    摘要: A laundry washing machine having a cabinet, a washing drum, a washing tub, and a dispenser having a first region with an open top configured to receive a unit dose package comprising treating agent incorporated into a water-soluble pouch. The first region has walls that converge towards a dispenser outlet that is dimensioned to hold the package within a predefined zone when the unit dose package is unbroken. A valve is provided and connected to a source of pressurized water. A water conveying line connects the valve to one or more outlets via a water-tight line, such that the outlets are configured to direct a respective pressurized flow of water therethrough. At least one of the outlets is configured to direct a respective pressurized flow of water into the first region towards the predefined zone.

    摘要: A laundry washing machine (1) has an outer casing (2) and, inside the outer casing (2), a washing tub (3), a detergent dispensing assembly (9) structured for supplying detergent into the washing tub (3), and a fresh-water supply circuit (10) structured for selectively channeling a flow of fresh water from the water mains towards the detergent dispensing assembly (9) and/or the washing tub (3). A water softening device (12) is arranged/located along the fresh-water supply circuit (10) and is structured for reducing the hardness degree of the fresh water channeled to the detergent dispensing assembly (9) and/or the washing tub (3). The water softening device (12) being internally provided with a given amount of water softening agent able to reduce the hardens degree of the fresh water flowing through the same water softening device (12), and with a given amount of consumable regeneration agent, able to regenerate the water softening function of the water softening agent. The laundry washing machine (1) further has an appliance control panel (11) located on a front wall (2a) of the casing (2), close to a worktop (2b) of the casing (2), and structured for allowing the user to manually select the desired washing-cycle. The water softening device (12) being provided with a loading inlet or mouth (33a, 52) structured for allowing the user to load a regeneration agent inside the same internal water softening device (12) and arranged/located inside the casing (2) so that its loading inlet or mouth (33a, 52) is exposed or exposable to the outside on said worktop (2b) of the casing (2), substantially behind the appliance control panel (11).

    摘要: A laundry washing machine (1) includes an outer casing (2), a washing tub which is arranged inside the casing (2), a rotatable drum which is structured for housing the laundry to be washed, a detergent dispensing assembly (5), a main fresh-water supply circuit, and an appliance control panel (6) located on the front wall (3) of the casing (2). The laundry washing machine (1) is furthermore provided with an auxiliary, manually-operated, garment cleaning assembly (15) that includes an electrically-powered, hand-held, garment stain-removal tool (16). The appliance control panel (6) is arranged on the front side of a drawer-like supporting structure (13) which is inserted in an extractable manner into a corresponding drawer housing (14) that extends inside the casing (2) and communicates with the outside via a front entrance or opening (14a) which is realized on the front wall (3) of the casing (2) above the laundry loading/unloading opening. The substantially pen-shaped, garment stain-removal tool (16) is placed in an easily manually seizable manner into a corresponding storage compartment (17) realized on the drawer-like supporting structure (13), behind the appliance control panel (6).

    摘要: The present invention relates to a laundry washing machine having a treating agents dispenser (20) provided with one or more compartments (23 a) wherein one of the compartment is suited to receive a unit dose package (DP) comprising a pre-measured amount of treating agent (D) incorporated into a water-soluble pouch (P). The treating agents dispenser (20) comprises a water conveying line having at least one nozzle (41, 42, 43) for generating at least one water jet (51, 52, 53) which hits and breaks the unit dose package (DP) inside the compartment (23a).
