What do the icons on the Bosch washing machine mean

Unfortunately, the icons on the Bosch washing machine are not clear to everyone. Many users peer into these "hieroglyphs" before launching the washer, trying in vain to understand what this or that designation means. Moreover, choosing the wrong washing mode, you can completely spoil the thing. Today we look at the basic notation on Bosch washing machines.

What are badges for?

Everything is very simple. In order for the main panel washers not to write what this or that function means, Bosch manufacturers decided to designate these settings and programs as special characters. This is simply a brilliant solution, because the characters take up less space on the main panel of the washer than words, they are easy to remember and have a more informative semantic load.

If you look at a certain icon, then in most cases it is intuitively clear what it characterizes. For example, the image of a butterfly is the embodiment of tenderness and lightness, respectively, this icon programs a delicate mode in which you can wash clothes from delicate fabrics.

First, you should highlight the main designations on Bosch washers, which are available on almost all models of this brand:

1. The on and off button, indicated as a circle with a short vertical line.
2. Wash. Often, this mode is marked in the form of a basin half filled with water. You can choose a variety of washing modes, including: pre-wash, hand wash, fast, economical.
3. Rinsing is depicted as a basin. This mode allows you to effectively rinse the laundry from the remnants of washing powder and remove residual dirt.
4. The spin mode is indicated by a twisted spiral. You can select the desired number of revolutions with the corresponding keys.

Also on Bosch brand technique you can see other notation, which will be described later in the article.

Washing modes

There are various washing modes that correspond to one or another type of laundry. It is very important to choose the right setting in order to qualitatively wash clothes and not damage them.

The first image is a shirt with a hook at the top. This mode is ideal for washing items made of synthetic fiber. The execution time of the program depends on the amount of linen loaded - from 0.50 to 1.50 hours. The water is heated within 40 degrees, while synthetic things are not damaged.

The second picture allows you to select a mode for cotton fabrics. The washing program lasts about 2 hours, depending on the choice of additional options, the time may vary. The water temperature can reach 90 degrees, which will allow cotton to be better cleaned.

The third figure indicates a combination wash. This image is also used for quick washing. The duration of use of this program depends on the number of loaded clothes and the type of washer. For example, aggregates like classixx 5 up to 30 minutes, and washing machines of class logixx 6 up to 50 minutes. Otherwise, the purpose of the main icons is identical for any type of Bosch washer. The water temperature during quick washing reaches 50 degrees.

A dress next to a butterfly means cleaning delicate fabrics, it becomes immediately clear at first glance at the image. This washing mode allows you to safely wash even things from silk and wool. Cleaning is carried out at a water temperature of 30 degrees, this will not damage delicate fabrics.

The second picture indicates the start of hand washing. With this program, it is best to wash wool.

Image number 3 indicates the start of the jeans washing program. Cleaning takes about 40 minutes, in models of classixx 5 type - 1.30 hours.

The shirt or blouse is located under the number 1. The washing mode is semi delicate, with a water temperature of up to 50 degrees. The second picture indicates the launch of a cleaning program for sportswear at 40 degrees. The third mode is to wash children's things.

Adjust settings

Images can also indicate subroutines, thanks to which you can control the washing parameters.

As you might guess, the first image is a drain of water. This function may be necessary in order to forcibly stop the washing process.

The second image indicates rinsing. This useful feature will allow you to effectively rinse the laundry from the remnants of washing powder. You can also set the rinse intensity.

Drawing in the form of a spiral allows you to choose the spin of things. Spin speed can also be adjusted according to your needs. If at the output you want to get almost dry things, you must select the maximum value of this parameter.

The first image indicates a quick wash, thanks to which it is possible to clean dirty things in the shortest possible time. When this function is selected, all settings are set by default, and the cleaning process lasts no more than 40 minutes. The second mode is an especially fast wash, which will quickly wash even very dirty things.

Special functions

Special functions are characteristic for a particular model of a washing machine manufacturer Bosch. These unique settings allow not only to qualitatively clean clothes from difficult to remove stains, but also to make this process faster. These functions are also indicated quite simply and clearly. Washers of the type maxx 5, classixx, logixx have characteristic special functions:

1. Very dirty stuff. A particularly intense type of cleaning is involved, in which even the most complex contaminants can be removed from the surface of the garment.
2. Prewash. Before the main cleaning, things are pre-washed. This feature helps to clean very soiled clothes more efficiently.
3. Easy ironing. By choosing this program, you will prevent the formation of difficult to wrinkle wrinkles on things. This becomes possible due to the fact that the washing drum rotates at reduced speeds, after which the process of ironing the washed items will be more pleasant.
4. Extra rinse. This program starts a repeated rinse after the main one, in order to more effectively remove the remnants of washing powder from the fabric.

There is no doubt that the above functions are useful. Thanks to them, you can not only determine the washing process, but also reduce the amount of water and electricity consumption.

To find out which mode to choose for specific clothes, before washing, you should study the information that is displayed on the tags of things. Often there it is indicated whether this thing can be washed automatically, whether it can be wrung out, and what water temperature will not harm it.

If this information is ignored, then this may lead to the fact that after washing a particular thing will become unsuitable for further use.

Finally

That, perhaps, is all. As you can see, reading this article, there is nothing complicated in this matter. Now you can easily choose the washing mode that best suits your laundry.
