Said dishwasher further comprises a water container (12) that is connected to the washing container (2) in a heat-conductive manner for storing water (W), in particular fresh water (FW), a valve array (13, 28) that can be controlled by way of the control device (8) for filling the washing container (2) with water (W), in particular with fresh water (FW), a drain pump (19) that can be controlled by the control device (8) for pumping waste water (AW) from the washing container (2) via a drain pipe (20), which passes through the water container (12). The dishwashing program (SP) is configured such that at the end of a rinsing cycle (KS), a final pumping sequence (SPS) is provided, comprising a dishwater pumpout step (SAS) for pumping out as wastewater (AW) dishwater (S) used during the rinsing cycle (KS) for acting upon dishes to be washed using the drain pump (19), a cold-water filling step (KE) for introducing a cold water volume into the washing container (2) by means of the valve array (13, 28), and a cold-water pumpout step (KA) for pumping out as waste water (AW) the cold water volume introduced during the cold-water filling step (KE) by means of the drain pump (19).
