Abstract (en)

Method for charging a washing liquid in a laundry washing machine (1) comprising a washing compartment (2) housing a rotatable drum (3). The method comprises the step of implementing a first iterative procedure comprising, in the following temporal order, at least the following steps: - charging a washing liquid into the drum (3), the washing liquid charged into the drum (3) being at least partly absorbed by laundry in the drum (3); washing liquid charged inside the drum (3) and not absorbed by the laundry, if any, flows through a perforated side wall (34) of the drum (3) in a zone (20) of the washing compartment (2) outside the drum (3); - checking with the level gauge (5) that a first configuration has been reached where, as compared to a predetermined reference level, there is a predetermined increment of the level of the liquid in the washing compartment (2) on account of the outflow from the drum (3) of the liquid not absorbed by the laundry; a negative result for this check causing the first procedure to be repeated until the check returns a positive result.
