Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0761864A1] During its drying cycle the drum (2) of the machine (1)rotates at a speed which is lower than the spin speed but higher than the normal drying speed, so that the washing is distributed round the outside of the drum and does not impede the flow of drying air fed into its centre. The speed of the drum during the drying cycle can be between 65 and 70 rpm, or between 35 and 100 rpm, and the drying programme can include several different speed stages, with the drum rotated in the opposite direction in each new stage.
