Modern washing machines are given to anyone it was pretty easycontrol the washing process. However, it is sometimes difficult to sort out the newly acquired equipment. Some designations on washing machines are understandable, but there are also icons that can not be understood at first glance. In addition, each manufacturer's badges on the front of the device are somewhat different from those of other brands.

It is very convenient if there is an inscription next to the icon that decrypts it, but on the panels of many machines you will see only the icons. You can find out what the icon stands for in this case from the instructions attached to the technology or from the Internet.

To turn on the machine on all washing machines there is a start / start button.

Also icons are located near the buttons that include a specific function or program.

The most commonly used for marking standard wash modes is the image of the pelvis, which is supplemented by other elements. For example, if the pelvis is depicted with a hand, then such an icon indicates a hand wash.

Some icons will prompt that the included mode of operation is suitable for washing curtains, sportswear, children's things, blankets. On many typewriters, badges are also marked for modes for different fabrics - wool, jeans, cotton, synthetic materials and others.

The control panel on Bosch washing machines is represented by a start button and other buttons for selecting the basic washing modes. The number of revolutions during the washing process is selected using a separate switch. At the same time, the more contaminated the fabric and the higher its density, the greater the speed should be established. A separate switch is also used to set the washing temperature.
