Additional functions
In addition to the main modes, the Ardo machine allows you to select additional functions to ensure the best washing of clothes and maximum care for your laundry. These include:

- Preliminary.It is used in the Cotton, Synthetics and Daily modes and is designed to wash heavily soiled laundry. The detergent should be placed in the main and pre-wash compartments.
- Intensive. When this option is activated, the Cotton and Synthetics programs are performed for a longer time than initially set for better washing of heavily soiled items.
- Cleaning system. This function allows you to clean the drum and rubber cuff of the washing machine from unpleasant odors, mold and bacteria.
- Easy ironing. When using this function, the Ardo machine adjusts the washing parameters so that the laundry is less wrinkled and easier to iron. The drum of the washing machine performs smooth rocking movements to smooth out fabrics, and the spin in this case is reduced to 500 rpm.
- Spin. This option is used if the laundry is very wet after the end of the cycle. The speed can be adjusted manually or left at the default value.
- Drying. This function is relevant for Ardo washing machines with a drying function. It is performed automatically upon completion of the Cotton and Synthetics modes or activated manually. The user can set the drying time independently in accordance with the desired result (things will be ironed or immediately put away in the closet).
The specified program execution time may vary depending on the Ardo machine model, the set temperature, and many other parameters.
