Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1013217A1] The washing machine comprises a washing vessel (1) in which water vapour is present at the beginning of a drying phase of the washload items accomodated in the same vessel. A compressor (5) is provided to take in the water vapour from the vessel through an inlet (6), to compress the so taken-in water vapour in order to cause it to condense, and to convey it towards an outlet conduit (11). <IMAGE>
