The present disclosure relates to a dishmachine that includes at least two tanks and methods of using the tanks to isolate, substantially isolate, or incrementally isolate different chemistries from each other during a cycle. The disclosed dishmachine design and method allows for the use of two different, and potentially incompatible, reactive, or offsetting chemistries to be used in the same dishmachine cycle.

A method for fragrancing and/or deodorizing a cleaning appliance is disclosed. The method involves capturing first information or obtaining captured first information indicative of an odor load in the interior of the cleaning appliance, producing fragrancing and/or deodorizing information based at least in part on the captured or obtained first information or outputting the captured first information in order to produce fragrancing and/or deodorizing information of this type, and initiating fragrancing and/or deodorization by employing at least one actuator for releasing a fragrancing and/or deodorizing agent based on the fragrancing and/or deodorizing information produced. A corresponding dosing device, a device for carrying out and/or controlling the method, and a system with one or more devices for carrying out and/or controlling the method are also disclosed.

A method of cleaning ware in a domestic dishwasher using a program having a main wash and a rinse cycle, the method having the step of delivering a dose of a cleaning composition wherein the delivery of the cleaning composition is split between the main wash and the rinse.

A dosing unit (100) for use in an automatic dosing system (20) of a water-bearing household appliance (1), for automatically dosing a dosing amount (122) of a solid detergent, the dosing unit (100) comprising a dosing cartridge (110) for storing a bulk (112) of the solid detergent and a dosing device (120) for separating the dosing amount (122) from the bulk (112) and releasing the separated dosing amount (122) by linearly displacing a sliding element (124) from a separating position to a release position, wherein the dosing device (120) includes a dosing channel (126), wherein, when the sliding element (124) is in the separating position, the dosing channel (126) is configured for receiving at least the dosing amount (122) from the bulk (112) and intermediately storing the dosing amount (122) in a pre-dosing position, and, when the sliding element (124) is in the release position, the dosing device (120) is configured for releasing the dosing amount (122) intermediately stored in the pre-dosing position.

A detergent dispensing apparatus 3 used for a dish washer and a dish washer comprising the detergent dispensing apparatus 3. The detergent dispensing apparatus 3 comprises a liquid storage box, a liquid outlet pump 32 and a pipeline module. The liquid storage box comprises a first half housing and a second half housing, and the first half housing and the second half housing fixedly connect each other in a first direction so as to define a liquid storage cavity used for storing detergent. The liquid outlet pump 32 is configured to suction the detergent from the liquid storage cavity and dispense the detergent to the exterior of the detergent dispensing apparatus 3. The pipeline module comprises a liquid adding channel used for adding the detergent to the liquid storage cavity, a liquid inlet channel used by the liquid outlet pump 32 for extracting the detergent from the liquid storage cavity, and a liquid outlet channel used by the liquid outlet pump 32 for dispensing the detergent. The second half housing defines at least a portion of a pump accommodating space that is used for accommodating the liquid outlet pump.

A detergent dispenser may be positioned to dispense detergent into a wash tub of a household appliance. The detergent dispenser may include a detergent cartridge. The detergent cartridge may include a detergent strip having a plurality of detergents. One or more ejection mechanisms may be used to expel the detergent from the detergent strip through an outlet of the detergent cartridge.

A dosing system for installation in a domestic dishwasher is disclosed. The dosing system in some embodiments permits the automated delivery of a defined dose of a detergent in powder form into a dishwashing chamber of the dishwasher. It comprises for this purpose a supply chamber for receiving a supply of the detergent and an extracting mechanism for extracting a dose of the detergent from the supply and for delivering the extracted dose into a fall channel. In order to assist with expelling an extracted dose of the detergent powder from the fall channel or/and to accelerate drying of the fall channel, the dosing system in some embodiments includes a fan for generating a blowing air stream which flows through at least parts of the fall channel.

The present disclosure relates to a dishmachine that includes one or more features directed to water, energy or material savings. The disclosed dishmachines are still capable of meeting the soil demands of the articles to be cleaned.

An automated cleaning machine may include one or more short cleaning cycles in which the duration of a cleaning cycle is shortened relative to the duration of a default cleaning cycle. During a short cleaning cycle, other cleaning cycle parameters may also be adjusted to ensure that the articles subjected to the short cleaning cycle are adequately cleaned and sanitized. For example, the wash temperature, rinse temperature, and/or cleaning product amounts or concentrations, may be adjusted to account for the shortened duration of the cleaning cycle. The automated cleaning machine may further include one or more short cycle mode(s) during which short cleaning cycle parameters are used and one or more default cycle mode(s) during which default cleaning cycle parameters are used.

A method for operating a water-bearing household appliance for treating articles, in particular a dishwasher or washing machine, the water-bearing household appliance including a treatment chamber for treating the articles with a washing liquor and a dosing system for dispensing a dosing-amount of detergent provided by a dosing unit, the method comprising: selecting one of a plurality of different treatment cycles, controlling the water-bearing household appliance to perform the selected treatment cycle, actuating the dosing system to dispense the dosing-amount of detergent according to the selected treatment cycle, detecting a sensor signal of the dispensed dosing-amount of detergent, adjusting the selected treatment cycle as a function of the detected sensor signal, and controlling the water-bearing household appliance to perform the adjusted treatment cycle.
