Abstract (en)

A laundry washing machine comprises a washing tub (2) containing a rotatable drum (3), a detergent compartment (5) in fluid communication with a liquid source, a supply pipe for liquid and detergent to flow into the tub (2), a recirculation circuit (10) for drawing liquid from the bottom of the tub (2) and feed it back into said drum (3), a control and monitoring unit (22) designed to cause liquid and detergent to flow into the tub (2) and to recirculate the mixture for a period of time T by rotating said drum (3) at a speed V. The control and monitoring unit (22) is designed to increase the rotation speed of the drum (3) during the period of time T to a value sufficient to cause the laundry to be at least partially wrung out for a time t shorter than the time T, the control and monitoring unit (17) actuating the recirculation circuit (10) during the period t to spray the interior of the drum (3) with recirculated liquid through a plurality of nozzles (11).
