Abstract

A dishwasher includes a pump facility to selectively supply washing liquor to first and second spray apparatuses, an intensive spray apparatus assigned to the first or second spray apparatus and brought into an activated or deactivated state by a switch valve, and a control apparatus for carrying out a washing program and for detecting a first pump flow while the first spray apparatus is supplied with washing liquor and detecting a second pump flow while the second spray apparatus is supplied with washing liquor, so as to form a current differential value as a function of the first and second pump flows and to ascertain a current switch state of the intensive spray apparatus as a function of the current differential value, a number of stored earlier differential values and a predetermined class differential value. The control apparatus adapts the washing program as a function of the current switch state.
