Description of the washing modes of the Indesit washing machine

In the world market, washing machines of the Indesit brand are in great demand among consumers. Each individual model harmoniously combines the quality and value of the product. Indesit engineers equip washing machines with special washing programs and additional laundry care modes. And for the convenience of consumers, each function is displayed on the control panel of the device in the form of a special icon. The main thing is not to confuse them, otherwise the woolen sweater will be processed in cotton mode with an additional spin time.

On older models of Indesit washing machines, there were special icons next to the program selector. On modern models, the designations began to be indicated above the powder cuvette, and next to the switch there are numbers responsible for turning on the required program. And in order for the machine to wash dirty laundry efficiently, the hostess must know which types of fabrics correspond to a particular program. But the main thing is to correctly understand the decoding of the designations:

• program "Cotton" displayed as a cotton box or T-shirt;
• program "Synthetics" depicted as a flask;
• program "Wool" presented in the form of a ball with threads;
• program "Silk" reflected on the working panel in the form of a T-shirt.

Additional features also have individual images:

• rinsing is displayed in the form of a basin with water drops;
• spinning is presented in the form of a spiral image;
• light ironing has an iron icon.

Of course, this is not a complete list of program designations and additional functions.

Each Indesit washing machine can run both standard and optional programs. Thanks to this feature, the owner of the device can easily set the correct washing mode. Correctly set water temperature is responsible for the quality of washing and ensures that the clothes are treated with care.

According to the technical parameters, each individual model of the Indesit washing machine has a specific marking. In the first group, the device belongs to a certain line:

• MyTime - E;
• EcoTime - I;
• Innex - B

Front loading devices are marked:

• S - narrowed;
• U is super slim.

The next indicator is the designation of the species, namely:

• W - front loading device;
• TW - vertical loading design.

Based on these indicators, you can roughly understand what features the washing machine is equipped with.

The process of this program is designed in several stages. The first is to soak the clothes, the second is to wash, and the third is to rinse and spin. According to the standard, the Cotton program is designed for washing in water of 90 degrees. In this case, the drum should be the most loaded. Otherwise, it will be impossible to get rid of the contamination. The standard wash time is 2 hours 51 minutes. It may seem uneconomical in terms of wasting electricity. but the maximum load of the drum allows you to manage the wash in 1 step, no more.

The Cotton program is also designed for additional settings. For example, if you select a temperature of 60 degrees, there is no soaking step. The very process of such washing takes 2 hours and 35 minutes. Typically, this additional setting is used to remove dirt from tablecloths and bed linen.

The gentle mode of the Cotton program lasts 2 hours and 27 minutes at a water temperature of 40 degrees. It is used for washing colored laundry that can fade.

This program combines several washing sub-modes. The first one lasts 1 hour 20 minutes at a constant water temperature of 60 degrees. The second sub-mode is delicate, since the temperature indicator of water does not exceed 40 degrees.

This program is designed for washing clothes and other items made of any type of wool. The water temperature of the presented mode is kept at 40 degrees. The washing time is 55 minutes.

Several recommendations will help you to get the effect of freshness and cleanliness of woolen linen.

• Dirty things cannot be put into the drum twisted in a lump.
• Maximum permissible weight of dirty laundry should not be more than 1.5 kg. Otherwise, it will stain your clothes.

Besides, the washing machine's care for woolen items is manifested in the minimum number of revolutions. The drum sways from side to side, as if lulling a small child.

This program is specially designed for the care of delicate and light types of fabrics. For example, tulle, silk bedding or pajamas. A delicate approach to washing is the water temperature, which does not exceed 30 degrees. The wash time for the Silk program is 60 minutes. It is important for housewives to consider that To obtain the maximum cleanliness effect, load no more than 1.5 kg of dirty clothes into the drum.

This program does not include the soaking, rinsing and spinning steps. After washing it is necessary to carefully remove the laundry from the drum and pat it dry with a towel.

In addition to the basic programs, Indesit washing machines provide special functions that cannot be dispensed with on the farm. They are present in the new generation models. But even in the old samples, there were several similar functions.

Special modes are designed for washing a certain type of clothing.

• "Jeans". This mode is for denim garments. The water temperature during washing does not exceed 40 degrees. The maximum loadable weight is 2.5 kg. Low rpm during the spin phase prevents denim from losing shape.
• "Express". This mode is similar to the quick wash program. It can be used to wash your socks and freshen up your disposable underwear. By time, the duration of express mode does not exceed 15 minutes. And the low water temperature is gentle to any type of fabric.
• "Shoes". This mode allows you to wash suede and fabric sneakers. The water temperature of 30 degrees promotes gentle shoe care. It is not recommended to load more than 2 pairs of shoes into the drum.
• "Sportswear". The gentle wash for sports items lasts 1 hour 10 minutes at a constant temperature of 30 degrees. The maximum load capacity of the drum is 2.5 kg of dirty clothes.

However, special modes are not a complete list of additional features of the Indesit washing machine. The system contains certain functions to automate the manual work of women.

• "Delicate rinse". Extra rinse function suitable for all types of fabric.
• "Spin"... This function allows you to remove the remaining water from the washed clothes.

To select the desired washing mode, there is a special circular switch on the control panel of the Indesit washing machine. Along its entire circumference are the numbers corresponding to the system programs. On older models, the designations of the modes are indicated in the form of drawings, in modern designs there is a verbal decoding.

For example, to wash sports shoes, you need to find the appropriate mode with a numeric designation and turn the dial to the desired position. In this case, we are talking about the number 12. For washing wool, select the number 6. Other types of programs are selected in a similar way.

Some users find it difficult to install an additional rinse. Although it is enough just to press the button under the corresponding figure and turn the speed switch to the required position. In principle, the installation of the program is not difficult, the main thing is not to rush to avoid mistakes.

Difficulties for users of Indesit washing machines are caused by the test mode, which allows you to check the operation of the system. It is rather difficult to enable it.

• The switch needs to be installed to number 1. Press the "Start" button.
• Then flip the switch on number 2... Press the off button.
• Next is the transition of the switch on number 1... The start button is pressed again.
• The last step is to jump the switch on the number 3, pressing the shutdown key. Another transition of the switch to number 1, then turn to the drain function.

The system check has started.
