Permanent spin icon on washing machine and other icons

The spin function on most washing machines is indicated by a twisted spiral or can be in the form of a snail. If the icon is crossed out, this means that the selected washing program does not have a spin mode. Below we will discuss in detail some models of washing machines that are in demand among domestic consumers. Bosch - control panel on washing machines Bosch presents the “Start” button and other buttons for selecting main modes.

At the same time, the more dirt there is on the matter, and the greater its density, the higher the speed should be set. A separate switch is also used to set the temperature. He also helps in choosing a mode, taking into account the type of fabric; cotton has its own mode, wool has its own.

On many washing machines, the spin icon is presented in the form of a spiral.

On Bosch you can see the following icons (functions):

The picture of panties, T-shirt, T-shirt indicates the cotton washing mode. A similar icon indicates the quick wash mode, but then the pictures are clearer and are outlined in bold.
A basin with a wave means that washing is done with plenty of water.
The image of an empty basin corresponds to the fast operation mode. Also, dials with a period of time marked on them mean super-fast operation on Bosch machines.
The iron pattern means the choice of easy ironing. The decoding indicates that the number of revolutions will not exceed 600.
The picture of the T-shirt indicates that synthetics can be washed.
A nightgown means you can turn on the delicate cycle.

The pants indicate that the jeans can be washed.

The next popular model is Indesit. This brand has taken care of the comfort of using washing machines, so you can find more than just icons on Indesit appliances. Next to each picture you can read the name of the program, as well as see its number.

The Samsung Maxx washing machine is also in great demand. On Samsung Max models, there are often no icons at all, since the manufacturer, for the convenience of the consumer, immediately writes the name of the program on the main panel. There are standard icons on washing equipment that contains a bathtub or other place in the house. Also on Samsung equipment, and not necessarily the old model, you can see the following icons - a T-shirt with the right corner crossed out at the bottom - this stands for “intensive wash”. The clock deciphers the delayed start. A lock, and a smile next to it, indicates protection from children. Outdoor function.

[custom_ads_shortcode1]

Basic icons

Most manufacturers use similar symbols to indicate basic washing processes. The icons are displayed on the control panel next to the “Start” button. The icons are conventionally divided into 4 groups, indicating:

washing stages (rinsing, spinning, draining water, etc.);
main modes (cotton, synthetics, silk, etc.);
additional programs (baby laundry, economical washing, etc.);
special settings (light ironing, half load, foam control, etc.).

Modern models of washing machines are equipped with a touch control panel.
The program is selected with a light touch of your finger . Let's look at each group in more detail. The main processes and stages of washing have the following designations:

a circle or diamond with a vertical line in the middle or at the top - a button to turn the machine on and off;
triangle and two vertical lines – start/pause (start of the selected program and pause in its execution);
snail or spiral – spin icon on a washing machine. If there are two such icons, then a more twisted spiral means a normal spin, a less twisted one means a delicate one;

a bowl of water and two vertical lines - vigorous washing;
a basin with a hand icon or a separate image of a hand – hand wash mode;
basin with one vertical line - pre-wash;

basin with a vertical arrow pointing down (can be supplemented with a wavy line) - draining water;
sun - drying clothes;
iron – a function that provides easy ironing of clothes.

The icons for the main washing modes and fabric types are also basically the same for most manufacturers. Programs for the main types of fabric are displayed with the following icons:

cotton - the fruit of a cotton plant or a cloud on a stick;
synthetics - a flask with a spout (or without), a hanger or a T-shirt on a hanger;
silk - feather, scarf, butterfly or flower (often the same icon on the washing machine - delicate wash);
jeans - trouser pattern;
wool - a ball or skein of wool.

Icons of main modes and types of fabrics

As the main washing programs, many equipment models have:

intensive mode, which corresponds to the image of one or more things with spots;
delicate mode – an icon in the form of a flower resembling a daisy;
eco mode (economical washing) – image of a tree or the letter E.

Another clear example of the symbols of common washing modes

Additional washing programs usually have icons that make it easy to understand what the function means. For example, the image of a football ball is a mode for washing sportswear, sneakers is for washing shoes, etc.

Example of icons for additional washing modes

Modern washing equipment has many related functions that help bring the washing process to perfection. Additional settings are found in almost all new models. Let's talk about images corresponding to the most common programs and options:

stain removal program - T-shirt with a black circle or square. Mode for heavily soiled clothes. When it is turned on, the laundry is soaked in foam for a long time;
modes for washing blankets/bedspreads/curtains - schematic representation of these products;
night wash/silent mode – moon icon with stars or image of a megaphone;
mode for sportswear made of membrane fabrics – a mountain pattern or the inscription “outdoor”;
delayed wash timer – image of a clock dial;
half load – weight with a number;
child lock – padlock icon;
foam control – soap bubbles.

For models with mechanical controls, the indicators on the panel above the buttons corresponding to the selected options will light up during the washing process. For example, if the cotton mode is running, and the washing process is currently at the rinsing stage, the indicators above the cotton icon and the image of a basin with dotted lines will light up on the panel. If you turn off the spin, the indicator will also be lit above the icon with the image of a crossed out spiral.

Electronically controlled machines inform about the selected program with numbers and icons on the display - you can always see the stage of the cycle and the time remaining until the end of the wash

Kandy sign system

Many buyers are often attracted by the external picture - the design of the device. The “façade” is especially important. This is where the panel with buttons and switches, with a display and symbols is located

Equally important is the form in which programs and modes are presented. These can be inscriptions, icons or a combination of both.

It is recommended to read the descriptions of the programs, and if they are presented in the form of symbols, decipher their meanings. Difficulties may arise if the inscriptions are made in a foreign language and there are no instructions in Russian. The language of signs is universal, it is understood by representatives of all nationalities. But not all symbols used by manufacturers are clear at first glance. Kandy also has obscure signs that require deciphering. Let's figure out what modes the Candy washing machine offers and how they are designated.

What do the basic symbols mean?

Deciphering the symbols on clothes is not that difficult. There are 5 symbols in total:

wash;
whitening;
dry cleaning;
drying;
ironing

Dry cleaning using solvents.

Cleaning using perchlorethylene-based products.

Delicate cleaning with perchlorethylene-based products.

Cleaning using hydrocarbons and trifluorotrichloromethane (freon, white alcohol)

Gentle cleaning using hydrocarbon and trifluorochloromethane.

Cleaning without the use of liquid preparations (dry cleaning).

Dry cleaning is prohibited.

It is allowed to bleach the product.

Bleaching is prohibited.

The use of chlorine bleaches is permitted.

Do not use chlorine for bleaching.

Bleaching without chlorine.

Another designation is spin. Recently, manufacturers have identified it as a separate stage of product care. Despite this, spinning directly relates to washing.

Wash

The icon looks like a basin filled with water. Warns the person whether washing should be done by hand or by machine. It also provides information about water temperature and spin characteristics. A crossed out basin means that washing the product is prohibited.

Manual

The same basin of water is used, but with a hand lowered into it. According to the manufacturer's recommendation, it is better to use hand washing to prevent the item from deteriorating. The water temperature may also be indicated, but not always. 40 degrees are optimal numbers that must not be exceeded.

When washing by hand, do not rub the item with your hands or twist it.

10 best ways to quickly remove grease from clothes at home

In the washing machine

If the tag shows a bowl of water, this means that the product is machine washable. On the other hand, the icon indicates that manual mode is also possible. If one line is drawn under the basin - gentle mode, two - delicate. In the latter case, a lot of water is used during washing, the speed is reduced, and the rinsing is accelerated.

Starting the washing machine

Before starting the Candy washing machine, you must carefully sort your laundry into black, white and colored. Then separate cotton, synthetic and wool items from each other. All of them must be washed separately. Combined loading of cotton and synthetics into the drum is permissible only if a combined mode is selected. Before loading clothes into the machine, fasten clothing with buttons, zippers, or snaps. If items have stubborn stains, pre-treat them with a stain remover. Do not place bras, or items with beads, rhinestones, beads, or other small decorative trim into the machine.

When all the clothes are placed in the drum, close the lid tightly. When using one of the Candy programs, indicating temperature, speed and other indicators is not required. Mode parameters can be adjusted using selector switches. Add powder and, if necessary, additional products to the containers: conditioner, stain remover, etc. When all stages have been completed, press the “start” button.

If, after starting work, you need to stop the process, you should cancel the program by setting the selector to “OFF”. Then you should change the mode and press “start”. Or you can press the “Pause” button when the door is unlocked - take out or put things down, close the drum and press start.

Siemens WM 14W440

Of the listed models, Siemens WM 14W440 is the quietest washing machine with an ironing function: the noise level during washing does not exceed 48 dB, and during spinning - 72 dB. It has the highest energy saving class, but slightly lower washing and spin classes. This is a compact model that allows you to wash only 9 kg of laundry at a time with an average water consumption of 62 liters. A large number of programs will allow you to wash items of any quality, and an additional rinse will eliminate powder residues after using the “easy ironing” function. Owners of Siemens WM 14W440 note the high build quality and reliability, but complain about the rustic design.

Explanation of symbols

To operate the machine correctly, it is worth studying not only the symbol, but also the exact use of temperature, type of wash, and so on. Let's take a closer look.

Work processes

Modern models of washing machines perform many functions, in addition to the usual cleaning of clothes. Studying the work process will allow you to keep things in their original form.

The washing machine works according to a certain principle. First you need to load a certain type of clothing (natural fabrics, wool or something else). After this, powder for the machine and conditioner, if necessary, are poured into a special hole. Now you need to decide on the washing mode and start the process. After some time, the device will notify you that the work has finished. If necessary, you can repeat the rinsing or spinning.

Washing in a washing machine occurs in several stages.

Most models have a delayed start or night wash function, which is very convenient for busy people.

Water temperature

Particular attention must be paid to the water temperature, as certain types of clothing can only be washed in warm or only in cold water. The required degrees are set automatically with mode selection

But some models allow the owner to independently set the required temperature. For this purpose, there is a special manual drum on the panel of the washing shirt, which allows you to adjust the degree of water displayed on the display.

You can adjust the water temperature yourself using the drum.

Types of washing

In order not to spoil the item and maintain its appearance, you need to choose the right type. There are quite a lot of them, as well as types of fabric.

Most washing machines have the following modes, depending on the number of revolutions and duration:

Preliminary. Even the most stubborn stains are removed faster and more effectively.
Manual. Used for the most delicate items, stain removal is usually carried out at room temperature.
Delicate. She can also be called careful. Used for silk, cashmere.
Fast. Washing takes from 15 to 30 minutes and is done in accelerated mode.
Economical. Cleaning stains occurs as quickly as possible with little consumption of water and electricity. This reduces utility costs. It is also called electrolux.
Night. It is a great help for housewives when there is no time to load things during the day. The machine operates in quiet mode without draining.
Intense. Used for heavy soiling.

The machine has several washing modes.

You also need to sort items by fabric type. In accordance with this sorting, washing machines have special functions that are ideal for a particular type of item. You can highlight synthetics, cotton, wool, fine linen, denim, thick fabrics, sportswear, children's clothes, curtains, blankets and bed linen, winter clothes.

To buy or not

After a detailed study of the options, many will refuse such a device. But there's no need to rush. Manufacturers are constantly improving their models, you just need to keep an eye on the new products.

If there are a lot of things in the house that wrinkle a lot, then a washing machine with easy ironing is simply necessary. Of course, housewives will not receive things folded in a pile at the exit, but they will make the ironing procedure easier.

Important! You should not purchase inexpensive automatic machines, because little money was spent on them and the functions will not work well.
