Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a method of washing dishes by means of a dishwasher.
- a dishwasher comprising a plurality of racks positioned one above another and located in a washing compartment.
- the user In order to perform the washing of the dishes the user arranges them by distributing them over the various racks. During washing the liquid on the bottom of the washing compartment is taken by a pump and made to travel through two rotating sprayers equipped with holes which direct the jets of water towards the dishes.
- An object of the present invention is to make available to a user the possibility of carrying out specific washing cycles so as to permit better flexibility of use.
- Figures 1-4 show examples of washing cycles according to the present invention and show a qualitative pattern of temperature as a function of time (expressed in minutes and shown on the horizontal axis).
- the subject of the present invention is a method of washing dishes by means of a dishwasher.
- This dishwasher comprises a plurality of racks placed in a washing compartment. These racks are intended to support the dishes during the wash.
- the dishwasher comprises a first and a second rack, the second rack being situated above the first rack.
- the first rack is the lowest rack of the dishwasher.
- the second rack is typically the second rack from the bottom.
- the dishwasher also comprises a first and a second sprayer. The first sprayer is positioned below the first rack.
- the second sprayer is positioned between the first and the second rack.
- the method provides for the dishwasher selecting the washing parameters according to at least:
- the method furthermore provides for performing the washing.
- Selecting said second input makes the cycle identified by the first input more intensive or faster or more economical (in terms of washing liquid and energy consumption).
- the cycle becomes faster or more economical or more intensive depending on the type of cycle selected with the first input.
- the dishes to be washed are positioned on a specific rack selected through the second input.
- the cycle will be reparametrized to allow optimum washing of the dishes in the selected rack.
- the dishwasher will concentrate its resources on carrying out the washing of the dishes placed in the selected rack, neglecting the wash, however, in other areas of the washing compartment.
- the second input preferably makes it possible to select one rack at a time. The second input therefore makes it possible to select one washing area inside the washing compartment.
- the step of performing the wash therefore provides for performing a wash wherein the dishes are positioned on only one of the racks of the dishwasher.
- the first input can be selected from a predetermined list of washing cycles.
- This predetermined list comprises a fast cycle (in which speed of execution of the cycles is privileged) and an intensive cycle (which will have a longer duration than the fast cycle and which constitutes a vigorous cycle to optimise the cleaning of the dishes).
- the predetermined list can comprise a normal cycle (a cycle which allows a compromise between the two indicated above).
- the intensive cycle is the most vigorous selectable among those selectable in the predetermined list.
- the first input can be selectable using a first dedicated selector (for example a knob or keys).
- a first dedicated selector for example a knob or keys.
- said introduction of said second input causes: an increase in the maximum temperature reached by the washing liquid and/or a lengthening of the washing cycle time and/or an increase in particular steps or sub-steps of the dispensing pressure to the sprayers (even in this case the variations are to be considered as referring to a similar cycle without the second input being specified).
- the step of performing the wash comprises in turn a plurality of steps.
- a first step (indicated by the reference number 11 in figure 1 ) provides for performing a pre-wash comprising the sub-steps of:
- the step of performing the pre-wash is carried out without performing a heating of the washing liquid; opportunely the pre-wash is carried out without the use of detergents in the washing liquid; opportunely during the pre-wash the duration of the step of spraying the dishes is comprised between 9 and 12 minutes.
- a second step provides for performing a removal of dirt from the dishes. This comprises the sub-steps of:
- a third step provides for performing a first rinse of the dishes (see reference 13); opportunely this step provides for the use of network water, opportunely the network water used during the first rinse is not heated by the use of a heating element located in the washing compartment (as it enters the compartment which is still hot, it does however undergo heating nevertheless).
- a fourth step provides for performing a second heating of the dishes (see reference 14) comprising the steps of:
- the cycle of figure 1 is particularly effective when it is necessary to wash only a few dishes. In this way, without having to wait for the full load, it is possible to wash the cutlery and plates used for cooking for rapid reuse, avoiding the formation of bad odours.
- the dishes are sprayed for over 75% of the time by the first sprayer.
- the second sprayer is used only sporadically to dissolve the detergent better in the dispenser and to assist the washing of any cutlery positioned vertically in the first rack.
- spraying is carried out for most of the time by the second sprayer, possibly alternating with the third sprayer (which as described above is located above the second rack). The first sprayer is not used.
- spraying is carried out by alternating between the second and the third sprayer.
- the first sprayer is not used.
- the step of performing the wash comprises a plurality of steps as described below.
- a first step provides for removing the dirt from the dishes and this first step comprises the sub-steps of:
- a second step provides for rinsing the dishes and in turn comprises the sub-steps of:
- the cycle of figure 2 allows a significant time saving when it is necessary to wash only a few dishes. In this way, without having to wait for the full load, it is possible to wash the cutlery and plates used for cooking for rapid reuse, avoiding the formation of bad odours.
- the cycle of figure 3 is performed when the intensive cycle indicated above is selected as first input and the lower rack or the third rack (always assuming it is present) is selected as second input.
- the cycle of figure 4 is performed when the intensive cycle indicated above is selected as first input and the second rack from the bottom of the dishwasher is selected as second input.
- the selection of said second input causes a lengthening of the intensive cycle comprised between 10% and 50%.
- the selection of said second input causes furthermore an increase in the maximum temperature of the washing cycle (preferably this increase is comprised between 3 °C and 7 °C).
- This increase is comprised between 3 °C and 7 °C.
- the step of performing the wash comprises a plurality of steps described below.
- a first step provides for removing the dirt from the dishes and this first step comprises the sub-steps of:
- a second step provides for performing a first rinse of the dishes comprising the steps of:
- a third step provides for carrying out a second rinse of the dishes and in turn comprises the steps of:
- step of removing the dirt from the dishes is preceded at least by the step of performing a pre-wash (see reference 36) in turn comprising:
- the step of performing the first rinse provides for heating the washing liquid placed in the compartment until the sensor detects a predetermined target temperature greater than or equal to 60 °C (see reference 32b).
- this heating is followed by a maintenance of the temperature of the washing liquid in a first predetermined range containing the predetermined target temperature (see reference 32d); opportunely said temperature maintenance has a duration comprised between 4 and 6 minutes.
- the step of performing the second rinse provides for heating a washing liquid placed in the compartment at least until a sensor detects a predetermined target temperature comprised between 65 °C and 75 °C (see reference 33d).
- this heating is followed by a maintenance of the temperature of the washing liquid in a predetermined range containing the predetermined target temperature (see reference 33e); opportunely said temperature maintenance has a duration of less than 1 minute; preferably it is about 30 seconds.
- the dishes are sprayed for over 75% of the time (preferably for 100%) by the first sprayer.
- the second sprayer is not used.
- spraying is carried out for most of the time by the second sprayer, possibly alternating with the third sprayer (which as described above is located above the second rack).
- the first sprayer is not used.
- spraying is carried out by performing an alternation between the second and the third sprayer.
- the first sprayer is not used.
- the present invention enables many advantages to be achieved.
