Abstract (en)

A dishwasher includes a washing tank with a first opening A for taking out the moist air by means of a fan B and a second opening F for the intake of ambient air, as well as a drain pump G which, through a drainage duct H connected to the drain of an adjacent sink, provides the draining of the washing water and a duct L for discharging the moist air which duct extends from fan B to outside the machine body. The discharge duct L is preferably provided at its external end with a substantially Y-shaped connector M and provided with an electric valve C in order to make ducts H and L converge so as to use a same connection hole to the sink drain, the electric valve C being opened only during the drying step and kept closed for the rest of the time in order to prevent possible backflows of water in duct L either coming from the sink drain or from the drainage duct H of the dishwasher. <IMAGE>
