Abstract (en)

The washing machine comprises a conduit (9) in which the water is caused to circulate in a heat-exchange relation with heating means (11). In correspondence of a portion (12) of the conduit (9), in which there are provided said heating means (11), the same conduit features a reduced passage cross-section area, in such a manner as to cause the flow velocity of the water therethrough to increase and the deposit of dirt and limestone particles suspended in the water to be diminished. <IMAGE>
