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.
Dishwasher for pot washing comprising:
Method of operating a dishwasher for pot washing, comprising a rotatable drive adapted to rotate a basket carrier, on which a basket is placed, activating a detector, gathering a signal from the detector in response to the basket carrier being rotated relative to the detector, and analyzing the detected signal generated by means of an indicating member of the basket to indicate whether the basket is the pot washing basket or the standard washing basket of the basket, automatically detecting if the basket is a pot-washing basket or a standard washing basket, and, if a pot-washing basket is detected, operating the dishwasher at high water pressure and controlling the addition of granules to the water by means of a granule valve, otherwise operating the dishwasher at low water pressure and disabling granule operation.
