Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2426245A1] A vibrating type cylindrical tub (2) is movably mounted at inner side of housing (4) accommodated in the washing machine (1). An electrically driven drum (3) is rotatably mounted horizontally or inclined to the tub, for receiving to-be-washed cloth (8) through a container opening (9). Steam generated by activation of a steam generating unit (12) is passed to the drum. Predetermined condition of to-be-washed clothes and textile type-dependent rotation speed of drum are selected, such that that the rotational speed of drum is lower than the settling speed. An independent claim is included for washing machine.
