The invention relates substantially to a monitoring apparatus for a dishwasher, in which at least a subregion of the machine door (T) is composed of a material with electrically variable transparency, for example so-called LC (liquid crystal) glass, wherein the material with electrically variable transparency is actuated such that it appears opaque at least when the machine is in the switched-off state and appears transparent at least during the washing process and therefore firstly direct visual monitoring of the washing process is possible, and, secondly, the dirty dishes (G) which are contained in the machine and possibly further technical devices which are to be monitored are not visible when said machine is in the switched-off state. |
