An automatic dishwashing machine comprises a washing chamber (3) housing a basket (4) for supporting one or more dishes to be washed, the basket (4) being rotatable about a predetermined rotation axis (R), motor means (5) associated with the basket (4) to drive it into rotation around the rotation axis (R), supply means (6) of one or more steam jets in said washing chamber (3). The motor means (5) are adapted to transmit to said basket (4) an oscillating motion with predetermined oscillation amplitude (β), said steam jet supply means (6) comprising one or more nozzles (9) mutually aligned along a substantially axial direction and adapted to direct respective steam jets along a direction inclined with respect to the vertical.

A dishwasher (100) for pot washing, comprising a detector (160) for automatically detecting what type of washing basket (140) has been placed in the dishwasher (100). This enables automatic selection of water pressure and granule control, such that more sensitive crockery and plates are not damaged. The detector can be an inductive sensor (160) that detects an indicating member (141) of the washing basket. The washing basket can comprise one or several indicating members, for enabling a more reliable detection. A method of operating such a dishwasher (100) comprises the steps of automatically detecting what type of washing basket (140) is placed in the dishwasher, and then controlling the water pressure and granule addition according to what washing basket was detected. A system comprises an above dishwasher and an above washing basket.

A spray assembly for a dishwasher of the kind wherein utensils are disposed inside a dishwashing chamber and a generally L-shaped spray assembly is rotated to and fro so that a horizontal leg thereof sweeps across a lower surface of the dishwashing chamber and a vertical leg of the spray assembly sweeps across a side wall of the dishwashing chamber. The spray assembly has channels for conveying detergent and hot water and further has multiple nozzles disposed along the horizontal and vertical legs for directing detergent and hot water on to the utensils inside the dishwashing chamber from multiple different directions as the spray assembly rotates. A fluid inlet coupler at an end of the spray assembly is adapted for coupling to a rotatable hub having duct connectors projecting downwardly substantially parallel to an axis of rotation of the hub and fluidly coupled to respective channels of the spray assembly.

A dish washer and a washing method using the dish washer. As an inner washing tub is rotated in a state where a dish or a cooking utensil is accommodated in a receiving space such that a food side thereof faces an outer circumference of an inner washing tub, food residues are detached from the dish or the cooking utensil by a centrifugal force and thus the dish or the cooking utensil is efficiently washed. The configuration for generating a high-pressure water current is not required, so that it is possible to produce products at low cost, and the configuration is relatively simple, so that it is possible to produce products having various sizes.

The invention relates to a machine that may include an inside space housing a frame which is configured to support at least one accessory to be washed. The frame is connected to a front shaft that is also configured to rotate during the washing of the accessory. The frame may include a cross-member connected to the front shaft, a base formed by two angular supports that include first branches which are coupled to the cross-member, and second branches on which the accessory to be washed rests. The two angular supports of the base have a first adjustment for varying the height thereof in a substantially vertical plane, and the angular supports of the base have a second adjustment for varying the distance between the two angular supports of the base in a substantially horizontal plane.
