Description

    A DISHWASHER COMPRISING A RECEPTACLE
  • The present invention relates to a dishwasher comprising a receptacle placed on the rack.
  • In dishwashers, the washing process is realized by spraying the water received from the main delivery line onto the dishes by means of the spray arms. The spraying elements provided on the spray arm enable the water to be sprayed onto the dishes at a certain pressure. The flow rate and pressure of the sprayed water are critical in terms of cleaning of the dishes. In the dishwashers, washing areas are formed to clean heavy stains. Additional spraying elements are used to clean the stains in the washing areas. However, the water continuously flows down the dishes, and the dried, heavy stains cannot be cleaned. Therefore, before being loaded into the dishwasher, the dishes are soaked in water by the user to soften the stains. The dishes with the heavy stains removed are loaded into the dishwasher. As water is consumed both before the dishes are loaded into the dishwasher and during the washing process in the dishwasher, water consumption increases. Moreover, the user spends additional time.
  • In the state of the art United States of America Patent Application No. US2014259381, a dishwasher is disclosed, comprising a rack which enables the dishes to be soaked in water.
  • The aim of the present invention is the realization of a dishwasher with improved washing effectiveness.
