Abstract
A method for operating a dishwasher having a sorption drying device includes performing a desorption process using the sorption drying device according to a selected cleaning cycle of the dishwasher. The desorption process is capable of releasing moisture.
Claims18
A method for operating a dishwasher having a liquid heater and a sorption drying device including a desorption heater, the method comprising:
- heating, using the liquid, heater, wash liquid to be circulated in a washing chamber of the dishwasher,
- performing a desorption process using the sorption drying device according to a selected type of cleaning cycle of the dishwasher, the desorption process being capable of releasing moisture,
- wherein a cleaning cycle comprises a plurality of program steps including cleaning, rinsing, and drying, and
- wherein the amount of heat input by the desorption heater during the desorption process is selected according to the selected type of cleaning cycle of the dishwasher.
