Washing modes and programs of the Ariston washing machine

Each automatic washing machine of the Hotpoint Ariston brand has a large number of functions. It is not so easy to deal with the whole range of possibilities of household appliances. If the panel has not only a graphic designation of the mode, but also a signature, then it is much easier. But it’s worthwhile to figure out what washing modes are provided by the manufacturers of washing machines Ariston.

Names of modes and how are they indicated?

In addition to graphic symbols on the panel of Ariston washing machines, there are also numbers. Each washing mode has its own number. Pictures, as a rule, are not located around a round switch, as in some models, but on the left side of the panel, under which a container for powder and rinse aid is hidden. It is not always the first time you can understand the designation of a particular symbol, so you can’t do without instructions in this situation. Consider the numbering of the program for washing Ariston machines.

1. Synthetic fabrics washable at a temperature of 60 degrees. Their designation is a magnificent dress.
2. Synthetic fabrics that need to be washed at a temperature of 40 degrees.
3. White items are indicated by a picture in the form of a white T-shirt.
4. Colored things. The image of the mode is a circle on the background of a T-shirt.
5. Dark things are indicated by a black t-shirt.
6. Shirts have an image similar to the name.
7. Down items are presented in the form of a jacket with a hood.
8. Linen "7 days" is a program for washing bedding. The picture looks like two differently sized towels hanging on a holder.
9. The “Rinse” mode is indicated by a picture that shows the outline of a basin with water pouring into it.
10. Spin and drain. The designation of this program is a circular spiral and water drops located below it.
11. Anti-allergic wash is indicated by a symbol in the form of a baby bottle and a pacifier.
12. The delicate wash has an image of a basin of water and intricate lines above it.
13. Wool. The mode is represented by a symbol in the form of a triangular skein of wool.
14. Mix 30 - a circle with the designation "30".
15. Standard cotton 60 is represented by a flag indicating “60”.
16. Standard cotton 40 has a flag designation with the inscription "40".
17. Standard Cotton 20 - T-shirt with the inscription "20".

On some Ariston models, the images may slightly differ from the above, but in general they are all similar. After the symbolism of the washing programs has become clear to us, it is worth going to a detailed description of them.

Main programs

The main ones are a certain list of programs for automatic washing machines, which are available in almost all models. First of all, it is Cotton. Moreover, the program is presented in three versions that differ in water temperature:

• especially soiled cotton fabrics are washed at a temperature of 60-90 degrees with preliminary washing. When spinning, the speed is up to 1000 revolutions;
• colored items are best washed at a temperature of 40-60 degrees;
• for delicate fabrics and not particularly dirty things water with a temperature of 20-40 degrees is suitable.

The "Synthetics" mode is also distinguished by the presence of several options. For severe contaminants, a temperature of 60 degrees is required, and for ordinary washing of synthetic materials, 40 is enough.

For things that just need to be refreshed, the fast Mix 30 program is suitable. As the name implies, the procedure lasts only 30 minutes. But it is worth remembering that it is not suitable for delicate fabrics, woolen and silk items.

In some models, the Mix 15 program is also offered; accordingly, it erases 2 times faster.

Minor Modes

The software package of any modern washing machine is not limited to the list below.In addition to it, there is also a secondary set of modes, greatly facilitating the washing of things.

1. Antibacterial wash suitable for heavy soiling. You can wash both white and colored linen. But you need to adjust the temperature. For colored things, the temperature should not exceed 60 degrees. At the same time, white fabrics are washed for 2.5 hours, and bright for about 1 hour 20 minutes.
2. Night washing is ideal for the dark when everyone is sleeping. The washing machine runs almost silently. But such a washing will take more than 4 hours.
3. Special care is required for children's things. The program is designed so that a large amount of water is drawn into the drum, all clothes are well washed with powder. Washing lasts 110 minutes at a temperature of no more than 60 degrees.
4. Wool is washed in water not hotter than 40 degrees. For such clothes, a slow rotation of the drum and a low spin speed are provided.
5. Silk requires a delicate attitude, so the water is heated only to 30 degrees. In the end, nothing is wrung out.

In addition to programs, there are various functions that allow you to adjust the default settings depending on what materials are loaded into the drum. The above modes enable the user to select the most favorable and gentle washing conditions for each type of fabric.

Functional Modes?

Any automatic washing machine brand Ariston has a certain set of additional functions. This, for example, is an additional rinse for thoroughly “washing” things from powders and conditioners. An individual program is also included here, it enables the user to memorize any most frequently used mode or just certain settings. This will significantly save time when starting the wash.

Extra spin may have several settings. Its duration takes an average of 10-15 minutes. Drain is a little-demanded function. But it will be needed in cases where the washing is completed, and the machine did not drain all the water from the drum.

Using the considered functionality will help to significantly facilitate some points in washing things. The main thing is not to forget about their availability and timely use all the features.

Meaning of drawings without inscriptions?

Some automatic washing machines do not have any mode signatures on the panel. They have to be determined only by the picture. Therefore, it is important to immediately understand what each symbol means:

• a square basket with cotton balls - washing things from cotton materials;
• chemical flask - synthetics;
• flower - things that require a delicate attitude;
• tree - economy mode;
• iron - easy ironing;
• pelvis and hand contour - hand wash;
• skein of woolen threads - washing of woolen things;
• trousers - jeans;
• basin with water circuit designation - prewash;
• pelvis and curved line - rinse;
• basin and arrow - discharge of water after a cycle;
• twisted spiral - spin;
• the moon and stars - silent washing;
• hours - fast mode.

We configure the machine before washing

Before you start using the automatic washing machine, you should carefully study the instructions. But on most models, everything is so clearly marked that you can configure everything intuitively. A control knob is located on the control panel to select the desired program, and then you can set additional parameters.

Before starting the wash, you should familiarize yourself with the labels on the clothes. It indicates how to properly wash this or that thing. Wrong choice of temperature or mode will result in tissue deterioration.

Particular attention should be paid to temperature and recommended chemicals.

If the user is well acquainted with the modes, then he will be able to quickly choose a washing program and the process will be most effective.But the meaningless pressing of the buttons will cause damage not only to the clothes, but also to the washing machine.
