  • a washing mechanism 123 comprises spray arm 124 in lower portion 106, and spray arm 126 in upper portion 108.
  • the upper spray arm 126 may be omitted.
  • Each spray arm comprises a series of holes or nozzles which can spray water upwardly towards the items to be washed 114, while the spray arms 124 and 126 rotate. These are commonly referred to as spray holes. Rotation of the spray arms 124 and 126, whilst ejecting water therefrom, helps to clean the items in a washing load.
  • the spray arm 124 is connected to shaft 125.
  • the shaft 125 enables rotation of spray arm 124 about a central axis of the shaft 125.
  • the shaft 125 and spray arm 124 may be considered to be comprised in a spray arm assembly 121.
  • the spray arm 126 is connected to shaft 127.
  • the shaft 127 enables rotation of spray arm 126 about a central axis of the shaft 127.
  • the shaft 127 and spray arm 126 may be considered to be comprised in a spray arm assembly 129.
  • the dishwasher100 further comprises water inlet schematically shown at 128 and water outlet schematically shown at 130, for enabling water to be fed in to and taken away from the dishwasher respectively.
  • a heater element (not shown) is provided for heating water as necessary.
  • hot and cold water is drawn from a building's supply as required.
  • a power connection is schematically shown at 132, which enables the dishwasher to be connected to mains electrical power for powering the dishwasher.
  • a water pump is schematically shown at 150.
  • the water pump 150 is constructed and arranged to distribute water around the dishwasher 100.
  • the water pump 150 can pump water to spray arms 124 and 126. Water that has been sprayed falls back down to a base or sump 152 of the dishwasher 100, from where that water can be recycled (after filtering, in some examples) by the pump 150.
  • rotation of the spray arms 124 and 126 is effected by the force of water being ejected from spray holes of the spray arms.
  • the spray holes may be arranged and/or oriented so as to facilitate such rotation.
  • one or more motors, shown schematically at 148 may be provided for powering rotation of the spray arms 124 and 126.
  • both the front 286 is tilted relative to the rear, and the first side 290 is tilted relative to the second side 292, then in some examples this is effected by two separate and consecutive tilting operation e.g. (i) tilt front 286 relative to rear 288, then (ii) tilt first side 290 relative to second side 292 (or vice versa). In other examples these two operations can be carried out simultaneously.
  • the tilting of the rack 212 is carried out prior to a washing cycle (e.g. prior to a wetting stage). For example, a user may load the dishwasher, close the door 140 of the dishwasher and initiate a washing cycle by pressing a button on the user interface 136 of the dishwasher. The dishwasher may then automatically begin a tilting operation of the rack 212 before the wetting cycle is begun.
  • a tilting operation of the rack 212 may be carried out at any point before, during or after initiation of a washing cycle. For example, a tilting operation may be conducted after a washing cycle has been completed. This may help with draining of water from washed items, particularly items which may have been upturned during a wash.
  • the rack may be caused to be tilted during the washing cycle.
  • the tilting may occur during any one or more of: the wetting stage; the insertion of detergent stage; the rinsing stage; the drying stage.
  • a tilting operation may include two or more different orientations of the rack 212.
  • the rack may be moved from a first orientation to a second orientation that is different from the first orientation, then to a third orientation that is different than the second orientation (and the third orientation may be different from the first orientation) and so on.
  • moving the rack from the first orientation to the second orientation may be considered a first adjustment operation
  • moving the rack from the second orientation to the third orientation may be considered a second adjustment operation.
  • a transition between different orientations of the rack may be carried out continuously during a washing cycle or stage of a washing cycle.
  • the rack may be continuously cycled between different orientations for a period of time.
  • the adjusting a position and/or orientation of the rack may comprise continuous oscillation or reciprocation of each corner of the rack for a period of time. This may maximise exposure of the items in the rack to sprayed washing water.
  • the controller is configured to cause adjustment of only one of the adjusters 278, 280, 282, and 284 at any one time. In some examples the controller may cause adjustment of two or more of the 278, 280, 282, and 284 simultaneously.
  • the controller 234 is configured to adjust the height and/or orientation of the rack 212 according to a pre-determined adjustment program.
  • the pre-determined adjustment program may comprise a plurality (which may for example be three or more) different orientations of the rack 212.
  • the controller is configured to statically maintain the rack 212 in each of the plurality of different orientations for a period of time.
  • the controller is configured to continuously perform two or more cycles of the pre-determined adjustment program. That is in some examples there is no delay between each of the two or more cycles.
  • data storage for storing data, such as memory. This may be provided by a single device or by plural devices. Suitable devices include for example a hard disk and non-volatile semiconductor memory.
  • the carrier may comprise a storage medium, such as a solid-state drive (SSD) or other semiconductor-based RAM; a ROM, for example a CD ROM or a semiconductor ROM; a magnetic recording medium, for example a floppy disk or hard disk; optical memory devices in general; etc.
  • SSD solid-state drive
  • ROM read-only memory
  • magnetic recording medium for example a floppy disk or hard disk
  • optical memory devices in general etc.
