Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water-conducting household appliance, in particular a laundry treatment appliance for washing and / or drying laundry, and a device arrangement. Specifically, the invention relates to the field of washing machines and washer-dryers.
  • the known washing machine has a drum-shaped tub in which a laundry drum rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis is arranged.
  • the tub can be fed via a line, a solenoid valve and a Waschstoffein seemingly adopted water. Detergent from the Waschstoffein seemingly styles is rinsed by the water in the laundry drum.
  • the from the EP 1 209 275 A2 known washing machine has the disadvantage that the flushing device gets dirty over time.
  • biofilms can form in the area of the flushing device, which become visible after some time as black or red-brown coverings and reduce the hygienic impression of the laundry care.
  • DE 41 04 760 A1 a washing machine equipped for drying, which has a container with a drum rotatably mounted therein, a Waschschein Kunststoff styles and a dry air flow generating device.
  • the flushing device is connected to the container via a flushing line.
  • the washing machine has a secondary air duct, via which air is drawn off from the upper interior to reduce the temperature in the upper machine interior.
