What do the icons on the washing machine mean? List of all major designations and symbols - Setafi

The icons on the washing machine are always shown on the front panel, and their decoding is presented in the instructions or directly on the case. Designations may differ depending on the brand and even within the same model range. Icons for all common washers, as well as their decoding can be found in this article.

Bosch

Understanding what puppies on a washing machine mean is quite simple. But it is worth considering that each model may have its own characteristics. For example, the icons on Bosch devices look like this:

1. "T-shirt" - a mode in which you can wash items made of cotton fabrics. Also, similar designations on the washing machine of some models may indicate an accelerated mode.
2. The basin icon with several lines is the signs on the washing machine that indicate a high water consumption in the selected mode.
3. Empty bowl symbol - fast processing mode.
4. "Clock face" - cleaning in a very fast mode.
5. Iron icon - delicate processing, for example, fabrics made of silk or wool.

6. Another kind of delicate processing is indicated by a pajama pattern.
7. The spin icon on the washing machine, like the drain, is shown at the very bottom (seen in the photo).
8. On the panel, you can also find the symbol of a basin with a handle - this is a delicate treatment mode, similar to hand washing.
9. Many models have a special option for washing jeans, it is indicated by the “trousers” icon.

It is worth noting that the layout of the symbols may vary slightly depending on the specific model. For example, on some devices, the rinse icon on the washing machine is not at the bottom, but a little higher.

Samsung, LG, Indesit

Approximately the same symbols can be found on models of the Samsung brand. But it is worth considering that the decoding of the signs on the washing machine, as well as the images themselves, may differ slightly:

1. T-shirt icon - high temperature processing mode for heavy soiling, as well as for synthetic fabrics.
2. Clock pattern - the ability to delay the start by an hour or another time (configured individually).
3. If we talk about what the icons on the Samsung washing machine in the form of balls and T-shirts mean, then this is the “Eco Bubble” mode. In this case, the powder is not just fed into the drum, but is pre-mixed for foaming, which increases the washing efficiency.
4. The image of a basin and several lines indicates the possibility of choosing a soaking mode.

The rest of the designations on the Samsung washing machine have their own signatures, as in the photo, so they are quite understandable even without instructions.

The same can be said about devices of the LG brand. The front panel has already given the decoding of each button, so you can learn how to control in a matter of minutes.

Similarly - for Indesit brand devices.

Ardo

The symbols on the Ardo washing machine should be described in more detail, since some of the symbols are not clear:

1. The cone icon is the processing mode for synthetic fabrics.
2. The basin icon with stripes is a standard wash option.
3. The designation of icons on the washing machine in the form of a ball of wool - the mode of processing things made of natural woolen fabric.
4. The hand-drawn basin indicates the hand wash option.
5. If you need to wash your jeans, click on the cotton box icon.
6. The bird feather icon is an option for processing silk and other delicate fabrics.

Zanussi

On these devices, the symbols are also not always clear, so it makes sense to give a full transcript:

1. Cone - an icon indicating the washing mode for synthetics.
2. "Flower" is a designation for a delicate mode of processing, for example, silk blouses.
3. The skein pattern indicates a special option for woolen fabrics.
4. "Lock" - an option to protect against accidental pressing (relevant for a family with small children).
5. The spin icon on the washing machine, like on other models, looks like a spiral or “snail”.

Miele

There are also icons on the Miele washing machine. Each of them has a signature, for example, a mode for processing special fabrics and products:

• denim shirts, trousers;
• wool;
• cotton
• delicate materials and others.

Other washing machines

Well-known manufacturers of other devices have significantly simplified the task for users. It is not necessary to decipher the signs, since the inscriptions in Russian have already been given. For example, this is how the front panel of Beko models looks like.

And so - the panel of devices of the Candy brand.

Understanding how the icons are deciphered is quite simple. Most often, users choose between the standard, quick wash, as well as the treatment of delicate fabrics. It will not be superfluous to figure out how the desired temperature level is set, whether there is a possibility of a delayed start and other useful options.
