Designations on the Zanussi washing machine

Not every Zanussi washing machine can scan the loaded laundry for the volume and type of fabric and independently adjust the washing duration, temperature and spin intensity. Most machines offer the owner to choose one of the buttons on the panel with an already programmed cycle. It remains only to decrypt the icons on the washing machine. You can, of course, try to recognize the printed images, but it is better to use the factory instructions or our article.

Basic Modes

Any washing machine has basic buttons such as "Spin", "Drain" or "Delicate wash", which are considered the most popular and in demand among housewives. But it is not always possible to find the desired pattern the first time - the designations on the Zanussi typewriter have some differences. Therefore, you should not act at random and by intuition, because it is better to get to know the new home assistant in advance. The description of the icons available on the panel will help determine the appropriate washing program.

1. Schematic representation of cotton in the form of a dotted circle and a check mark. It is logical that before us is “Cotton”, designed for washing cotton linen of various colors with a high temperature range within 60-95 degrees. It lasts approximately 2-3 hours and allows washing even heavily soiled items.

Important! Approximate data are given, since the duration, temperature and intensity of the spin vary depending on the model of the Zanussi washing machine.

2. Interrupted rounded triangle. It is called "Synthetics" and means washing at 30-40 degrees with a weakened spin. It is considered optimal for underwear, towels, shirts and tablecloths due to the prevention of creasing. Time - 85-95 minutes.
3. Three circles and two curved lines resembling a tree together. It means an auxiliary function of energy saving, when activated, electricity is saved. For example, the inclusion of the option at 90 degrees will provoke a decrease to 67, and at 60 degrees - to 40. Suitable for everything except express washings.
4. Flower. It indicates the delicate wash used for delicate fabrics, lace and other items marked “Hand Wash” on the label. The average duration is 70 minutes.
5. Jeans. The image is fully self-explanatory: the button is for denim items. An optimally selected temperature at around 40 degrees, a minimum spin and a cycle of 130-140 minutes help to avoid fading and molting.
6. Skein of thread. Designed for woolen things. It is characterized by low temperatures up to 40 degrees and the absence of spin, which eliminates shrinkage and the appearance of spools. Lasts an average of 50 to 60 minutes.
7. Drawn bib. Directly indicates children's destiny. It involves gentle cleansing of the tissue at 30-40 degrees with plentiful rinsing for half an hour.
8. Cross. Behind the "medical" icon is a hygienic wash that can rid things of dust mites and allergens. The machine works at high 90 degrees and involves three rinses during a two-hour cycle.
9. Crumpled fabric. This image denotes special programs for washing blankets at 30 or 40 degrees. The filler of erasable products does not matter, therefore it is considered universal for bulk items. The average cycle time does not exceed 75 minutes.
10. Boot. The value of the button is prompted by the drawing itself - it is selected for cleaning various shoes in the machine. The full cycle lasts more than 2 hours, during which the product is washed at 40 degrees, rinsed three times and dried during extraction at a speed of 1000 or more revolutions per minute.
11. A month and two stars on a black circle background. This is a “Night Wash” lasting at least 2 hours. The main differences are the silent operation of the machine and the minimum energy consumption.The temperature varies, there is no spin, and water remains in the drum until the user turns on a separate spin.
12. Image of a tank with the letter "I". Indicates prewash intended for the initial washing of items with heavy soiling. Water is heated to a temperature of 30, and the rotation time of the drum depends on the type of fabric and takes from 40 to 115 minutes.
13. T-shirt with a black spot. Another helper function called Spot Removal. In addition to pressing a button, it is necessary to fill the stain remover into a special department of the dispensary. Best of all, when the water in the tank is at around 40 °.
14. Figure filled tank with a "+" on top. It looks like an additional rinse, which can be turned on after the main wash to fully clean the fabric from the remnants of the detergent. It takes about an hour to wash.
15. Spiral. The familiar “Spin”, used for more intensive rotation of the drum or after night washing. Duration is determined by the loading of the drum and the set power, but usually does not exceed 20 minutes.
16. Semi-filled tank with a downward arrow. It implies a forced drain. A full tank drains in 7-10 minutes. It is necessary after night washing and soaking.

Knowing the decryption of all the drawings on the control panel, you can use the home assistant more efficiently and conveniently. Also, a competent approach will save things from damage, fading and shrinkage. Better laundering and the possibility of planning the duration of washing will not be superfluous.

We configure the machine before washing

Determining the mode is half the battle, as it still needs to be configured correctly. It is a question of changing the programmed parameters, as well as connecting additional options. The general sequence is as follows:

• connect the machine to power;
• find the programmer;
• scroll the selector until the pointer aligns with a specific character;
• adjust the number of revolutions and temperature;
• activate child lock, power saving mode or other auxiliary function;
• check the correctness of the specified parameters;
• click on "Start".

On some models, the correction of a given cycle is allowed during the operation of the machine. Just click on “Pause”, make changes and continue washing again. In this case, the time is automatically configured - depending on the program and the connected options.
