  • the steam generation direction and the spray arm arranged in the first rinsing zone are operated several times alternately. In this way, an optimal cleaning result can be achieved in the first rinsing zone, in which strong impurities are first dissolved by the steam and removed by the spray arm.
  • a rinsing bath heating is actuated only when the steam generating unit is not active.
  • an excessive current consumption of the dishwasher can be prevented by simultaneous heating of the water in the device (rinsing liquor) and the steam generating unit.
  • the energy introduced by the steam generating unit into the rinsing liquor is sufficient to maintain or even increase the temperature of the rinsing liquor.
  • the rotational speed of a circulating pump is varied, in particular reduced, when the steam generating unit is operated.
  • the pumped by the circulating pump water of the rinsing liquor is supplied to the spray arm.
  • the speed of the circulating pump thus determines the amount of mechanical cleaning power of the spray arms.
  • a Drehzalvariation, in particular lowering, leads to an adjustment of the mechanical cleaning effect on the type of dishes that in the Rinsing zone, in which does not affect the steam generating unit, is usually more sensitive.
  • the fact is taken into account that in addition to the steam generating device, which is also operated simultaneously with the spray arm for the second rinse zone, additional moisture is introduced into the washing compartment.
  • a dishwasher according to the invention is characterized in that a control device is provided which actuates the steam generating unit as a function of the position of the water separator. This results in the advantages described in connection with the method.
  • the steam generating unit has at least one flexible steam outlet opening. This can be positioned by the user as needed, so that the discharged steam can unfold advantageous exactly there its purifying effect, where it is needed.

  • a movable crockery basket 12, 22 is provided in each case.
  • a filter for filtering dissolved dirt particles and a drain pump are present in the dishwasher, which are not shown here for reasons of ease of representation.
  • a steam generating unit 30 is arranged in the bottom area of the dishwasher 1, which has a mushroom-shaped steam outlet opening 31 in this embodiment, which protrudes into the area of the first rinse zone.
  • the first rinsing zone 10, in which also the steam generating unit 30 acts, is usually the lower rinsing zone in the dishwasher 1.
  • the first rinsing zone 10 will be referred to below as the lower rinsing zone 10 and the first spraying arm 11 as the lower spraying arm 11.
  • the second rinsing zone 20 is referred to as the upper rinsing zone 20 and the second spraying arm 21 as the upper spraying arm 21.
  • cookware 13 In the lower rinsing zone 10, more heavily soiled items 13 are usually cleaned.
  • this example is referred to as cookware 13.
  • the embodiment of the FIG. 1 a dishwasher 1 with two rinsing zones 10, 20. It is noted that the inventive method can also be applied to a dishwasher having more than two rinsing zones arranged one above the other, for example three rinsing zones.
  • dishwashers with three rinsing zones are known in which the then upper third rinsing zone serves to receive flat cutlery. In such a Dishwasher would be the second rinse zone, the middle rinse zone, even if this is referred to in the present embodiment as the upper rinse zone.
  • FIG. 2 shows the steam generating unit 30 and the steam outlet opening 31 according to FIG. 1 detail.
  • the steam generating unit 30 has a heater 32, which is arranged outside in the illustrated embodiment and acts on a heat exchange surface 33 on water 34 in the interior of the steam generating unit 30. In alternative embodiments, it may be provided to arrange the heater directly in the interior of the steam generating unit 30.
  • the water 34 is heated by the heater 32 above its boiling point and forms in an evaporation chamber 35 steam 36, which enters through the outlet opening 31 as aussetender steam 37 in the washing compartment.
  • the water 34 is brought through a water inlet opening 38 in the evaporator chamber 35, wherein a level sensor 39 monitors the water level and ensures a sufficiently high water level in the steam generating unit 30.
  • the water inlet opening 38 is connected via a water valve 6 with a water-carrying line 5 within the dishwasher.
  • the heater 32 and the water lock 6 are controlled by a control device 4, which also evaluates the output of the level sensor 39.
  • the control device 4 is a central control device of the dishwasher 1, whose other connections in the schematic diagram of FIG. 2 are not shown.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the inventive method with reference to a schematic diagram showing a temperature profile during a wash program and various switching states within the dishwasher.
