Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1354997A1] The washing method has the washing program divided into successive steps, with intermediate pauses between individual rotation cycles in which the drive motor for the rotary washing drum is operated at different revs lying between a lower rev value and an upper rev value selected in dependence on the measured loading of the washing machine drum. The rev-time profile for each rotation cycle may have a trapezoidal waveform.
