Since modern washing machines have a lot of programs and functions, the user needs to be able to use them. To do this, the manufacturer indicates the washing modes for the Zanussi machine on the control panel, marking each of them with an icon.
An explanation of these icons can be found in the user manual. But if you do not have the opportunity to look into it, then our article will come in handy.
Zanussi program table: description and symbols
On Zanussi washers, the designations practically do not differ from other models. Icons are drawn around the rotary toggle switch, the descriptions of which you will find in the table below. Basic and additional modes allow you to effectively care for linen.
You can choose the mode Zanussi for a particular type of fabric or according to the degree of soiling of things.
