1. A dishwasher comprising: a washing container having item retaining devices for retaining items to be washed with a rinsing solution; a filter system with at least one filter for cleaning the rinsing solution; a comminutor for comminuting material entrained with the rinsing solution such that the comminuted material is reduced in size by the comminutor, the rinsing solution following a flow path in which the rinsing solution enters an upstream side of the comminutor, passes through the comminutor with material of a predetermined size that is entrained with the rinsing solution, such entrained material of a predetermined size being reduced in size by the comminutor, and exits the comminutor on a downstream side thereof to continue flowing downstream of the comminutor; a lye pump; a circulating pump; and a micro filter arranged in the path of flow downstream of the comminutor of the rinsing solution, wherein the micro filter forms, at least in part, a surface area of a centrifuge for centrifuging the rinsing solution, wherein the surface area of the centrifuge widens conically towards an ejection opening, and all flow paths of the rinsing solution to the circulating pump go through the portion of the micro filter that forms the surface area of the centrifuge.
