A method includes starting cleaning program stored in memory of control device of dishwasher by start signal triggered on input device of the dishwasher, detecting current actual value of state variable in the dishwasher by sensor, comparing the detected actual value with reference value of relevant state variable stored in the control device, determining parameter and/or parameter value associated with the parameter based on the comparison, outputting output signal associated with the parameter and/or the parameter value on output device, detecting adjustment signal associated with the output signal, generated in response to input on the input device or on input device associated with the dishwasher, and associated with the parameter and/or the parameter value, and continuing to run the cleaning program with original program configuration, modified program configuration, or suspend strategy for ending the cleaning program, according to the adjustment signal.

A dishwasher incorporates an integrated utensil rinsing device capable of being used when an external door of the dishwasher is in an opened position, and in some instances, when the dishwasher is otherwise off and/or not currently running a wash cycle. In some instances, for example, a utensil rinsing device may be supported on an interior side of an external door and may include a platform configured to rinse beverage containers by actuating a rinse valve when a rim of a beverage container is pressed against the platform.

The present disclosure discloses a sequential dishwasher, and relates to the technical field of sequential dishwashers and automatic cleaning methods. The sequential dishwasher includes a casing to the bottom of which a drainage pipe is connected, a dish cleaning mechanism, arranged in the casing; a rotary drive mechanism, arranged below the dish cleaning mechanism; a liquid supply mechanism, arranged in the casing and used for providing a detergent or tap water for cleaning of two sides of a dish in a spraying manner; and a control system, configured to control and connect the dish cleaning mechanism, the rotary drive mechanism, and the liquid supply mechanism for a clamping drive, a rotary drive, and a liquid supply cleaning drive during dish cleaning. The present disclosure further provides an automatic cleaning method for dishes. The present disclosure may effectively save detergent consumption and water consumption of cleaning while realizing rapid cleaning of the single dish, and when facing cleaning of a small number of dishes, may complete the automatic cleaning of the dishes more efficiently with more energy saved.

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for dishwasher automatic prescrapping. A method includes monitoring a dishwasher to sense placement of dishware within the dishwasher. Upon sensing placement of the dishware, the method includes circulating, using wash arms of the dishwasher, wash water over the dishware. Using a collection tray, the wash water and soil are collected from the dishware. The collection tray includes a slope configured to direct the wash water and the soil to an external separator. The method further includes automatically separating, within the external separator, the soil from the wash water. The external separator provides removal access of the separated soil. The method also includes directing, by the external separator, the separated wash water to a wash sump tank for recirculation in the dishwasher for subsequent wash cycles.
