All the above images can be divided into 4 main groups.

Group number one includes icons that display washing progress:

  • Pre-wash.
  • Rinsing mode.
  • Extra rinse.
  • Spin.

  • Drying.
  • End of washing.

On different displays, you may find additional icons with specific functions, such as "rinse + softener" or "rinse hold," which are related to the specific functionality of the base unit of a particular appliance. Standard symbols have the same interpretation.

The 2nd group of signs shows those modes that are designed for certain types of fabric. The key difference is in the temperature and drum speed during washing and spinning.

It often happens that icons from the third group are dragged into the 4th, and vice versa.

Washing mode icons on the Ardo washing machineLet's assume that in one washing machine from one manufacturer the "stained items" mode will be a separate mode, then in another model from a different manufacturer this mode will be under a separate button and this will be an additional function.

But, as a rule, the panel contains the following list of symbols:

  • Wrinkle resistance.Washing mode icons on Electrolu and AEG washing machines
  • Reducing washing time.
  • Reducing the number of revolutions.
