CASING-LOADABLE WASHING MACHINE/DRIER
The structural design of casing-loadable washing machine/driers often prevents efficient drying. In this new casing-loadable washing machine/drier, the drying air is introduced axially into the drum, thereby flowing through the wet laundry from the inside to the outside and hence improving drying. In order to introduce the air axially into the tub (2), the drum (3) is offset on one side. The fan (11), the heating device (13) and the lint-filtering device (12) with a removable film element are arranged in the air duct (14) at the top of the machine casing. The suction side of the fan (11) is connected via the air duct (15) to the tub. The air duct (16) opens axially into the tub (2). The machine described can be advantageously incorporated into kitchen units. The basic design of the washing drum is equally suited to top-loading and front loading machines.
