(54) | Door arrangement in dishwasher, and method for operating dishwasher having such arrangement |
(57) 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.
