Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0521815A1] In a dishwasher (1) with a washing compartment (3) which can be closed by means of an appliance door (2), a vent (4) or the like for the dishwasher container in the appliance door (2), which vent connects the washing compartment to the ambient air, and a mixing chamber (5) for removal of the moist air from the washing compartment when the dishes are being dried, a separate fresh air duct (6) opens out into the mixing chamber (5). A fan (7), which is arranged downstream of the fresh air duct (6) and the vent (4) for the dishwasher container, is provided for transport of the mixing air. The mixing chamber (5) can be set to a modifiable mixing ratio of the fed-in fresh air to the moist air sucked from the washing compartment, while the volumetric flow rate of mixing air remains constant. By these measures, optimum removal of vapour from the washing container in order to improve drying of the dishes, with a shorter program running time and without the visible formation of vapour, is achieved for a small structural outlay and a very small space requirement. <IMAGE>
