Abstract: The invention relates to a nozzle arrangement (6) adapted to supply at least one fluid-phase additive into a storing compartment (4) of a textiles treatment apparatus (2), in particular an exhaust air and/or condenser dryer, a refreshment apparatus or a washing machine having drying function. The nozzle arrangement comprises at least one nozzle (8), each being adapted to feed an additive; and at least one trapping device (10) adapted to trap and/or to remove liquid and/or particles leaving the at least one nozzle (8) or forming at or close to said nozzle. Further, the invention relates to an additive supply arrangement (6, 18, 20, 22, 12) adapted to supply at least one additive, comprising at least one nozzle (8), each being adapted to feed an additive; at least one additive supply source (12); and at least one fluid channel (18, 20) connecting the at least one additive supply source (12) to the at least one nozzle (8); wherein at least one fluid channel comprises at least one capillary element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of treating textiles in a dryer, in particular in an exhaust air and/or a condenser dryer or in a washing machine having a drying unit, wherein the method comprises at least one program sequence of supplying (S) at least one additive into a drum of the dryer, and within the at least one additive supplying sequence (S) changing the drum rotation direction and/or changing the air flow rate and/or air flow or fan rotation direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of supplying steam (38) to a fabrics storage compartment (6) of a treatment apparatus (2), in particular a dryer, a refreshment apparatus or a washing machine having drying function, comprising the steps of: flowing air through the storage compartment (6) until a predefined temperature and/or humidity has been effected; and supplying steam (38) at a predefined flow and/or temperature to the storage compartment (6). The invention also relates to a method of supplying steam (38) to a fabrics storage compartment (6) of a treatment apparatus (2), in particular a dryer, a refreshment apparatus or a washing machine having drying function, wherein the steam flow and/or the temperature of the steam (38) supplied into the storage compartment (6) is set in dependency of at least one process parameter.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for operating a domestic appliance, especially a home dryer (1) or a washing machine, and a domestic appliance (1) which comprises an operating mode for treating textiles with steam. According to the method at least one action for protection of an operator of the domestic appliance (1) is taken when an interruption of an active program for treating textiles with hot steam occurs. The method shall prevent that the operator is hurt by the hot steam generated in the domestic appliance. The domestic appliance (1) comprises a control (40) and a memory (41) storing at least one program for treating textiles with steam, wherein the control (40) is adjusted to execute the inventive method.
