Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1188409A2] The invention concerns a method for the dosed supply of clear rinse to the clear rinse bath in the tub of a dishwasher during the clear rinse cycle, whereby an optical sensor monitors the foam concentration of the clear rinse bath. An overdose of clear rinse is avoided during the clear rinse cycle according to the invention in that a setpoint is given for the foam concentration in the clear rinse bath for the dosed supply of clear rinse, whereby the actual value of the foam concentration in the clear rinse bath measured by the optical sensor during the clear rinse cycle is compared with the given setpoint, and whereby clear rinse is supplied to the clear rinse bath continuously or at intervals until the measured actual value corresponds to the given setpoint.
