Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic dishwasher, in particular a dishwasher for use in the home, with a rinsing container providing a rinsing container, which has a closable by means of a pivotally mounted Spülraumt feed opening, and with a reservoir for the intermediate storage of rinsing liquor.
  • Dishwashers of the type mentioned are well known in the art. They have a rinsing container which provides a rinsing container which, in the intended use, serves to receive items to be cleaned. To feed the washing container is a feed opening, which is closed fluid-tight by means of a pivotally mounted dish door.
  • spray arms For loading of items to be cleaned with rinse liquor within the rinsing container rotatably arranged spray arms. These are supplied with rinsing fluid via a circulation pump. Depending on the configuration of the dishwasher, preferably two or three spray arms are provided.
  • the rinsing fluid cached within the storage container is subject to contamination. This often results in conjunction with an odor nuisance.
  • a filter in the fluidic connection between the washing container and the reservoir. It is the purpose of such a filter to filter out particles, impurities, contaminants and / or the like present in the wash liquor, before the wash liquor is transferred into the storage container for intermediate storage.
  • a dishwashing machine of the type mentioned above is proposed with the invention, which is characterized by a germinating device used in the fluidic connection between washing container and reservoir, wherein the sterilizing device comprises a housing, a UV lamp arranged therein and a with the UV Lamp and the housing has cooperating scraper, wherein the scraper is slidably mounted in the housing.
  • the dishwashing machine proposed by the invention has a sterilizing device.
  • This sterilization device is passed by the rinsing liquor before it flows into the reservoir, whereby it comes to a sterilization of the same.
  • For intermediate storage in the reservoir thus sterilized rinse liquor.
