Abstract (en)

A heating procedure for a washer/drier consists of heating the washing during the wash and/or rinse cycle by injecting hot air, steam or water produced by the drier heater (9). The machine has a single heater unit, located in its drying circuit (5) and fed with electricity during the wash and/or rinse and drying cycles. The single air intake (6) for the heater unit is situated above the water level in the machine's drum (3) to allow the water to be heated by means of hot air during the wash and/or rinse cycles. The drying circuit outlet duct (7) ends at the axis of the drum, and the water recirculation circuit is connected to the drying circuit upstream of the heater.
