    摘要: A washing machine in the form of a water-guiding domestic appliance has a water tank with a drum as treatment compartment therein, wherein the water tank has an outflow at the bottom. The washing machine also has a pump, a filter between the outflow and the pump and a water-guiding system with water lines, valves, the pump and the filter. A flexible or bendable flex line adjoins the outflow, which line extends at an angle of between 15° and 0° to the vertical from the outflow at the bottom, wherein a substantially horizontally extending telescopic line of variable length, which leads to the filter, adjoins the flex line. A drain valve, which may be configured as an actively closable valve or as a nonreturn valve, is arranged between the telescopic line and the filter. The filter is in turn arranged at a short distance downstream of the drain valve.

    摘要: A hob comprises a hob plate, heating devices therebelow and a flat, two-dimensional carrier plate for the heating devices which runs parallel to the hob plate and has an upper face, said carrier plate bearing the heating devices on said upper face and fixedly holding said heating devices in position. Holding means are provided on the upper face of the carrier plate for each heating device. Each heating device has at least one laterally protruding holding tab, wherein each holding tab has latching means and the holding means have counter latching means for a latching connection with these latching means. The latching connection has clearance in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the carrier plate. The holding means are fastened to the upper face of the carrier plate with a releasable fastening in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the carrier plate and with a positive connection in the direction parallel to the surface of the carrier plate, wherein the holding tab runs above the carrier plate.

    摘要: A method for operating an induction hob (100), wherein the induction hob (100) comprises: an inverter (1), which is supplied with a supply voltage (US), at least one capacitor (2, 3), and an induction heating coil (4), wherein the at least one capacitor (2, 3) and the induction heating coil (4) are interconnected such that they constitute an oscillating circuit (5), and wherein the inverter (1) is configured to generate a pulse-width modulated excitation voltage (UA) for the oscillating circuit (5) from the supply voltage (US), wherein the method comprises the following steps: a) generation of the pulse-width modulated excitation voltage (UA) having a predefined voltage characteristic, b) measurement of a resulting oscillating circuit current (iS), particularly by means of the induction heating coil (4), c) determination of electrical oscillating circuit parameters, according to the voltage characteristic of the pulse-width modulated excitation voltage (UA) and the measured oscillating circuit current (iS), d) n-times repetition of steps a) to c) using a different voltage characteristic of the excitation voltage (UA) for the determination of electrical voltage characteristic-dependent oscillating circuit parameters, and e) determination of operating variables of the induction hob (100) from voltage characteristic-dependent electrical oscillating circuit parameters.

    摘要: A method for controlling an induction coil on an induction hob involves a power generation for a primary power on the induction coil for power transmission to an electrical consumer put onto a cover above the induction coil, which consumer has a receiver coil and an electrical load connected thereto, being adjusted. The induction coil forms a primary-side resonant circuit with a capacitance connected in series, and the induction coil and the receiver coil are coupled in the style of a transformer such that a current in the induction coil induces a voltage in the receiver coil with a flow of current and generation of the secondary power in the load of the electrical consumer. The control means can attempt to adjust the desired secondary power to a steady state using maximum modulation of the voltage effectively applied to the primary-side resonant circuit, as second manipulated variable. The primary power is decreased in a first step by virtue of the voltage effectively applied to the primary-side resonant circuit, as second manipulated variable, being decreased before the operating frequency as first manipulated variable is increased in a second, subsequent step.

    摘要: In a method for operating a cooktop having a cooktop plate and adjacent heating means arranged thereunder along a straight line, and a pan detection means for detecting a relative coverage of each heating means by cooking vessels placed thereover, it is detected in a preceding step over which of the heating means a cooking vessel has been placed and thus that a relative coverage is present. In a subsequent step, the pan detection means is used to detect how great is the relative coverage of each covered heating means, and from this result and a comparison of these results for each heating means a case analysis is performed into one of several cases. For a 1st case, in which it is detected for the three heating means arranged along the straight line, that the relative coverage of the middle heating means is less than the relative coverage of the other two adjacent heating means, it is determined that no cooking vessel has been placed over the three heating means which contiguously covers all three heating means, but rather that at least two cooking vessels have been placed over the three heating means.

    摘要: A heating device in the form of a radiant heating device for a hob has a sheet-like support with a support top side, with at least one heating element on the support top side, which heating element is highly corrugated and runs in tracks in a laying pattern. The heating element has at least two heating conductor strips which each have lateral sides and a top edge and a bottom edge. These at least two heating conductor strips are placed together or placed on one another by way of their mutually facing lateral sides and are at least partially in contact. The at least two heating conductor strips are connected to one another in a fixed and non-detachable manner, advantageously before corrugation.
