r) (20) opens the secondary valve (valve) of the lid (50) for a certain period of time to perform drainage (the reason why there are several full-water level detection terminals (82, 83, 84) in the water level gauge is the sink) This is because the height of the open water table of the (sink) table (0) is different from each other. In the present invention, the process of cleaning using the ultrasonic transducer has been described. propeller) and motor (moto
The results of the present invention can also be obtained by utilizing r).

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, since the separation type washing machine according to the present invention performs washing by using the sink open water table, it is possible to easily wash dishes even in a narrow space. Of course, it is possible to eliminate the complexity of using the existing dishwasher, simplify the installation, and reduce the price of the product.
