Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2348151A1] The method involves activating a circulating device until the level of washing liquid reaches a lower limit (Niv2). A drum is rotated with speed (n2) that is higher than another speed (n1) and lies above laying-on rotational speed. A tumbling action is caused with drive-out of the washing liquid from laundry and an increase in the level of the washing liquid to an upper limit (Niv3). The drum is rotated with the latter speed until the level exceeds the lower limit. The circulating device is continuously activated when the drum is rotated. An independent claim is also included for a washing machine with a tub for receiving washing liquids for treatment of laundry.
