Автор: Gyeong Ho Moon, Nung Seo Park
Принадлежит: LG ELECTRONICS INC

In the dishwasher and the control method therefor of the present invention, the turbidity of washing water is measured and, if it is decided that the level of dirtiness of the tableware is low, then the time over which a heater operates during the washing routine is reduced and, instead, the time over which the heater operates during the rinsing routine is increased. This is advantageous in that it can improve the performance of the drying which is carried out after the rinsing routine. Further, if it is decided that the level of dirtiness of the tableware is high, then the time over which the heater operates during the washing routine is increased and the time over which the heater operates during the rinsing routine is reduced. This is advantageous in that the washing performance can be improved while the overall heater operating time can be maintained.

A dishwasher includes a wash container, in which a rack for holding items to be washed and/or dried is disposed. At least two lateral guide rails are disposed in the wash container for supporting the rack and allowing the rack to be pulled out of the wash container. Each guide rail includes a guide element disposed in a guide path of the guide rail in a longitudinally movable manner. Provided on the guide rail is a stop which limits a longitudinal movement of the guide element along the guide rail. The stop projects in a first position into the guide path, thereby inhibiting a pull-out movement of the rack. When acted upon in opposition to a pull-out direction, the stop is shiftable out of the guide path into a second position and, when acted upon in the pull-out direction of the rack, the stop is fixed in the guide path.

A batch ware washing machine and/or related method of washing wares. The machine includes a moveable door which partially encloses a steam cavity. When the door is in the up or open position, hot moist air may be forcibly pulled from the steam cavity and into an exhaust plenum via an air inlet port that is strategically positioned above the top wall of the door when the door is in the closed position, but below the top wall when the door is in the open position. A controller causes the air to be forcibly pulled through the plenum for a predetermined exhaust time period, such as one minute, and then automatically stops the forced air exhaust movement. The exhaust plenum may be ducted directly to the outside of the surrounding building. The air conditioning load on the HVAC units serving the kitchen are reduced, thereby reducing energy consumption.
