Abstract
A water-using household appliance includes an electrically controllable actuator, a first voltage source designed to provide a switch-on power amount to the actuator, a second voltage source designed to provide a holding power amount to the actuator, and a control unit designed to electrically connect the first voltage source to the actuator in order to switch on the actuator and, after a switch-on interval, to electrically disconnect the first voltage source from the actuator and to electrically connect the second voltage source to the actuator.
