METHODS FOR DISPENSING A TREATING CHEMISTRY IN A DISHWASHER

摘要

A dishwasher has a treating chamber for receiving dishes for treatment according to an automatic cycle of operation and a dispensing system for storing and dispensing a treating chemistry to the treating chamber during the cycle of operation. The dishwasher may dispense a treating chemistry when a temperature of a liquid in the treating chamber satisfies a predetermined temperature threshold. The temperature of the liquid may be maintained to satisfy the predetermined temperature threshold for a predetermined period of time based on the treating chemistry.

1. A method for treating dishes in a dishwasher having a treating chamber for receiving the dishes for treatment according to an automatic cycle of operation, the method comprising:
supplying liquid to the treating chamber; sensing a temperature of the liquid; comparing the sensed temperature of the liquid to an enzymatic temperature threshold; adjusting the temperature of the liquid toward the enzymatic temperature threshold when the comparison indicates the sensed temperature does not satisfy the enzymatic temperature threshold; dispensing an enzyme into the liquid when the comparison indicates the sensed temperature satisfies the enzymatic temperature threshold; and maintaining the temperature of the liquid to satisfy the enzymatic temperature threshold.
