Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2759630A2] The method involves evacuating industrial water over a sewage system in a housing of a washing machine (1). An outlet pump (9) i.e. rotation speed-controllable pump, is driven with respect to rotation speed based on flow of intended fresh water for steam generation and predetermined water level (H0) is reached by which portion of the water in a caustic solution container (3) is carried into voids of the sewage system. A water level sensor (5) is connected with a control device (13) to set predetermined water level (H1) for the steam generation through a heating element (6).
