Abstract
A domestic appliance includes at least one PEF unit having at least one pair of electrodes and a network part for supplying the electrodes with an operating voltage. The operating voltage is of a suitable magnitude to expose material in a space between the electrodes to an electrical field having a field strength of at least 500 V/mm, and the duration of the exposure is short enough to avoid a breakdown. A water pipe extends through the space. A spacing between the electrodes is a maximum of 3 mm.
