A method for managing the load of washing liquid in a laundry washing machine (100) is provided. The laundry washing machine has a washing tub (110), in which washing liquid may be loaded, and a rotatable drum (115), rotatably accommodated in the washing tub (110), for containing the laundry to be washed. The method includes performing a sequence of partial loads of washing liquid into the washing tub (110). Each partial load provides for loading a corresponding liquid amount in the washing tub (110). For at least one of the partial loads in the sequence, the method provides for loading into the washing tub (110) a predetermined amount of washing liquid which depends on at least one indicative parameter related to one or more of the previous partial loads in the sequence.
A method for managing a load of washing liquid in a laundry washing machine comprising a washing tub, in which washing liquid may be loaded, and a rotatable drum, rotatably accommodated in the washing tub, for containing laundry to be washed, the method including performing a sequence of partial loads of washing liquid into said washing tub, each partial load providing for loading a corresponding liquid amount in the washing tub, wherein the method comprises for at least one of said partial loads in the sequence, loading into the washing tub a predetermined amount of washing liquid which depends on a washing liquid level of the washing liquid required for a selected washing program and at least one indicative parameter related to a measured level of free washing liquid in one or more of the previous partial loads in the sequence, wherein the predetermined amount of washing liquid for each partial load is directly measured via a metering device configured to measure an exact amount of washing liquid loaded into the washing tub, and transmit a reading of the measured amount to a control unit of the laundry washing machine, wherein the at least one indicative parameter includes a time for the measured level of free washing liquid to fall below a minimum level from an end of a previous partial load, a total amount of washing liquid loaded by the previous partial loads, and a number of adjustment loads performed, wherein each of the adjustment loads includes loading an additional predetermined amount of washing liquid in the washing tub in accordance with an assessment by the control unit, wherein the additional predetermined amount is less than the previous partial load and is less than a next partial load.
