A household dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity defining a treatment chamber, a loading unit accommodated in the treatment chamber for holding items to be washed, a washing apparatus configured to apply washing liquid to the treatment chamber, and a fan wheel mounted in the treatment chamber above the loading unit for rotation in a blow-off operating phase such that the fan wheel draws in air from the treatment chamber, accelerates and moves the air forward and downward as an air flow in the treatment chamber. The air flow strikes a blow-off region at a top of the loading unit and blowing off washing liquid from atop the items being washed.

A dishwasher includes a tub defining a wash chamber, a wash rack provided within the wash chamber, an air inlet in fluid communication with the wash chamber at a first position, an air exhaust outlet in fluid communication with the wash chamber at a second position different from the first position, a first gas sensor provided in the dishwasher, and a controller configured to initiate an operation sequence. The operation sequence includes initiating a drying cycle, receiving an air-quality signal from the first gas sensor, measuring, during the drying cycle, an air-quality characteristic within the wash chamber of the dishwasher, determining the measured air-quality characteristic is below a predetermined air-quality threshold, calculating a drying time in response to determining the measured air-quality characteristic is below the predetermined air-quality threshold, and halting the drying cycle in response to an expiration of the drying time.

A household dishwasher includes a washing compartment receiving items to be washed, a control device configured to carry out a washing program selected from a number of washing programs for washing the items to be washed in the washing compartment, an optical sensor configured to acquire an optical sensor signal of the items to be washed in the washing compartment, and an evaluation unit configured to identify a drying state of the items to be washed in the washing compartment as a function of the acquired optical sensor signal.

A dishwasher, in particular household dishwasher, includes a dishwasher cavity for receiving an item to be washed, a rotatable fan wheel arranged in the dishwasher cavity and configured to draw in air and to blow out the air, and a motor operably connected to the fan wheel and operating at a rotational speed which is variable over time.

A method of controlling a dishwasher includes: linking the dishwasher to an air quality detection device provided at an outside of the dishwasher, receiving information regarding activation of an auto open door (AOD) function of the dishwasher, determining whether a quality of indoor air input from the air quality detection device is within a set range, based on determining that the quality of the indoor air deviates from the set range, recommending a user of the dishwasher to deactivate the AOD function of the dishwasher, maintaining or deactivating the AOD function of the dishwasher based on a command input from the user, and washing a washing target in the dishwasher.

A method of washing induction cookware having a cookware content, using induction heating and a water jet, and comprising a washing process having the steps of: heating the cookware during a washing cycle; washing the cookware in the washing cycle with a cold-water jet; drying the cookware after the washing cycle; heat sanitization of the cookware; and steam sanitization of the cookware, whereby the washing process is analyzed by a vision system, the washing process is controlled and adjusted by a controller having parameters varying between each of the cookware content; whereby the parameters are derived from an interfaced cooking apparatus and from a manual input and whereby the vision system serves to regulate a water pressure, a water flow, a heating temperature, and time durations between each of the cookware content, with each of the cookware content having a cooking base, a food contact surface, recipe ingredients cooked, a cooking temperature, and a cooking duration.

A dishwasher includes a tub defining a wash chamber, a wash rack provided within the wash chamber, an air inlet in fluid communication with the wash chamber at a first position, an air exhaust outlet in fluid communication with the wash chamber at a second position different from the first position, a first gas sensor provided in the dishwasher, and a controller configured to initiate an operation sequence. The operation sequence includes initiating a drying cycle, receiving an air-quality signal from the first gas sensor, measuring, during the drying cycle, an air-quality characteristic within the wash chamber of the dishwasher, determining the measured air-quality characteristic is below a predetermined air-quality threshold, calculating a drying time in response to determining the measured air-quality characteristic is below the predetermined air-quality threshold, and halting the drying cycle in response to an expiration of the drying time.

A dishwashing appliance and methods for operating the same may provide a cabinet, a tub, a door, a spray assembly, a heating element, and a controller. The door may be rotatably mounted to the cabinet to move between a fully-open position, a preset open-vent position, and a closed position. The preset open-vent position may be between the fully-open and closed positions. The spray assembly may be positioned within the wash chamber. The heating element may be mounted within the cabinet in thermal communication with the wash chamber. The controller may be configured to initiate a dry cycle. The dry cycle may include moving the door from the closed position, determining the door is in the preset open-vent position following moving the door from the closed position, and activating the heating element to generate heat within the wash chamber following moving the door from the closed position.

A dishwasher, in particular household dishwasher, includes a dishwasher cavity for receiving an item to be washed, a rotatable fan wheel arranged in the dishwasher cavity and configured to draw in air and to blow out the air, and a motor operably connected to the fan wheel and operating at a rotational speed which is variable over time.

A conveyor warewasher for cleaning washware includes at least one washing zone at least one rinsing zone and a conveyor apparatus for conveying the washware therethrough. A camera system is arranged above or below or to the side of the conveyor apparatus and is configured to capture at least one image of an area of the conveyor apparatus. An evaluation device is configured to evaluate and determine on the basis of the classification performed whether, at the time of the image capture, at least one of the following categories of washware was present in the area of the conveyor apparatus: cutlery or pieces of cutlery; pots, pans, or GN containers; glasses, in particular drinking glasses; trays or tray-like objects; plates, cups, or bowls; utensils; other washware; mixed washware; plastic washware; or no washware.
