How to work an old washing machine

Pick your model: see the panel as it looks on your machine, where to set the knobs for the wash you need, how long it takes and where the detergent goes.

How it works

  1. Find your model from the panel lettering or the sticker behind the door.
  2. Pick a task — "everyday wash", "spin only", "wool" — or turn the knobs on the drawing yourself.
  3. Check the time and warnings: what the machine will do, when it stops and what this programme does not allow.
