Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03051172A1] The aim of the invention is to provide a device and method which enable objects arranged in a crockery basket and having different degrees of dirtiness to be cleaned in an optimum manner, according to the degree of dirtiness. To this end, the inventive device for washing objects to be washed in a dishwasher having at least one crockery basket (1) is characterised in that it comprises a control unit (4) for controlling defined regions of a spray device (2a - 2d) during the washing process, said spray device being integrated into at least one crockery basket (1); and the inventive method for washing objects to be washed in a dishwasher comprising at least one crockery basket (1) is characterised in that washing liquid from defined regions of the spray device (2a - 2d) arranged below the crockery basket (1) essentially acts upon the directly above region of the crockery basket in a targeted manner due to a sealer (3) which is respectively associated with said defined regions, each defined region being controlled by means of a control unit (4).

[origin: WO03051172A1] The washing device has a control (4) for controlling different elements of a spray device (2a-2d) positioned below a crockery basket (1), during the washing process, for directing a cleaning spray onto respective regions of the crockery basket in a targeted mode, with a sealing device (3) separating the different regions from one another.
