Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for carrying out a washing program in a dishwasher, in which in the circuit in a lower portion of a washing container accumulated liquid is conveyed by means of a circulation pump to sprayers and from there on items to be washed, wherein the washing program comprises at least the program sections cleaning and rinsing.
  • a dishwashing machine has a washing container arranged in a housing, which is accessible via a loading opening which can be closed by means of a door. Within the washing baskets are arranged, which receive rinse items to be rinsed. To carry out a rinsing program, water is introduced into the rinsing container, optionally provided with rinsing additives, circulated as rinsing liquid by means of a circulating pump in the circulation, and conveyed via the items to be washed.
  • the dishwasher has in the bottom region of the washing container to a collecting pot, which is connected via an intake with the circulation pump.
  • the circulating pump promotes the rinsing liquid in a circuit via discharge nozzle to within the rinsing container arranged sprayers, from there the rinsing liquid rains on the items to be washed, drips off and runs back into the collecting pot.
  • a circuit is referred to as conventional circulation operation.
  • a heating device is arranged, which heats the rinsing liquid in certain program sections.
  • a prior art rinse program comprises several program steps, optionally pre-rinsing, cleaning, intermediate rinsing, rinsing and optionally drying.
  • cleaning When cleaning the water is mixed with a detergent, heated and applied to the dishes.
  • Subsequent intermediate rinsing has the task of dispensing rinsing liquid remaining within the dishwasher, which is composed of water, dishwashing liquid and dirt constituents, out of the dishwasher.
  • new fresh water is introduced at the beginning of the intermediate flushing and brought to the washware in the circulation cycle. Heating of the liquid usually does not take place in the intermediate rinse.
  • fresh water filled with rinse aid is added, and then distributed as heated in the cleaning over the dishes.
  • a disadvantage of the known intermediate rinsing program section is that both the rinsing container and the items to be washed are cooled in the intermediate rinsing. This is possible the heat capacity stored by the spraying with hot liquid in the cleaning lost at least partially. This is disadvantageous because this amount of heat must be reapplied to the subsequent heating of the liquid during rinsing. Another disadvantage results from the amount of water consumed in the intermediate rinse.
  • the invention thus raises the problem of improving a method for carrying out a rinsing program of the type mentioned at the outset such that resources used, such as heating energy and water, are saved.
  • rinsing liquid which is composed of water, detergent and dirt components and partially adhering to the items to be washed. It is advantageous if such a drip interval lasts at least one minute. During this time, a considerable proportion of residual rinsing liquid can be removed from the items to be washed. Tests on household dishwashers have shown that a draining pause between two and three minutes achieves optimal results.
  • the rinsing liquid is dosed in the program section cleaning before rinsing break rinse aid.
  • the amount of residual rinse liquid that drips from the items to be washed triples.
  • the amount of rinse aid added in the program section cleaning at least approximately corresponds to the amount which is used in the program section rinsing.
  • larger amounts of rinse aid slightly improve the dripping behavior, they increase the costs of a rinse program and increase the load on the waste water.
  • a better mixing of the cleaning liquor with rinse aid is achieved if, after dosing the rinse aid in the program section cleaning at least for a short time, the circulation operation is continued.
  • the rinse aid in the program section cleaning is increased. It is expedient if the emptied amount of rinsing liquid is between 20% and 30% of the total amount present in the rinsing container.
  • the speed of the circulating pump can be reduced after emptying the subset of rinsing liquid for further circulation.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically a cross section through a dishwasher.
  • the figure shows a dishwasher 1.
  • a washing container 2 is arranged, on which the bottom side a collecting pot 3 is connected.
  • two baskets 5 and 6 and a cutlery drawer 7 are arranged, which serve to receive dishes not shown.
  • the washing container 2 is accessible from outside via a feed opening of the dishwasher 1, wherein the feed opening can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of a door (not shown).
  • the dishwasher 1 has a water inlet 14 and a liquid outlet 15.
  • the inlet 14 is in fluid communication with a fresh water source, not shown.
  • the outlet 15 may also have an emptying pump, also not shown, which is suitable for discharging liquid from the washing container 2.
  • the emptying of the washing container can take place via a valve (not shown) by means of gravity.
  • a drip break is performed without circulation operation.
  • the break lasts at least one minute, better between two and three minutes. Experiments have shown that in particular a break of two and a half minutes is optimal in order to almost completely free the items to be washed from rinsing liquid.
  • the rinse tank is emptied and cleaning is completed.
