Abstract
A dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity for treatment of items to be washed and an air outlet for blowing out air from a dishwasher cavity. The air outlet is arranged in a lower quarter of a height of the dishwasher and extends as a slotted outlet across at least two thirds of a width of the dishwasher. The air outlet includes a first air-guiding element designed for a targeted removal of air into a region in front of a front face of the dishwasher, with the first air-guiding element applying a downward component to outflowing air.
Claims15
A dishwasher, comprising:
- a dishwasher cavity for treatment of items to be washed;
- a door defining a front face of the dishwasher;
- a panel that is positioned between the door and a floor in an installed position of the dishwasher and that is recessed relative to the door;
- and
- an air outlet for blowing out air from the dishwasher cavity, said air outlet arranged in a lower quarter of a height of the dishwasher and extending as a slotted outlet across at least two thirds of a width of the dishwasher, said air outlet including a first air-guiding element that defines an upper edge of the air outlet and that slopes downward at an angle between about 2 degrees toward the front face and about 10 degrees toward the front face to facilitate a targeted removal of air into a region in front of the front face of the dishwasher, and said air outlet extending over a top edge of the panel such that the air outlet protrudes toward the front face of the dishwasher a distance past the panel, the distance past the panel being less than a distance between a front side of the panel and the front face of the dishwasher.
