Abstract
A dishwasher includes a wash cabinet having a bottom, two opposite side walls, an upper and a rear wall and an opening that normally is covered by a front door. The dishwasher is provided with at least one lower basket for the dish being cleaned, said basket being movable between a first position inside the cabinet and a second position mainly outside the cabinet. The dishwasher is at each side of the opening provided with a support arranged to move mainly vertically in or close to the side walls for raising the lower basket from a lower to an upper position and vice versa. The supports are articulated by a lifting mechanism arranged to move the supports from an inactive position out of engagement with the lower basket to an active position in which they are in engagement with the lower basket.
