Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0943282A2] The rpm of the pump motor is adjustable, so that the pressure of the rinsing liquid is controllable. The strength of the spray jets (15,16,21) from a top and bottom spray arm (14,20) and so the cleaning effect for crockery parts located in the dishwasher depend on the pressure of the rinsing liquid.
