Abstract (en)

Method for controlling a dishwashing machine, in which by operation of a pumping system water can by lead into a washing compartment, wherein - a predetermined or subsequently determined first amount of water is admitted into the dishwashing machine, - a wetting of the washing compartment, especially loaded dishes, is effected using the first amount of water, wherein a part of the first amount of water remains within the washing compartment, - a water value describing a second amount of water not comprising the remaining part is measured, - by comparison of the water value or a quantity derived from the water value with at least one previously determined reference value based on the first amount of water and a certain surface of the dishes a computed value describing the actual surface and/or the initial wetness of the dishes is determined, - the dishwashing machine is controlled depending on the computed value.
