A conveyor dishwasher (1) for washing washware has at least one final rinse zone (30, 40) and at least one washing zone (10, 20) whichas seen in the conveying direction (T) of the washwareis arranged upstream of the at least one final rinse zone (30, 40). A sensor device (5) is provided for detecting at least one parameter which characterizes the quality of the liquid which is to be sprayed in the at least one washing zone (10, 20), wherein the conveyor dishwasher (1) has a liquid transfer system which is designed, for the purpose of regenerating the washing liquid which is to be sprayed in the at least one washing zone (10, 20), to preferably as required supply an in particular definable quantity of fresh water to the at least one washing zone (10, 20).

A household appliance includes a selectively mountable wireless communication module. The selectively mountable wireless communication module can be selectively mounted in a toe kick area of the household appliance. The household appliance can be, but is not limited to, a dishwasher, an oven, a refrigerator, a freezer, a microwave, a washing machine, a dryer, or a combo washer-dryer.

The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus for rinsing and disinfecting utensils, on demand, with a controller operating the components that deliver a pre-determined volume or timed flow of water, and exposure time of sanitizer(s) to the intended objects. The spray embodiment has high performance conical spray nozzle(s) controlled by a controller that reduces water usage and that may vary depending on the viscosity of the material to be eliminated. The recirculating embodiment has a recirculating water system, with a controller operating the components that recirculate water throughout the system until the turbidity exceeds a chosen threshold, and displace with fresh water until the turbidity returns to a lower threshold. The water resumes recirculation until it again exceeds the chose turbidity threshold and the water in the system is again displaced by fresh water. Both spray and recirculating embodiments can contain multiple rinse stations.

A dishwasher includes a washing system configured as a recirculation loop and a dirt discharge system associated with the washing system. The dirt discharge system is associated with a separator apparatus configured so as to separate at least a portion of the washing liquid required to empty a dirt collection region of the dirt discharge system and discharged together with the dirt particles from the dirt collection region from the dirt particles discharged from the dirt collection region and to return the separated washing liquid back to the water circulation of the dishwasher.

A dishwasher with a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, a spraying system for spraying liquid into the treating chamber, and a recirculation system for recirculating liquid sprayed in the treating chamber to the spraying system with a variable filtration system. Method of operating includes recirculating a liquid, supplying a first portion of the liquid through the spraying system, supplying a second portion of the liquid through the filter, and varying the amount of the second portion.

The present inventive concept relates to a device (500) utilizing water for a group of cleaning procedures, wherein each cleaning procedure (100) in the group of cleaning procedures comprises a plurality of cleaning phases (102, 104, 106, 108) each using cleaning phase water having a substance content with respect to a number of substances, wherein the device (500) comprises a sensor arrangement (554) configured to determine a first substance content (110) with respect to at least one of the number of substances in first cleaning phase water from a first cleaning phase (102) being part of the plurality of cleaning phases (102, 104, 106, 108); wherein the device (500) is configured to end the first cleaning phase (102) if a pre-determined condition related to the first substance content (110) and associated with the first cleaning phase (102) has been met.

The present invention provides a method of dispensing a plurality of treating compositions into a multistage automatic washing machine. The method comprises operating a device in the machine. The device comprises at least two chambers. Each chamber contains a treating composition. The chambers are activated in response to input from a sensor. The device has an associated reservoir for collection of wash liquor.

A method for the dosing of cleaning agents in cleaning machines, including the steps: receiving control information items, wherein the control information items are dependent on information about a cleaning machine; determining the progress of a cleaning operation; dosing of cleaning agent depending on the received control information items and the determined progress of the cleaning operation; wherein the information about the cleaning machine can be determined via a sensor-based automatic recognition.

A household appliance includes a selectively mountable wireless communication module. The selectively mountable wireless communication module can be selectively mounted in a toe kick area of the household appliance. The household appliance can be, but is not limited to, a dishwasher, an oven, a refrigerator, a freezer, a microwave, a washing machine, a dryer, or a combo washer-dryer.

A system for dosing substances such as cleaning and/or care agents is disclosed. The system includes a dosing device, at least one energy source, a control unit, a sensor unit, and at least two cartridges for respectively accommodating at least one of the cleaning and/or care agents. The at least two cartridges are capable of being coupled to the dosing device.
