摘要

A front-loading dishwashing machine (1) has a washing chamber (2) and baskets (3, 4). The dishes are loaded through a front aperture (5) with a hinged watertight hatch door (6). The door (6) closing mechanism (7) translates from initial closed presentation to a closed watertight operating position. The closing mechanism incorporates an electrically controlled mechanism shifts the door from the initial closed presentation to a closed watertight operating position and vice versa.
