Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a dishwasher having a double-door arrangement comprising a first door openable by vertical translation from a lower closed position to an upper open position and a second door openable by pivoting outwards around a pivot point arranged at a lower end thereof. The first door and the second door are interconnected by a linkage arranged to transfer an opening force applied to the second door to an opening force applied to the first door and the linkage comprises a first segment extending from the second door and a second segment extending between a distal end of the first segment and the first door. In particular, the linkage comprises a releasable section, such that the second door may be disengaged from the first door thus allowing for the second door to pivot beyond a horizontal position in an opening direction.
