Spin sign on a washing machine

spin iconSpin is the final stage of washing on most automatic washing machines. Many users do not think about choosing this function, because it is embedded in almost all washing programs. Therefore, not everyone pays attention to what the spin icon looks like. And if necessary, wring things separately, they begin to think how to launch this function. It's pretty simple, see for yourself.

What this icon looks like

The spin sign on all washing machines looks the same. It is a twisted spiral resembling a snail. The icon can differ only in the number of turns, but it does not matter at all.

The spin function in the washing machines is carried out separately, so that you can only squeeze the laundry. Sometimes spin is combined with rinsing. Spin speed depends on the specific model of the washing machine and can vary from 400 to 1800 revolutions per minute. The higher the drum rotation speed, the drier the laundry will be.

Do not chase the spin speed, in most cases you can not squeeze the laundry at too high a speed, this can ruin the fabric. 1000 - 1200 revolutions is the optimal spin that most people use, remaining satisfied with the result.

How to use spin

Using this mode is simple. Anyone can master it. Perhaps this is the basics of controlling an automatic washing machine.

  1. We put wet clothes into the drum, taking into account its volume. You can’t put a little laundry in the machine, just as you can not overload it, because in both cases the washing machine will give an error and stop the program.
  2. We close the hatch door.
  3. We turn the knob of the toggle switch to the "Spin" mode.
  4. By pressing the spin speed selection button on the control panel, we set the required number of revolutions.
  5. Press the start button (start).

You can also change the spin speed for a washing program. In some cases, the program may prohibit spinning at high speeds, limiting the choice to low speeds.

What to do if a thing cannot be wrung out?

In some situations, spinning has to be turned off. About whether it is worth pushing a thing, you can determine by looking at clothing label. Such a label or tag, among other useful signs, may contain the designation "prohibition of spinning" or "prohibition of twisting." Typically, such badges are placed on delicate clothing. If you see such signs here, then spinning in the machine (centrifuge) or twisting of the product is prohibited.

In this case, the washing machine has a spin-off function. To do this, press the button to select the spin speed, you need to put - without spin. On some machines, this function is indicated by a crossed-out spiral. For example, as in the figures below.

Spin Prohibition 2

Note! Turning off the spin, you refuse only the final stage of the spin. The spin between the stages of washing will remain, since it is included in the program, and it cannot be turned off. But note that this spin is performed at lower speeds.

As you can see, the spin sign on the washing machine is one of the most understandable. It is universal for all washing machines, but the nuances of its use should be known to everyone who has an automatic washing machine. Now you know how to use this function correctly. Good luck

    Thank! It came in handy, but I wondered if clothes could be wringed or not.
