Washing Appliance And Methods Of Operating

View page
US Patent:
20120311794, Dec 13, 2012
Filed:
Jun 7, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/154575
Inventors:
Stephen Edward Hettinger - Louisville KY, US
Mark Anthony Didat - Floyds Knobs IN, US
David Scott Dunn - Louisville KY, US
International Classification:
D06F 39/02
D06F 39/08
US Classification:
8137, 68 1205
Abstract:
An appliance for washing objects is configured to dispense a first fluid, or hot wash fluid, into a wash zone to at least a first level. The appliance is further configured to dispense a second fluid into the wash zone, wherein the first fluid and the second fluid form a fluid mixture that reaches a fill level and has a mixture temperature that is less than the temperature of the first fluid. In one embodiment, the first level is less than the fill level and the appliance, in response to the first level being reached, implements a secondary operation that facilitates cleaning of objects that are positioned in the wash zone.
