Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2754744A1] A washing machine includes: a water tub for storing washing water; a rotary tub located so as to be rotatable in the water tub and having a front end provided with an opening; a motor for driving the rotary tub; a circulating water channel for circulating the washing water in the water tub to the rotary tub; a pump for transferring the washing water in the water tub to the circulating water channel; a nozzle channel having a substantially circular shape, being in communication with the circulating water channel, and provided outside a peripheral edge of the opening of the rotary tub; a plurality of nozzles provided on the nozzle channel, for jetting the washing water transferred by the pump toward an inside of the rotary tub; and a controller for driving the motor and the pump to execute a washing process. The washing process includes a first rotation step of rotating at a speed that does not allow a washing target in the rotary tub to be stuck to an inner peripheral wall of the rotary tub, and a second rotation step of rotating at a speed that allows the washing target in the rotary tub to be stuck to the inner peripheral wall of the rotary tub. The controller drives the pump in the second rotation step, to supply the washing water to the washing target stuck to the inner peripheral wall of the rotary tub.
