Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0774230A2] A washing cycle for a washing machine comprises a step of cleaning (PF) of filtering means (5) provided for filtering the washing water during said cycle (A, B), said step of cleaning (PF) being executed at the end of said washing cycle (A, B) and comprising at least one substep (CS) during which both a discharge pump (13) and valve means (8) for supplying clean water are activated simultaneously. The step of cleaning (PF) ends with said substep (CS), and at the end of said substep (CS) of the step of cleaning (PF) both the discharge pump (13) and said means (8) for supplying clean water are disactivated, so that part of the clean water loaded up during said substep (CS) of the step of cleaning (PF) is not discharged and remains in the washing tank (2) of the washing machine to be reused in a subsequent washing cycle. <IMAGE>
