Semi-automatic ware washing sprayer system
A control box for a sprayer system is provided. The control box may include a wash flow path, a wash flow solenoid disposed in the wash flow path, a detergent supply assembly disposed in wash flow path, a rinse flow path, a rinse flow solenoid disposed in the rinse flow path, a common flow path, a flow switch disposed in the common flow path, an alternating relay, and a connection valve leading to a discharge flow path. The flow switch may be configured to provide a signal to the alternating relay. The alternating relay may be configured to control both the wash flow solenoid and the rinse flow solenoid. The connection valve may receive both the wash flow path and the rinse flow path. In another embodiment, a sprayer system including a control box and a sprayer unit is provided.
Monitoring of loading and/or unloading of dishwasher machines
Among other things, a method is disclosed which comprises the following: acquiring at least one set of acceleration data indicative of a progression of measured acceleration values; determining at least one set of evaluation data at least partially based on the acquired acceleration data, wherein determining the evaluation data comprises determining whether one or more characteristic actions have been performed by a user, and if so, performing the following: storing an action data representing the one or more actions that is included in the determined evaluation data or is at least a part of the determined evaluation data; and outputting or causing the output of the determined evaluation data. A device for executing and/or controlling this method, a system with one or more devices for executing and/or controlling this method and a computer program for executing and/or controlling this method by a processor are further disclosed.

Dish treating appliance with a door opener
A dish treating appliance includes a cabinet defining an interior with an access opening. A door is hingedly mounted to the cabinet for pivoting movement about a pivot axis between closed and opened positions to selectively close and open the access opening. A door opener includes a housing mounted to the cabinet and defining a pin opening facing the door. An opening pin is located within the housing and aligned with the pin opening. A lever is rotatably mounted to the housing to define a rotation axis and is selectively operably coupled to the opening pin. An actuator having a reciprocating shaft is connected to the lever.
METHOD OF TREATING DISHWARE IN A DOMESTIC AUTOMATIC DISHWASHING MACHINE
A method of treating dishware in a domestic automatic dishwashing machine for from 30 minutes to 50 minutes includes washing the dishware for from 15 minutes to 30 minutes and rinsing the dishware for from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Washing the dishware includes dosing from 2.0 litres to 5.0 litres of water into a cleaning chamber of the domestic automatic dishwashing machine and contacting the dishware in the cleaning chamber with the wash water. At least 10 minutes of washing the dishware is carried out at a temperature ranging from 40° C. to less than 50° C. Rinsing the dishware includes dosing from 2.0 litres to 5.0 litres of rinse water into the cleaning chamber and contacting the dishware in the cleaning chamber with the rinse water. At least 7 minutes of rinsing the dishware is carried out at a temperature ranging from 55° C. to 65° C.
