Washing modes in the Electrolux washing machine
Each Electrolux washing machine has a program switch, indicated with special icons. You can find their explanation in the user manual, where the meaning of each symbol is described in detail and it is indicated which fabrics each mode is intended for washing.

Additional options
Besides basic washing modes, the user can use auxiliary options to improve the result.
- Prewash. Can be used in combination with the main program for washing heavily soiled fabrics. Increases cycle duration by approximately 20%.
- Steam System. Steaming laundry. Can be used to refresh clothes instead of washing. This allows the machine to significantly save water and electricity. An additional advantage of this mode is that the laundry does not wrinkle, which means there is no need for ironing.
- Time Manager. This option can be applied to some washing programs. Depending on the degree of soiling of the laundry, the user can increase or decrease the washing duration. This will improve the quality of washing if the clothes are very dirty or reduce the machine’s consumption of water or electricity if the laundry is lightly soiled.
- Easy ironing.When using this option, the laundry does not wrinkle so much; in some cases, you don’t have to iron it at all.
- Spin. This function can be used if things remain wet after finishing a program. The speed can be left at maximum or reduced if necessary.
- Rinsing. This option will be relevant if too much detergent was added and upon completion of the wash it was not completely washed out of the clothes. After washing your laundry by hand, you can place the item in the drum to allow the Electrolux machine to perform a thorough rinse. This feature is also often used by families with small children, people with sensitive skin or allergies. Using this option increases the cycle time and also increases the water and electricity consumption of the machine.
- Drain. This function is used if the equipment for some reason does not drain the water, for example, if the Electrolux washing machine breaks down or if it is necessary to stop the washing process.
Conclusion

All that is required from the user is to place the item inside the drum and select the appropriate mode in accordance with the type of fabric and the recommendations on the label.The Electrolux machine will perform all other actions independently.
