Abstract

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).
