The invention relates to an operating and display device () for a domestic appliance, comprising operating means for setting at least one parameter of an operating process of the domestic appliance, a light conductor part () for conducting light, a plurality of function symbols (), which each symbolize a respective selectable value of the parameter, and a lighting device () for backlighting the function symbols (), by means of which lighting device the function symbol () associated with the presently selected value of the parameter can be optically distinguished from the other function symbols (), wherein the operating means are designed as touch-sensitive operating means and have a touch-sensitive actuation surface (), which is arranged such as to overlap with the function symbols () and thus the value of the parameter associated with one of the function symbols () can be selected by touching the actuation surface () in an overlap area () that overlaps with one of the function symbols ().

Operating and display device for a domestic appliance, and domestic appliance

A door for a dishwasher, in particular for a domestic dishwasher, the door serving for opening and closing the interior of the dishwasher, comprising an inner door which, when the door is closed, is oriented towards the interior and has a surround comprising a top and a bottom periphery, which run essentially horizontally when the door is closed, and two side peripheries, which run essentially vertically when the door is closed, wherein a feed device for dispensing additives is arranged on the inner door, essentially centrally between the side peripheries and in the top third, in particular in the top quarter, of the region between the top and bottom peripheries.

Dishwasher with an improved arrangement of the feed device in the door

A dishwasher includes a washing chamber defining a washing volume in which items to be washed are disposed and a storage container disposed in the washing chamber for retaining items at a predetermined storage location within the washing volume. A spray device is provided that is operable to spray at least one jet of liquid and a dissolving chamber having a chamber floor with at least one aperture is mounted to the storage container. The storage container and the spray device are mounted relative to one another such that the dissolving chamber is wetted with liquid that has been sprayed by the spray device.

The aim of the invention is to provide an electric household appliance, especially a dishwasher, comprising a child-proof lock which has a simple and reliable design and is easy to operate. According to the invention, a means for selectively blocking or slide which can be moved between two positions blocks, in a first position, the movement of the locking member, thereby activating the child-safety feature, and in a second position of the means for selectively blocking, does not block the movement of the locking member, thereby deactivating the child-safety feature.

Electric household appliance having a child safety feature

The invention relates to a domestic appliance having a device for locking a movable closing element, especially a door, cover, flap, or similar on a household appliance, particularly a dishwasher. The locking device includes a closing hook or closing pin disposed on the housing of the household appliance that engages with an engaging section in the closing element during locking and can be made to disengage therefrom during unlocking. The engaging section is formed by a cavity in the closing element.

Household appliance comprising a locking device

A lock for a movable closing element, especially a door, a cover, a flap, or similar on a domestic appliance such as a dishwasher, a washing machine, a refrigerator, or similar, includes a closing hook that can be made to engage with the closing element when being closed and made to disengage therefrom when being opened. The closing hook can be made to engage with a cavity in the closing element.

Lock for a domestic appliance

A seal is provided between the door apron and the lip of the container in a dishwasher, enabling a high sealing performance to be obtained during the entire service life of the dishwasher and providing an esthetic design. The seal can be mounted in a reliable manner without any considerable expenditure of force, recycling of a used seal is possible via appropriate selection of materials and the seal can withstand the dynamic strain put upon the door seal of a dishwasher. The dishwasher is provided with a door seal which is made of an elastic synthetic material, consisting of a fixing area for connection to the edge of a rinsing container, a sealing element for arrangement on the underside of a dishwasher and which is arranged between the fixing area, and a sealing element, wherein the fixing area, sealing element and sealing strip form a single part.

A closing mechanism for a movable closing element, preferably for a door, a cover or a flap on a household appliance, such as a dishwasher, a washing machine, or a refrigerator, the mechanism comprises a carriage that can be displaced between a locking position and an unlocking position and is loaded by a spring force in the direction of the locking position. The carriage carries a closing hook that can be engaged with the closing element for the closing action and/or disengaged therefrom for the opening action. A rotary latch co-operates with the closing element during the closing action. As a result of this co-operation, the rotary latch acts on the carriage in such a way that the carriage is displaced into the locking position during the closing of the closing element by the force of the spring.
