Since a lot of programs and functions are provided in modern washing machines, 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.
The decoding of such icons can be found in the instruction manual. But if you do not have the opportunity to look into it, then our article will come in handy.
