Abstract:
1. A dishwasher, comprising: a washing container; a main control system programmed to conduct a plurality of partial program steps including at least a drying partial program step and a cleaning partial program step; a sorption drying device connected to the washing container in an air-conducting manner and to dry crockery therein, the sorption drying device comprising a variable speed fan and a sorption column that includes a reversibly dehydratable material; and wherein in the drying partial program step the variable speed fan is configured to conduct at least one of air from the washing container and ambient air through the sorption column with reversibly dehydratable material into the washing container, thereby removing moisture from the air during passage therethrough, and wherein in the cleaning partial program step, the variable speed fan is configured to conduct at least one of air from the washing container and ambient air through the sorption column with reversibly dehydratable material into the washing container thereby desorbing the reversibly dehydratable material and warming at least one of the washing container, washing solution, and crockery therein, and wherein the main control system is configured to control and provide different rotational speeds for the variable speed fan, wherein the main control system operates the variable speed fan at a first rotational speed during the drying partial program step, and at a different second rotational speed during the cleaning partial program step.
