(54)	A screen filter for a liquid-conducting device, in particular a dishwashing machine

(57) Household dishwashing machine with a screen filter (10) that is designed relatively flat with flow holes (17), separating the washing space from a drainage shaft and lying at the bottom of the washing space, sealing the perimeter. The screen fiber (10) is designed and manufactured as a plastic-injection mould part provided with an edge (14/18) that protrudes vertically on the underside (13) as a sealing lip; in doing so a screen filter (10) is created that can be manufactured cost-effectively provides an optimal sealing effect at the edge (14/18) and largely excludes the influence of material fatigue.
