Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006018382A1] The aim of the invention is to optimize the completeness, uniformity and reproducibility of a wetting process in a program-controlled washing machine, which can be adjusted according to the amount of laundry in a washing drum (2), which is rotationally mounted in a lye container (1) about a non-vertical axis (3) by means of a water supply system (8-10) and by means a control device, said process being temporally controlled by the supply of water into the lye container (1). According to the invention, the wetting process is divided up into a series of phases (Ph1 - Ph3) corresponding to the various amounts (small, medium, large) of laundry (7) that is to be treated. As a result, it is possible to adapt the wetting process according to the number and formation of individual phases in relation to the amount of laundry (7) that is to be treated.
