges bei einem Mindestschwenkwinkel im Bereich von 0° bis 10° erkennen, dass die Lichtquelle 18,18' sich ausschaltet, da sich der Behandlungsraum 4,4' verdunkelt. Somit besteht bei dem Benutzer die Gewissheit, dass die Lichtquelle 18,18' während des Betriebs immer ausgeschaltet ist. Im geschlossenen Zustand ist die Tür 8,8' in Kontakt mit einer am Öffnungsrand 19,19' nicht gezeigten angeordneten Türdichtung, so dass keine Flüssigkeit aus dem Behandlungsraum 4,4' nach außen gelangt. Der Benutzer kann nun das gewünschte Programm mittels des Programmwahlschalters 15,15' wählen, welches von der Steuer- und Regelungselektronik 7,7' aktiviert wird und kann mit Hilfe des Hauptschalters 14,14' die Geschirrspülmaschine 1, 1' in Betrieb nehmen.During operation, the product being washed by the user into the storage containers 5, 5 'is wetted by the spraying device in the dishwashing machine 1, 1'.

By using the actuating handle 13, 13 ', the main switch 14, 14' is activated by means of an electromechanical connection, so that the dishwasher 1, 1 'is out of operation. During the opening operation, the switching means 20,20 'is activated in the door 8,8' and sends a signal to the control and regulating electronics 7,7 ', so that when a minimum pivoting angle of the door 8,8' is exceeded, the switching means 20, 20 ', the light source 18,18' switches. The minimum leg angle is factory set so that when the door inclines in the range of 0 ° to 10 °, the light source 18, 18 'switches. After the door 8 is fully opened by the user ( Fig.1 ), the light rays exit from the light source 18 arranged on the door 8 in the near range of the addition 17 and are deflected via the optical transmission means, so that the treatment space 4 is illuminated and the material to be washed disposed in the storage container 5 is illuminated at the front. In FIG. 2 is to the door 8 'in the near region of the addition 17' arranged light source 18 'an additional light source 18.1 arranged at the opening edge 19', which illuminates the treatment room 4 'and in the storage container 5' arranged to be washed Good from above. After the storage container 5, 5 'is pulled out of the treatment space 4, 4', the storage container 5, 5 'is located above the light source 18, 18' arranged in the door 8, 8 ', so that the material to be washed is now from below is illuminated. In order not to damage the light source 18 'when opening and closing, the light source 18' advantageously at the opening edge 19 'is set back ( Fig.2 ). The user can now simply remove the storage containers 5, 5 'fastened to the guide rails and, even in poor lighting conditions, inspect the goods to be washed and remove them from the storage container 5, 5' as it is well illuminated by the light source 18, 18 ' , At the same time, the treatment space 4, 4 'is also illuminated, so that, for example, repair work can be carried out easily or a lid, not shown, of the salt container in the treatment space 4, 4' can be better opened when refilling salt due to better visibility. After the user has cleared the storage container 5,5 'and optionally loaded with new good to be washed, the door 8,8' on the actuating handle 13,13 'close again. During the closing process, the user can see shortly before completion of the closing operation at a minimum pivot angle in the range of 0 ° to 10 °, that the light source 18,18 'turns off, as the treatment chamber 4,4' darkens. Thus, the user is assured that the light source 18, 18 'is always off during operation. in the closed state is the door 8,8 'in contact with a door seal not shown at the opening edge 19,19', so that no liquid from the treatment chamber 4,4 'passes to the outside. The user can now choose the desired program by means of the program selector switch 15,15 ', which is activated by the control and electronic control unit 7,7' and can take the dishwasher 1, 1 'by means of the main switch 14,14' in operation.

Die Funktionsweise der in Figur 3 dargestellten Geschirrspülmaschine 1" ist ähnlich zu denen in Figur 1 und Figur 2 gezeigten Geschirrspülmaschinen 1,1'. Der wesentliche Unterschied liegt darin, dass die Lichtquelle 18" sich ausschließlich zurückversetzt am Öffnungsrand 19" befindet und den Behandlungsraum 4" und den Lagerungsbehälter 5" bei geöffneten Zustand einer nicht gezeigten Tür von oben beleuchtet. Der am Öffnungsrand 19" als Schaltmittel 20" ausgebildete Druckschalter wird erst durch den Kontakt mit der Tür deaktiviert und schaltet dadurch die Lichtquelle 18" aus.The functioning of in FIG. 3 Dishwasher shown 1 "is similar to those in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 shown dishwashing machines 1,1 '. The essential difference lies in the fact that the light source 18 "is located exclusively at the opening edge 19" and illuminates the treatment space 4 "and the storage container 5" from above when the door is not open. The at the opening edge 19 "as a switching means 20" formed pressure switch is deactivated only by the contact with the door and thereby turns off the light source 18 "off.
