Abstract (en)
A laundry washing machine comprises a tub (5), a washing liquid collector receptacle (8) with a heater element (9) disposed therein, and a number of containers (111-117) associated to the entrainment ridges (13) of the drum (6) and adapted to pick up amounts of the washing liquid at the lower portion of the tub (5) for lifting the liquid to a maximum height with respect to the laundry by rotation of the drum, and for subsequently releasing the liquid to drop onto the laundry. The liquid subsequently returns to the tub (5) so that the washing of the laundry is accomplished by repeated recirculation of the washing liquid between the tub (5) and the drum (6). The present laundry washing machine is capable of carrying out "intensive" washing programmes with normal or reduced washing liquid levels in the tub (5), as well as "delicate" washing programmes with normal liquid levels in the tub.
