The invention relates to a method and to a device for carrying out the method for rinsing in a dish washer with a rinse water circuit, in which the rinse water is evacuated from the sump of the wash chamber by means of a circulating pump and, passing through a filter, is supplied to the spray devices in the wash chamber, the filter being cleaned in counterflow to the rinse water by means of introduced cleaning water. During the entire rinsing procedure the filter is cleaned in counterflow, the dirt particles in the filter being kept in suspension. The cleaning water is supplied to the rinse water circuit and preferably removed therefrom.

Method of rinsing in a dishwasher and device for carrying out the method

The invention relates to a device for sealing the transitional region between a rotatably mounted spraying arm of a dishwashing machine and its stationary bearing member by means of a sealing element, which is disposed therebetween and is impinged by the rinsing water flowing therethrough. The sealing and sliding friction functions are separated through the inclusion of a slip ring in the transitional region and this achieves significant sealing with a long service life.
