Among other things, a method is disclosed which includes the following: acquiring at least one set of acceleration data indicative of a progression of measured acceleration values; determining status data indicative of a process step within a cleaning program performed by a dishwasher; outputting or causing the output of the determined status data. Further revealed is 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 employing a processor.

A dishwasher (1) for cleaning washware items (2) in the form of drinking vessels, in particular drinking cups, mugs, glasses or bottles, wherein the dishwasher is in particular configured as a counter module of a counter system and includes at least one and preferably exactly one treatment zone (3) with an associated placement area (4) and an associated removal area (5). The washware item to be cleaned can preferably manually be placed into the treatment zone via the placement area and the cleaned washware item can preferably manually be removed from the treatment zone via the removal area. The placement area and the removal area are disposed opposite one another with the interposition of the treatment zone. At least one bracket (15) is provided in the treatment zone for in particular releasably securing and/or positioning the washware item placed onto a placement surface (20) in the treatment zone.

A method of operating an appliance including determining user satisfaction with an operation cycle, adjusting at least one operational parameter of the cycle based on the user satisfaction, and incorporating the adjusted operational parameter into a subsequent cycle.

An appliance, system, and method for operating an appliance is provided. The appliance, system, and method are configured to execute operations including determining when a dispensing device for a detergent meets or exceeds a detergent level threshold, determining if a first wash mode corresponding to a performance wash mode is activated, and changing operation from the first wash mode to a second wash mode corresponding to an efficiency wash mode when the dispensing device meets or exceeds the detergent level threshold and the first wash mode is activated.

A condition warning system for an apparatus such as a pot and pan washing machine, a control system and control methods for a pot and pan washing machine are provided. The condition warning system includes a control system that monitors operational, safety or compliance parameters of an apparatus, and a light that illuminates a location below (or above) an operator's direct line of sight, and which is outside of the operator's direct line of sight. The control system and control methods include a punitive wash action lockout, an extended wash cycle time, and a deep clean wash cycle.

A dishwasher, in which a reservoir provided with an electrolyzer is connected to a water collector via a flow path change valve, and wash water in the reservoir is electrolyzed by the electrolyzer during non-operation of the wash water, to generate sterilizing water and to circulate the sterilizing water into the dishwasher, thereby achieving an enhancement in sterilizability of the dishwasher. A method for controlling a dishwasher makes it possible to suppress propagation of microorganisms left in the dishwasher and to remove organic substances, using a sterilizing agent or high-temperature water. It is also possible to reduce generation of offensive odor caused by decomposition of bacteria, through a reduction in the amount of bacteria in the dishwasher. Since sterilization of the dishwasher is automatically carried out, enhanced user convenience is provided.

A method of operating a dishwashing machine including determining user satisfaction with a dishwashing cycle, adjusting at least one operational parameter of the dishwashing cycle based on the user satisfaction, and incorporating the adjusted operational parameter into a subsequent dishwashing cycle.

The invention relates to a system, wherein the system has a washer (1) that is preferably in the form of a commercial washer (1). The washer (1) may be in the form of a utensil washer or dishwasher. Further, the system has at least one sensor device for capturing at least one process-relevant parameter of the washer (1) and/or for monitoring at least one function-relevant component of the washer (1). The system additionally has a machine control unit having a device for wireless data transmission for transmitting received sensor data from the sensor device to an external device (2).

A steam generator and a control method thereof are disclosed. The control method includes supplying water to a first chamber (C1), turning a heater (83) on, wherein power is supplied to the heater (83) to heat the heater (83) at a third temperature so as to generate steam, preventing overheating, wherein power supplied to the heater is cut at a first temperature so as to prevent overheating of the heater, and determining scale, wherein power supplied to the heater (83) is cut at a second temperature lower than the first temperature and then is resupplied after a predetermined time so as to prevent malfunction of the overheating prevention, wherein, when a time interval for the temperature of the heater to rise from the third temperature to the first temperature is within a predetermined time, determining scale is not performed.
