Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2381029A1] The method involves examining, whether a washing tub (2) has an initial state that is carried out on the basis of plausibility check of detected values of a pressure sensor (17b). A predetermined amount of water is inserted in the washing tub such that it is placed a heating body (7) in the water, where a drum (3) is not affected by water. Steam is generated by activating the heating body. An independent claim is also included for a washing machine, which has a motor.
