OPERATION PRINCIPLE

Traditional washing Operation

1 Detergent hatch
2 Hose between detergent dispenser and outer drum
3 Outer drum
4 Inner drum

- The partides of soiling substances which are freed from the textile fibres by the chemical action of the detergent
at the temperature of the washing water are re-moved by the flow of water through the fibres.

- The reversing rotation ofthe drum causes mechamcal interaction between the parts ofthe load and the
detergent solution which separates the partides from the textlies.

- The water level is at such a height that the load is successively lifted from the solution by the ridges formed
in the inner drum and then falls back into the solution.

- The Circulation ofthe solution during the rotation ofthe drum prevents the accumulation of detergent in the
rubber bottom.
