Abstract

See full text

A fill level control system for an article cleaning apparatus is provided. The fill level control system uses a sensor array to monitor a plurality of fill level points within, for example, a dishwasher. The level of water for each wash phase is monitored as a function of its height above the sump of an article cleaning apparatus, and the liquid used in the washing apparatus is introduced as a function of signals produced giving the level of liquid. The fill level control system further includes a low level sensor that turns the pumping system for the article cleaning apparatus off when the sump portion has been completely emptied. A further aspect of the fill level control system is an optional temperature control sensor, integrated with the liquid level sensors, to provide signals for modifying the temperature within the article cleaning apparatus.
