1. A dish washing machine including a washing tub with a spraying device in the tub fitted with spraying openings supplied with washing liquid from a pump coupled thereto for spraying the washing liquid into the tub, comprising:
a control element actuatable for switching on said pump and supplying said washing liquid when said tub is open and accessible; and
a sensor for detecting said tub open position and for triggering throttling of the flow rate of said washing liquid through said spraying openings to a reduced flow rate that is greater than a complete absence of flow of said washing liquid through said spraying openings yet lesser than the respective flow rate of said washing liquid immediately prior to said throttling of the flow rate of said washing liquid to thereby reduce said flow rate when said tub is accessible.
