Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0542137A1] Described is a method for the treatment of laundry in a laundry washer/drier combination, effective to permit the laundry to be detached from the walls of the drum at the end of the laundering and rinsing operations to thereby avoid possible scorching or yellowing of the laundry. The method comprises the execution of five distinct operative steps after termination of the last rinsing operation and prior to the initiation of the laundry drying operation. In a first step, the drum of the machine is rotated at low speed in alternating directions, followed by a short phase of rotation at the spin-drying speed to be progressively increased throughout this phase. In a second step, the drum is rotated at a given laundering speed in alternating directions. In a third step, the drum is rotated at the spin-drying speed for successive periods, with the rotary speed being progressively increased from one period to the next, and maintained constant during each such period. In a fourth and a fifth step, finally, the drum is rotated in alternating directions at a slow speed which in the fifth step is somewhat higher than in the fourth. <IMAGE>
