Abstract: A water-carrying household appliance is provided that has a housing; a treatment chamber; and an automatic dosing system within the housing. The automatic dosing system has a reservoir for a liquid treatment agent and a delivery pump within the reservoir. The household appliance further includes a controller to control the automatic dosing system.

Abstract: In a method for applying a treatment composition to a laundry item in a laundry treatment device having a rotatably mounted drum and a water supply, water is added to the laundry item in a first rotation step of the drum to set a pre-determined residual moisture content. A treatment composition is sprayed onto the laundry item with the aid of the water supply in a second rotation step of the drum, when the drum is rotated at a rotary speed which is equal to or greater than a centrifugal adhesion rotary speed.

Abstract: A system for automatically metering liquid or paste-like auxiliary washing agents stored in reservoirs for automatically controlled washing machines. It has a central fluid line disposed in a housing bottom and a plurality of nozzles disposed in the housing bottom on a circular line extending concentrically to the axis of a rotor. The nozzles can be connected individually to the outlet by a connecting line inside the motor-drivable rotor. In the connection to the connecting line, seals are provided. Due to a force continually axially acting on the rotor in the direction of the housing bottom, said rotor presses the seals until the contact surfaces of the rotor and the housing bottom substantially form a common plane.

Abstract: A drum-type washing machine that includes a program controller, a drum rotatably mounted in a detergent solution tub, a detergent solution discharge system disposed at a base of the detergent solution tub having a detergent solution drain pump, a sensor for determining a foam level and/or a negative time gradient of a liquid/air mixture contained in the detergent solution tub, a drive motor for the drum that adjusts a rotation of the drum to eliminate foam in the drum-type washing machine, and a water supply system that adds a small volume of water continuously or discontinuously if foam is detected by the sensor during the run-up to spin speed of the drum with the detergent solution drain pump switched on continuously or discontinuously.

Abstract: An automatically controlled washing machine having a detergent dispensing facility in an upper machine space of the washing machine, wherein the detergent dispensing facility has at least one chamber for hand-dosed addition of a portion of a powder detergent or a liquid detergent and a supply channel that supplies fresh water to the at least one chamber. At least one storage container in the upper machine space stores a liquid or gel-type detergent aid, which is automatically dosed by an automatic dosing facility assigned to the at least one storage container. The automatic dosing facility has a transfer line to supply a dose of the liquid or gel-type detergent aid to the washing machine tub. The supply channel has a bypass with an inlet side that is fluidly connected to the supply channel and an outlet side that is fluidly connected to the transfer line.

Abstract: An automatically controlled washing machine having a detergent dispensing unit that is arranged in an upper machine space of the washing machine. A drawer is arranged in the detergent dispensing unit and accessible from the front panel of the washing machine. The drawer has at least one chamber for hand-metered addition of washing powder or washing liquid. At least one storage unit in the upper machine space stores liquid or gel-like washing aid. A receptacle unit of the storage unit receives a transportable storage container that contains the liquid or gel-like washing aid and a metering unit automatically meters the liquid or gel-like washing aid. The metering unit is connected to the receptacle unit by a fluid connection and has an outlet opening that opens into a stationary chamber of the detergent dispensing unit.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating laundry as the items to be washed includes a container for the items to be washed. The container is in fluid communication with a water supply system. Connected to the water supply system is a desalination apparatus for producing desalinated water having a conductivity of less than 200 ?S/cm, with the desalination apparatus being constructed as an ion exchanger. A reservoir is connected to the desalination apparatus for storing water with a higher salt concentration for later use.
