Definitions
- Household dishwasher with at least one air outlet
- the present invention relates to a domestic dishwasher with at least one air outlet for blowing out, in particular, moist air from a washing compartment in which crockery, glasses, cutlery and similar items to be washed can be processed, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the front door of the respective domestic dishwasher is often also opened in a gap during the drying phase of a dishwashing program to be carried out to support drying, so that moist rinsing chamber air can escape from the rinsing chamber of the washing compartment into the environment at the place of installation of the domestic dishwasher and, through it, become drier Ambient air can be replaced.
- a door opening - especially if it takes place in the initial phase of the drying phase - but a removal of thermal energy from the washing compartment is connected, which is energetically counterproductive, since the heat is required for drying.
- the invention is based on the problem of achieving the greatest possible avoidance of water vapor impingement on surrounding furniture, the kitchen floor and front parts of the domestic dishwasher with an attractive optical arrangement and at the same time enabling simple assembly and disassembly of an air outlet, also for maintenance purposes.
- the drying phase preferably remains around a lower one, aligned in the transverse or width direction , Horizontal pivot axis pivotable front door of the household dishwasher in particular, ie closed. This prevents moist washroom air from the opening gap between the upper part of the front door and the washing container rising upwards and leaving condensate from the warm, humid washroom air flowing out on kitchen furniture parts located above the opening gap, such as a kitchen worktop, which can lead to moisture damage there could.
- the household dishwasher designed according to the invention provides, in particular, one or more dishwashing programs in which the items to be cleaned in the washing chamber of the washing compartment of the household dishwasher are exposed to washing liquid or washing liquor in one or more liquid-carrying partial washing phases, such as a pre-washing phase, cleaning phase, intermediate washing phase, final-rinse phase, and then be dried in a Neillprogrammab gleichenden drying phase with the front door remaining closed by means of the blow-out unit according to the invention, in order to then be able to remove them from the washing container without water stains as completely as possible after opening the front door.
- one or more dishwashing programs in which the items to be cleaned in the washing chamber of the washing compartment of the household dishwasher are exposed to washing liquid or washing liquor in one or more liquid-carrying partial washing phases, such as a pre-washing phase, cleaning phase, intermediate washing phase, final-rinse phase, and then be dried in a NeillprogrammabQueryenden drying phase with the front door remaining closed by means of the blow-out unit according to
- the end of the drying phase of the respective dishwashing program can be followed by a so-called “storage function phase” or storage phase for a predetermined period of time, until the end of which one or more additional drying phases are used to ensure that the items to be washed are washed while the front door of the household dishwasher remains closed remain dry in the washroom.
- This "storage function phase” can preferably extend over several days.
- other operating functions of the domestic dishwasher can also be provided by the blow-out unit according to the invention.
- an odor elimination program can be implemented in which the air in the washing chamber is blown out into the vicinity of the domestic dishwasher by means of the blow-out unit and fresh air is sucked into the washing chamber if there is a risk of bad odors forming in the washing chamber. This can happen, for example if, after the end of the last dishwashing program and the removal of the clean and dried items to be washed, soiled items to be washed are placed in the washing compartment of the washing container and then stored in the washing compartment of the washing container with the front door closed for a longer period of time until the next dishwashing program is started.
- a blow-out unit comprising at least one air outlet is arranged in the lower quarter of the height of the appliance, if water vapor rises from the air outlet, the household dishwasher itself, in particular its front door, is acted upon at most, so that part of the water can condense there and does not hit the furniture above.
- the air outlet extends as a slot outlet over at least two thirds of the width of the household dishwasher means that the escaping moisture is widely distributed and mixed with the drier outside air in the room. This disperses the moist washroom air that escapes, preventing high levels of moisture from entering the furniture at certain points.
- the front panel is a skirting board or a skirting board, which below the front door has a lower skirting area that is set back, in particular in relation to the front of the domestic dishwasher Household dishwasher covers the front, above which the washing container is arranged.
- the skirting board or the skirting board is preferably on the floor.
- the front panel preferably the plinth board, can be set back in the depth direction of the domestic dishwasher relative to the front lower edge of the front door, which may be fitted with a furniture panel or decorative panel on the front.
- the front panel can be formed in particular by the kitchen skirting board of the fitted kitchen, which preferably rests on the floor.
- the plinth panel can be attached to the appliance plinth that is set back relative to it, preferably ex works, such that the plinth panel is Substantially flush with the outer surface of the front door when it is brought into its approximately vertical closed end position.
- the front panel in particular the base panel, can be dismantled particularly quickly and easily.
- the holder between the blow-out unit comprising the air outlet and the front panel can preferably be detachable simply by dismantling the front panel, so that the front panel can be removed in just one step.
- the bracket between the blowout unit comprising the air outlet and the front panel can be brought into an engagement position by mounting the front panel without the use of tools, in order to also facilitate the (re)mounting of the front panel.
- the air outlet of the blow-out unit viewed in its final assembly position, has a blow-out duct extending toward the front.
- the exhaust channel is expediently designed in such a way that in the final assembly position of the exhaust unit it overlaps the front panel closing the base of the domestic dishwasher at the front, in particular protrudes at least the same distance towards the front.
- the air outlet of the blow-out unit with its blow-out duct advantageously overlaps a front panel closing off a base at the front, in particular a base panel, and protrudes at least the same distance towards the front, air can be blown out to the front without moisture being present on a front panel attached to the front door decorative panel or kitchen furniture panel and/or on and/or in the neighboring piece of furniture, especially if the domestic dishwasher is housed, for example, standing on the floor in a built-in kitchen niche below a kitchen worktop or in a built-in niche of kitchen furniture - preferably as a compact appliance - built into a small kitchen cabinet.
- the air outlet of the air outlet can be accommodated in a visually unobtrusive way with a good design.
- the air blown out is thus guided away from the front of the household dishwasher according to the invention, in particular from its front door equipped with a decorative panel or kitchen furniture panel, and/or the adjacent kitchen furniture; the accumulation of moisture in the installation space of kitchen furniture is then avoided.
- the air often laden with moisture that exits at the front end of the, in particular slot-shaped, exhaust duct of the air outlet can mix quickly and over a large area with the outside air in the kitchen, which is drier than this.
- the blow-out unit preferably comprises an air pre-distributor, which protrudes upwards in its final assembly position and extends in the width direction, at the upper end of which the blow-out channel of the air outlet, which is in particular slot-shaped, extends to the front, and which has one, in particular rear, connection for has an air supply line.
- the air distributor In the final assembly position of the blow-out assembly, the air distributor is therefore lower, viewed in the height direction, ie below the blow-out duct that reaches forward or protrudes.
- it is advantageously arranged behind the front panel in particular. In particular, it is releasably mounted on the rear wall.
- the cavity of the air manifold is at its lower end sealed airtight and/or watertight so that it forms a condensate collection tank in its lower area.
- the blow-out unit which includes the blow-out duct, the air pre-distributor and the connection for the air supply line, is designed in one piece or in one piece, i.e. it forms a single component. This greatly simplifies their assembly/disassembly. It is preferably made of plastic, in particular by plastic injection molding.
- the air connection line is connected with its upstream end to at least one air outlet opening in at least one boundary wall of the washing chamber.
- the air outlet opening is preferably located in a side wall of the washing compartment.
- An air-conveying element such as a fan, is expediently inserted into the air connection line for sucking off washing-room air from the washing-room.
- an upstream section of the air connection line connects the air outlet opening provided in a boundary wall of the washing chamber to the air inlet of the air conveying element, while a downstream section of the air connection line fluidly connects the air outlet of the air conveying element to the connection, preferably at the rear, of the blow-out unit.
- This air conveying element draws in scavenging room air from the scavenging room via the upstream section of the air connection line and blows it via the flow downstream section of the air connection line via the connection of the blow-out unit into its air pre-distributor.
- the front panel is assigned a front protective frame, which in turn is connected or can be connected to the exhaust unit, preferably its, in particular, slot-shaped exhaust channel, the protective frame can conceal saw edges in the front panel, ensure a forced alignment of the exhaust unit and and removal, always ensure the correct position of the parts on one another, especially if the protective frame itself is or can be detachably connected to the blow-out unit, in particular by bracing.
- the protective frame is preferably inserted—preferably from the front—into a cut-out area of the front panel that is open at the top, and is firmly connected there, in particular to the front panel, in particular by at least one screw connection.
- An advantageous mounting between the blow-out unit comprising the air outlet and the front panel can be achieved by one or more clip connections or snap connections.
- This clip connection or snap connection is mechanically stable and yet easy to detach.
- retaining cones can be provided with expansion vanes distributed over their circumference, which can be connected to the blow-out unit.
- the blow-out unit can then be attached to this retaining cone.
- the forward-reaching, in particular slot-shaped, blow-out channel of the blow-out unit is releasably connected to the rear of the protective frame.
- at least one holding lug for the connection to the blow-out unit can preferably be provided on the rear side of the protective frame facing away from the front side. This can be disengaged from the blow-out assembly, in particular by engaging a tool from the front of the protective frame. If the retaining tab is provided with latching elements, it can automatically latch with the blow-out unit of the air outlet and hold it securely when the front panel is pressed in.
- the holder between the blow-out unit comprising the air outlet and the front panel can include a magnetic connection, for example via neodymium magnets.
- the holder prefferably includes a Velcro connection between the blow-out structural unit that includes the air outlet and the front panel.
- the air outlet forms a discharge duct several centimeters long in the direction of the front, the discharge direction of which is inclined downwards by several degrees in relation to the outer floor, such as the kitchen floor.
- the door leaf as well as the surrounding furniture fronts are well protected from moisture.
- the exhaust duct is inclined between 2° and 10°, preferably between 4° and 6°, towards the outer floor such as the kitchen floor, in order to allow the desired underflow of a piece of furniture attached to the front of the front door, but on the other hand it does not blow down so far i.e. blows downwards that moisture forms on the outer floor such as kitchen floor.
- a slightly larger inclination up to a maximum of approx. 20° is also possible.
- the air outlet is at least 40 centimeters wide overall (especially in relation to a domestic dishwasher with a width of 60 cm), a very wide and even distribution of the moisture and the exiting air can be achieved.
- the width of the air outlet can take up almost the entire width of the device in a particularly favorable manner.
- the air outlet is designed as a flat slot outlet with a height-to-width ratio of between 1:20 and 1:200, preferably approximately 1:100 (in particular in relation to a household dishwasher with an appliance width of 60 cm).
- a high discharge surface can be achieved.
- a high level of efficiency can be achieved if the air outlet can be controlled by at least one conveying element such as a fan wheel, which is arranged in the lower region of the domestic dishwasher in the depth direction behind the blow-out unit comprising the air outlet.
- the fan wheel or the like can then be approximately at the same height as the air outlet itself and can be arranged in a space-saving manner in the base of the domestic dishwasher.
- the fan wheel or a similar conveying element can be controlled in a clocked or continuous manner, namely during the drying phase of the respective dishwashing program and/or also beyond the end of this drying phase over a period of several days.
- the household dishwasher can advantageously serve as storage furniture or storage for items to be washed, such as crockery, glasses, cutlery and the like, and these items to be washed and dried beforehand during the respective dishwashing program can be dried again and again in phases or continuously over a period of several days.
- the front door of the domestic dishwasher preferably remains closed both during the regular drying phase of the respective dishwashing program to be carried out and during a possible subsequent "storage function phase".
- This storage of items to be washed in the washing chamber of the washing compartment, preferably with the front door remaining closed, immediately after the end of the drying phase of the previously executed dishwashing program is referred to as the “storage function phase”.
- the conveying element can be controlled both for its operation during the drying phase of the respective dishwashing program and during any subsequent "storage function phase", if necessary via a moisture detection in the washing chamber of the washing container.

- FIG. 8 is a view from obliquely above looking forward to the rear of the front panel of Figures 1 - 7 with the blow-out unit attached thereto, with an associated air supply line being attached to the connection of the blow-out unit, which is preferably on the rear in the exemplary embodiment here - here in the exemplary embodiment in the form of a corrugated hose, which is installed horizontally - is connected.
- the domestic appliance shown schematically in FIG. 1 is a domestic dishwasher 1 here.
- Other domestic appliances 1 with a drying function for the item to be processed can also be considered in principle for an embodiment according to the invention.
- washing liquor is understood to mean water that is fresh or, in particular, water that is circulating during operation, with or without cleaning agent and/or rinse aid and/or drying agent.
- the washing liquor or washing liquid has passed through an ion exchanger for softening.
- the rinsing liquor can also contain more or less dirt from ongoing operations.
- the washing compartment 2 can have an at least substantially rectangular outline with a front side V facing a user in the operating position. This front side V can form part of a kitchen front made of kitchen furniture standing next to one another or, in the case of a stand-alone appliance, can also be unrelated to other furniture.
- the washing compartment 2 can be closed by a front door or flap 3 in particular on this front side V.
- This front door 3 is partially open in Figure 1 and then oblique to the vertical standing position shown. In its closed position, however, it stands upright and, according to the drawing, can be pivoted forwards and downwards in the direction of arrow 4 to its opening around a lower horizontal axis, so that it is at least almost horizontal in the fully open position.
- the front door 3 can be provided with a decorative panel 6 on the exterior and front side V of the domestic dishwasher 1, which is vertical in the closed position and faces the user, in order to experience a visual and/or haptic enhancement and/or an adaptation to the surrounding kitchen furniture.
- the household dishwasher is designed here as a stand-alone or as a so-called partially integrated or fully integrated device.
- the appliance body 5 can also essentially end with the outer walls of the washing container 2 .
- a housing surrounding this on the outside can then be dispensed with.
- an air outlet 14 which will be described further below, is provided, which partially overlaps a front panel 15 that optically closes the base or the base recess space to the front toward the front side V.
- the movable front door 3 is assigned in its upper area a front control panel 8 which extends in the transverse direction Q of the domestic dishwasher and which can include an access opening 7 accessible from the front V for manually opening and/or closing the door 3.
- the domestic dishwasher In the transverse direction Q, the domestic dishwasher often extends 45, 50 or 60 centimeters. In the depth direction T from the front V to the rear, the extension is often also around 60 centimeters. The values are not mandatory.
- the household dishwasher 1 does not have to stand directly on a floor B, such as a kitchen space, but can also be installed approximately at eye level within a piece of kitchen furniture, so that the initially addressed problem of drafts through an air outlet 14 is particularly important.
- the front control panel 8 in the upper area of the front door is omitted and replaced by a control panel in the upper edge of the front door.
- Other arrangements of the control panel on and/or in the front door are also possible. If necessary, the control panel can be omitted entirely, for example if the operation of the household dishwasher can be controlled and/or monitored using a mobile communication device such as a smartphone.
- the washing compartment 2 is delimited all around by three fixed vertical walls 13 and two horizontal walls 13 , one of which forms a top (top) and another a bottom (bottom) of the washing compartment 2 .
- a left upright side wall 13 adjoins the front side V facing the user in the transverse direction Q to the left and a right upright side wall 13 to the right.
- the wall forming the base of the washing compartment 2 and delimiting it essentially downwards lies approximately horizontally above the base 12, ie parallel to an outer floor B, in particular a kitchen area, on which the domestic dishwasher 1 can stand.
- a higher installation for example at the height of a worktop, is also possible, as mentioned, in particular within a cupboard.
- the lower edge of the domestic dishwasher 1 is approximately 70 to 110 centimeters above the floor B.
- the household dishwasher 1 is provided with at least one air outlet 14 for blowing out, in particular, humid air from the washing compartment of the washing compartment 2 .
- This air outlet 14 can blow air, in particular moist air, out of the washing compartment of the washing compartment into the free air space on the front side V of the domestic dishwasher 1 facing a user, so that the moist air is not introduced inside a kitchen unit and could cause damage there due to moisture.
- the blowing out of in particular moist washing room air by means of the air outlet 14 preferably takes place during the program-concluding drying phase of a dishwashing program to be carried out and/or during at least one additional drying phase of a subsequent "storage function phase". In any case, the front door 3 remains closed.
- the air outlet 14 is part of a blow-out unit 16, which is shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 8 by way of example.
- the at least one air outlet 14 extends over two thirds of the width Q of the domestic dishwasher 1, in particular more. A particularly uniform distribution of the exiting air can thus be achieved, so that the phenomenon of drafts is minimized.
- the blowout assembly 16 may be formed entirely of plastic. Furthermore, the air outlet 14 can be divided into a plurality of partial slits which are aligned next to one another. They don't all have to be the same length. It is important that a broad air outlet 14 is created overall, which enables a high air throughput in order to achieve a broad distribution of the moisture contained in the air.
- the air outlet 14 is arranged here in the lower quarter of the height of the appliance and - as described - extends as a one-part or multi-part slot outlet over at least two thirds of the width Q of the household dishwasher 1.
- the air outlet 14 is at least 40 centimeters (especially in a household dishwasher with 60 cm device width) wide. It can also extend over almost the entire width Q of the domestic dishwasher 1 .
- the front panel 15 covering the base 12 to the front has a cut-out 17 of appropriate width in its upper area in order to be able to accommodate a blow-out channel 18 of the air outlet 14 therein in such a way that it can be removed when the air outlet is in the installed position 14 overlaps the upper edge of the front panel 15 towards the front side V and can blow out towards the front.
- the exhaust channel 18 protrudes at least so far that it reaches the front, upper edge of the front panel 15 .
- the air outlet 14 therefore overlaps with the exhaust duct 18 the front panel 15 that closes the base 12 to the front or protrudes at least the same distance towards the front side V in relation to it.
- the blow-out unit 16 thus has approximately an upside-down L-shape, with the blow-out channel 18 forming the short leg of an L which is approximately horizontal and points in the direction of the front V.
- the blow-out unit 16 comprising the air outlet 14 is held directly or indirectly on the front panel 15 which is attached to the front side V and optically closes off the front base recess area of the domestic dishwasher to the front.
- the plinth panel 15 is offset in the plinth recess space compared to the decorative panel 6 of the front door 3, which protrudes downwards in the direction of the floor B, viewed in the depth direction and positioned with a clearance in the depth direction in front of the front of the plinth 12. She stands on floor B with her bottom up.
- this free space allows the air flow blown out of the exhaust opening to flow far enough away from the lower edge of the decorative panel 6 horizontally forwards or inclined downwards by a few degrees freely forwards into the free space in front of the front door fitted with the decorative panel on the front.
- the blow-out unit 16 preferably has an air pre-distributor 29, which protrudes upwards in its final assembly position and extends in the width direction Q, at the upper end of which the blow-out channel 18, which extends to the front, of the air outlet 14, which is in particular slot-shaped, is connected. and which has one, in particular rear, connection 19 (see FIG. 8) for an air supply line 20 .
- the air distributor 29 is therefore lower in the final assembly position of the blow-out unit 16 viewed in the height direction, i.e. below the blow-out channel 18 that reaches forward or protrudes . In particular, it is releasably mounted or held on its rear wall.
- the hollow space of the air distributor 29 is preferably closed airtight and/or watertight at its lower end, so that it forms a condensate collection tank in its lower area.
- the blow-out unit 16 which includes the blow-out duct 18, the air pre-distributor 29 and the connection 19 for the air supply line 20, is designed in one piece or in one piece, ie it forms a single component. This greatly simplifies their assembly/disassembly. It is preferably made of plastic, in particular by plastic injection molding.
- the blow-out assembly 16 can thus be held together as a whole even when the front panel 15 is opened, for example for maintenance purposes, for which purpose the front panel 15 is in particular tilted forward and pulled forward out of the base recess space, and does not have to be dismantled. This greatly simplifies handling when access to base 12 is required and eliminates the possibility of errors, such as incorrect reassembly.
- the holder between the blowout unit 16 comprising the air outlet 14 and the front panel 15 can be detached without tools when the front panel 15 is dismantled, which makes the work of the respective fitter particularly easier.
- the holder between the blowout unit 16 comprising the air outlet 14 and the front panel 15 can be detached simply by dismantling the front panel 15 . It is then sufficient to pull the front panel 15 away with a component forward V and/or turn it away, then the holding connection to the blow-out unit 16 is automatically released without any further work step.
- the air outlet 14 with the air distribution 29 feeding it and a rear connection 19 remain connected as a common blow-out unit 16, regardless of the type of detachable mounting, as well as one in the connection 19 inflowing air supply line (air supply line) 20, which is in particular overly long - here in the exemplary embodiment (see FIG. 8) preferably a corrugated pipe lying in the installed position in the transverse direction Q or lying flexible air hose, in particular a corrugated hose - in an installed position on the blow-out Unit 16 can be held.
- the blow-out unit 16 and the air supply line 20 therefore remain connected as a common unit when the base panel is dismantled and also afterwards.
- the front panel 15 can be assigned a front protective frame 21, which is designed, for example, in the manner of a ventilation grille and, with frame parts on the edge, overlaps the edges of the cut-out 17, for example saw edges, so that any tears are covered.
- the protective frame 21 is preferably inserted from the front V and can therefore be braced against the blow-out unit 16 behind it, in particular its blow-out channel 18 projecting or reaching forward, without being able to be pulled backwards into the domestic dishwasher 1 .
- the protective frame 21 is therefore provided in the version according to FIG.
- the blow-out unit 16 can thus engage with the blow-out channel 18 from the inside between two elastic retaining lines 24, for example rubber, which is thus fixed in its position reaching to the front side V of the front panel and via the resiliently downwardly biased retaining tab 22 with the Blowout assembly 16 is securely connected.
- the latching elements 23 can easily engage in a form-fitting manner in corresponding undercuts on the air pre-distributor 29 and/or the blow-out channel 18 or act on the blow-out structural unit 16 only by means of a frictional connection.
- a clip connection which engages automatically when the front panel 15 is pushed on, is created as a holder between the blow-out unit 16 and the front panel 15 .
- a tool 25 can be inserted from the front of the protective frame 21, which is shown in the right-most part of the figure in FIG.
- a clip connection between the blow-out unit 16, which includes the air outlet 14, and the front panel 15 is also shown in FIGS. with the Ausblas- unit 15, in particular the air pre-distributor 29, can be connected in a latching manner.
- the connection can be closed by pressing the front panel 15 backwards against the front side V and can be opened by pulling in the direction of the front side V.
- the holder between the blowout unit 16 comprising the air outlet 14 and the front panel 15 can also include a magnetic connection and/or a Velcro connection—not shown here.
- the air outlet 14 with its exhaust duct 18, which extends broadly in the transverse direction Q but directs the air in the direction of the front side V, can overlap the front panel 15 that closes the base 12 to the front and protrude at least the same distance towards the front side V.
- the base 12 can set back a few centimeters with its front panel 15 compared to the door 3, but moistening of the lower edge of the door 3 can be avoided by the forward-pointing component of the air outlet velocity.
- an upper guide, for example an upper wall, of the air outlet 14 on its blow-out channel 18 can be arranged at a slight incline such that the escaping air is blown out a few degrees downwards into the room.
- the air outlet is therefore not completely horizontal, but can be carried out through the downward component under the door 3 without causing moisture damage there. Due to the wide extension of the air outlet 14 disturbing drafts are prevented.
- the blown air is carried a few centimeters in front of the device 1, in particular in a direct way, ie unhindered or without deflections, before an ascending component becomes effective because the blown air is usually warmer than the surrounding room air .
- the downward component is between 2° and 10°, and a blow-out angle of between 4° and 6° relative to the horizontal downwards is particularly favorable in order to protect the door from moisture and at the same time not direct any moisture onto the outer floor B, such as the kitchen floor.
- the air outlet 14 with its exhaust channel 18 is designed as a flat slot outlet for this purpose, the height-to-width ratio of which is preferably between 1:20 and 1:200, preferably approximately equal to 1:100 (especially in relation to a household dishwasher with an appliance width of 60 cm). can.
- its height in the vertical direction H is in particular less than approximately 8 mm, preferably approximately equal to 4 mm. This ensures that the air outlet 14 takes up little installation space in the height direction H, and the overall extension of the air outlet 14 is large enough to discharge a large volume and thus keep the draft very low.
- At least one conveying element can be assigned to the line 20 in or before the connection to the air outlet 14, which can also be controlled in a clocked manner, even over a period of several days.
- a household dishwasher 1 of this type can also be provided with a so-called “storage function”, which allows the items to be washed to remain in the washing compartment 2 after processing without becoming wet again. This retention can last for several days without the dryness of the items to be washed deteriorating.
- the domestic dishwasher 1 then also serves as a storage and drying cabinet from which the items to be washed can be removed fresh and dry.
- the conveying element can be controlled in a clocked manner.
- the conveying element is controlled via a moisture sensor system, which provides a measure of the current moisture content of items to be washed in the washing compartment.
- the conveyor element is preferably only switched on every now and then in order to repeatedly convey moist air out of the washing container 2 and thus to preserve the quality of the cleaning of the items to be washed, even over a longer period of time. Due to the short effective running times, the energy requirement is low—as is the noise level from the at least one fan impeller or a similar conveying element.
- the conveying element is operated continuously with air to be blown out, in particular washing room air, during the drying phase of the respective dishwashing program and/or during the entire duration of any subsequent "storage function phase" and/or another operating phase of the household dishwasher .
