Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1978143A2] A washing appliance that uses a washing liquid comprises: a washing tank (2) suitable for containing the washing liquid used for the washing treatment; a pipe (3) for draining out the washing liquid and in fluid communication with the washing tank (2); a drainage pump (6) operatively connected to the drainage pipe (3); means (4) for detecting a free surface level of a column of the washing liquid, said column being located immediately upstream of the drainage pump (6) relative to the direction in which the washing liquid flows out of the washing tank (2) during its drainage. The washing appliance 1 comprises means (5), operatively connected to the detecting means (4), for controlling the drainage pump (6), said means (4) detecting a first condition where the water level is less than or equal to a first predetermined level. At least during a predetermined part of the washing cycle, if the drainage pump (6) is in operation, the control means (5) inhibit the operation of the drainage pump (6) upon occurrence of the first condition sensed by the detecting means (4).
