Rinse icon on the washing machine: how it looks, functions and use of the mode

Modern housewives use all the capabilities of their washing machines to make household chores as simple as possible. The Rinse mode has a separate icon and a special purpose. With its help, you can avoid using regular washing when it is not needed. This will keep the laundry fresh and clean.

The Rinse icon on the washing machine is depicted as a basin with wavy or straight lines that symbolize water. It is noteworthy that such a designation is considered common for equipment of any production. In some washing machines, the mode is also signed with the word "Rinse" or "Rinse + Spin", which greatly simplifies operation.

Depending on the manufacturer, there are peculiarities of the designation.

1. Ariston. The panel has an icon with a basin and waves, a shower with stripes that increase.
2. Bosh. The mode is signed by the word and is located at the bottom, separately from the washing programs.
3. Indesit. There are numbers next to the knob. Next to the control panel there are decryptions of functions in Russian.
4. Samsung, LG. Usually, all operating modes of washing machines from these manufacturers are simply signed with words. If icons are used, then only standard ones.
5. Zanussi. The panel shows a basin with a wavy line and dots.
6. Candy. A shower is depicted, water from which is poured into a basin.

The mark indicates a specific program. All modes of operation on washing machines are conventionally divided into groups. Basic and additional programs are complemented by unique, proprietary functions. Additionally, the control panel contains modes that are stages of a complete wash cycle.

Garment rinsing belongs to the latter category. Many manufacturers place it separately on the control panel or in a larger font. Thanks to this program, you can rinse your clothes without washing them with powder. Sometimes manufacturers combine rinsing and spinning programs. The latter can simply be turned off manually if delicate fabrics are to be processed.

The washing machine automatically drains the waste water after rinsing. In some washing machines, the spin function must be activated separately. In this case, the program is called Rinse.

The “Rinse” designation refers to a complete wash phase. It is very convenient as it saves both time and water. Rinsing can be additional to the washing program or used as an independent mode for processing laundry. The washing machine draws clean water and turns clothes in it.

Rinsing is accompanied by an automatic water drain. However, if you wish, you can set the spin. Then the technique will first rinse the clothes in clean water, and then turn the drum to remove excess moisture. In most cases, the Rinse is used without spinning only for delicate fabrics.

It is not difficult to establish the regime. On some washing machines, it is necessary to turn the toggle knob to the desired position. In others, it is enough to click on a certain button, which is labeled "Rinse" or indicated by the corresponding icon.It is very convenient to use the mode as an additional one. Truth, the system does not always allow you to set a rinse together with a complete wash program. It all depends on the features of the operating mode.

The extra rinse can be used for long programs, for example: "Baby clothes", "Cottons". At the same time, short modes of various quick washes do not allow setting an additional rinse. Also, there is no such possibility when using the "Hand wash" program.

In the modern market, there are more and more detergents of inadequate quality. Because of this, the quality of processing things in washing machines, which work automatically, deteriorates significantly. Some modern clothes detergents are poorly soluble in water. As a result, things are poorly washed, and the powder granules remain on the fabric. So you can get linen with a strong chemical smell and whitish stains.

After using this powder, it is not necessary to wash things again. You can simply use the rinse mode 1-2 times or install this program in addition to the main one. The latter option is relevant if it is already known that the powder eats into the fabric. The washing machine will spin the drum with clothes and cold water for about an hour.

It is especially important to use the rinse after washing if you have been handling baby clothes. Powder residues can irritate delicate skin and cause serious allergic reactions. It is recommended to use an extra rinse with every wash of baby clothes. Also, the use of the mode is relevant if you need to get rid of soap stains on black fabrics. Some manufacturers even use a separate "Dark Clothes" program, where clothes are rinsed more thoroughly.

It happens that there is no inscription on the washing machine, and the “Rinse” icon is erased as a result of prolonged use. In this case, refer to the manufacturer's instructions. It is necessary to compare the control panel layout with what is visible, and try to find the location of a suitable mode. These simple steps allow you to find any program on an old washing machine.

Some users neglect the Rinse mode to save water or time. It is worth noting that experts strongly discourage doing this. As a result of prolonged skin contact with aggressive chemicals in washing powders, various allergic reactions may occur. With a strong sensitivity of the body, the development of serious diseases is possible, because dangerous elements penetrate into the body.
