Embodiment Construction

[0073] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of components relevant to the present situation of one embodiment of a washing machine in which the method described above can be implemented. Other embodiments are also conceivable. figure 1 The washing machine of the embodiment shown in has an outer tub 1 in which a drum 2 can be rotatably installed and operated by a driving motor 14 . For ergonomic reasons, the axis of rotation 3 of the drum 2 is oriented upwards towards the front at a small angle (eg 13°) relative to the horizontal, so that the interior of the drum 2 can be accessed and observed more easily. This arrangement together with the specially shaped agitator blades 4 on the inner surface of the drum shell and the scooping device 5 for the wash solution 6 also ensures enhanced penetration of the laundry 7 by the wash solution which is free of fabric softening. the first liquid containing fabric softener or the second liquid containing fabric softener.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for softening laundry (7) in a washing machine, using fabric softener, said washing machine comprising a program control (12) for controlling a program sequence, a drum (2) rotatably mounted in an outer tub (1), which drum accommodates the laundry (7), a water supply system (8, 9, 10), a fabric softener reservoir (18), a lye draining system having a pump (16) arranged on the bottom of the outer tub (1), and a drive motor (14) for the drum (2). The fabric softener cycle according to the invention comprises steps (a) to (e), namely (a) a first liquid that contains no fabric softener is passed into the drum (2) in a quantity M1; (b) the laundry (7) is rinsed with this liquid; (c) a share M2 < M1 of the first liquid is pumped off; (d) a second liquid that contains fabric softener is passed from the fabric softener reservoir (18) into the drum (2); and (e) the laundry (7) is treated with fabric softener. The invention further relates to a washing machine suitable for carrying out said method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for softening laundry using a fabric softener in a washing machine, and to a washing machine particularly suitable for carrying out the method. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for treating laundry with a fabric softener in a washing machine having a program controller for controlling program sequences, a drum rotatably mounted in an outer tub, a water inlet system , a fabric softener reservoir, a drainage system including a pump arranged on the bottom of the tub, and a drive motor for the drum, and the invention also relates to a washing machine particularly suitable for carrying out the method. Background technique [0002] In a washing program, the main wash is usually followed by at least one rinse in order to remove the washing solution laden with dirt and cleaning agents. Typically, water is used for this purpose. The more water used for rinsing and / or the more rinsing is done, t...
