Top-loading Electrolux washing machines are renowned for their effectiveness and user-friendliness, with a variety of programs tailored to suit various laundry requirements. These washers offer options that make it easier to get the best results with the least amount of work, whether you’re washing delicate fabrics or heavily soiled clothes.
How you handle your laundry can significantly change if you are aware of the different programs that are available. Every program is designed to provide the best possible care for your clothes, ranging from quick washes to cycles specifically designed for wool or sportswear. When doing laundry, this means less guesswork and greater peace of mind.
We’ll guide you through the main programs that Electrolux top-loading washers offer in this post so you can select the ideal setting for each load. This guide will help you confidently navigate the options, regardless of whether you’re a new user or just trying to get the most out of your machine.
| Program | Description |
| Cotton | Designed for washing durable cotton fabrics, ensuring a thorough clean. |
| Synthetics | Ideal for synthetic fabrics, offering a gentle wash with reduced spin speed. |
| Delicates | Perfect for delicate items like silk or lace, with a soft wash and low spin. |
| Wool | Protects woolen garments from shrinking, with a gentle wash cycle. |
| Quick Wash | A fast cycle for lightly soiled clothes, saving time and energy. |
| Rinse & Spin | Only rinses and spins the laundry, great for refreshing clothes. |
Main modes and their characteristics
Generally speaking, front-loading machines are not harder to operate than vertical machines. The same steps apply here to start the washing cycle: sort the clothes, add detergent, and choose the preferred setting. Vertical Electroluxes have touch buttons and a rotary programmer on their dashboard where you can change the temperature and spin speed, among other things.
Make sure you open the machine’s instructions in Russian before testing it. It is advisable to avoid laziness and become familiar with your new "home assistant’s" software "stuffing." Because the models of washing machines, and even more so the brands, vary in their mode settings.
The spin speed, cycle duration, and allowable load of an Electrolux vertical washing machine may vary depending on the model.
Why is that the case? For instance, the machine runs at maximum loads when in the "Cotton" mode. That is, the maximum number of items that can be placed in a drum that is intended to hold 6 kg of laundry is six; if it is meant to hold 7, then seven. This also holds true for the spin intensity. Cotton products can spin at their fastest speed, so if the model can spin at 1300 rpm or more, it will be connected; if it can only spin at 800 rpm, this setting will be enabled.
The drum can be filled halfway when in "Synthetics" mode. Consequently, you can enter 3 kg of items when selecting this algorithm for a 6 kg laundry load from Electrolux. There will be 4 kg of synthetic fabrics in the machine if it can hold 8 kg of clothes.
We’ll go over the key algorithms that contemporary Electroluxes with vertical loading have stored in their memory.
- Cotton. Standard mode, which is available on absolutely any washing machine. The temperature of the cycle can be adjusted – from washing in cold water to 90 ° C. Ideal for white and colored cotton laundry. Loading volume – the maximum permissible for the machine, the spin speed is also the maximum. Approximate duration – 200 minutes.
- Cotton Eco. Washing temperature when starting this algorithm is 40 or 60 degrees – at the user"s choice. The duration of the cycle is maintained – about 200 minutes, while energy consumption is reduced by almost 2 times. Suitable for white and non-fading colored cotton items.
- Synthetics. The user can adjust the water heating – from 20 to 60 degrees. Only half the drum load is allowed. Mode for washing synthetic and mixed fabrics. Spinning is performed at the maximum speed for the model. Approximate cycle duration is 105 minutes.
- Delicate fabrics. Delicate program for acrylic, viscose, polyester. Suitable for removing normal stains. Washing degree – 40, drum load – half, mode duration – 90 minutes.
- Wool. When starting this mode, you can load no more than 1 kg of clothing into the drum. The algorithm is suitable for woolen products, as well as items recommended for hand washing (this is indicated by the corresponding symbol on the label). Water heats up to 40 ° C, cycle duration is 65 minutes.
- Jeans. Algorithm for caring for denim items, as well as knitted clothes and dark items. The user can choose the optimal washing temperature – 20, 40 or 60 degrees. The load in this program is half, the spin speed can be set to maximum.
- Linen. A special mode provided by Electrolux machines. Designed for the care of fabrics that require the most careful handling. Ideal for bras and other underwear. Drum load – no more than 1 kg, cycle temperature – 20 or 40 degrees.
- Silk. A special algorithm for silk and mixed synthetic fabrics. Washing is performed at a temperature of 30°C. Only 1 kg of clothes can be loaded into the drum to achieve maximum effect. Spinning is performed at medium speed.
- Curtains. Another special algorithm of Electrolux automatic machines. The pre-soaking stage is activated automatically in this case. Washing temperature – 40 °C, spin speed is medium, usually – 800 rpm.
- Blankets. A separate algorithm for washing blankets, bedspreads, quilted or down blankets. Only one item can be loaded into the machine at a time. The water heats up to 60 ° C, things are spun at a speed of 800 revolutions.
- Sport. Program for care of synthetic products and clothes that require careful handling. The mode will help to cope with minor dirt or just refresh things. Washing temperature – 30 ° C, drum load – half.
- 5 Shirts. Special algorithm for washing blouses and shirts. The drum can be loaded with 1.5 kg of laundry, this is exactly about five items. The water heats up a little – up to 30 degrees. This mode is for combating light dirt.
Depending on the material the item is made of and the level of dirt, you should choose a washing mode.
The Electrolux vertical machine’s drum rotates more slowly and smoothly in delicate modes. Fabric deterioration by mechanical means is thus avoided. It’s possible for a novice user to believe that the machine doesn’t spin the container sufficiently, but this is actually pretty typical of the apparatus.
Additional algorithms
The range of auxiliary options available for Electrolux vertical machines varies based on the model. The extra features are meant to enhance the washing experience and adapt the program to a particular circumstance. Which algorithms are we discussing here?
- Pre-wash. This way a soaking phase is added to the main cycle. It is recommended to activate the option when loading heavily soiled items into the drum. The duration of the basic mode increases when this addition is activated.
- Delayed start. This option will allow you to delay the start of the cycle for a period of 30 minutes to 20 hours. When activated, the corresponding icon will light up on the dashboard.
- Very quiet wash. When this function is activated, the machine skips all spin phases to perform a silent cycle.
- Additional rinse. It is better to connect this function in case of allergy to detergents or with increased skin sensitivity. This option is designed to thoroughly wash away powder residues from fabric fibers.
- Easy ironing. When this option is activated, the vertical spinner rotates the drum more smoothly. The machine works so that as few folds as possible are formed on the items – it reduces the spin speed and uses more water.
- Time manager. When selecting a washing mode, its duration is displayed on the display. Using the "-" and "+" buttons, you can increase or decrease the duration of the cycle. This option is compatible only with some basic programs.
- Child protection. With this option, you can lock the dashboard of the Electrolux washing machine. To activate the function, you must hold down the "Pre-wash" and "Easy ironing" buttons.
- Sound accompaniment. An addition that will help you not to miss the moment the cycle ends. The signal will be given at the end of the wash, or in case of a malfunction of the automatic machine.
- Permanent additional rinse. To avoid having to activate this option often, you can activate it once and for all subsequent cycles. To start the add-on, you need to hold down the “Pre-wash” and “Delayed start” buttons.
- Temperature. By pressing the corresponding button, you can change the degree of heating of the water provided by the default algorithm settings.
- Spin. Option for adjusting the rotation speed of the drum at the final stage of the cycle. You can also activate the “No spin” function.
The Electrolux vertical’s instructions specify which washing modes are compatible with a given function.
