4. Detergent drawer
Front view, left to right. Highlighted compartments are the ones the machine takes detergent from on this programme.
The drawer is on the left of the panel and pulls out towards you. Pour liquid wash detergent into compartment 2 right before starting. Do not fill softener in compartment 3 above the grille. To remove it for washing, lift and pull the drawer towards you and rinse it under running water.
Tap a row to set that programme on the panel.

- Lamp — A column of four LEDs: prewash, wash, rinse, spin; they light one after another. During draining the spin indicator lights. With a delayed start they show the time left (2, 4, 6, 9 h).
- Spin knob Отжим — Spin speed: cotton and synthetics up to 800, wool up to 600, silk no spin. You can lower the speed or switch spin off (crossed-out spiral). The machine will not allow a speed above the programme maximum. The manual shows no intermediate marks.
- Button Delay timer — Delays the start by up to 9 hours. Press several times until the indicator of the delay you want lights; the fifth press switches the function off. After Start/Reset the time can only be reduced. Available with all programmes.
- Button Super wash — Cleaner and whiter laundry. Available with programmes 1-8. Not used together with Quick wash.
- Button Quick wash — Shortens the cycle by about 30%. Available with programmes 1-8. Not used together with Super wash.
- Button Extra rinse — Increases rinsing efficiency; recommended for a full load or a lot of detergent. Available with programmes 1-8 and Rinse.
- Temperature knob °C — Wash temperature from the programme table; it can be lowered down to a cold wash (tap symbol). The marks are taken from the programme table.
- Power button I/O — Switches the machine on and off. After switching on all indicators light for a few seconds, then the On/Lid indicator starts flashing.
- Start button Start/Reset — Starts the programme. To cancel, hold the button for 2 seconds. When a water-stop is chosen, the same button finishes the cycle.
- Lamp — Flashes when the machine is on and waiting for the start; lit while the lid is locked. You can open the lid when it flashes again. Fast flashing together with another indicator means a fault.
- Programme knob Programmes — Programme selection. The knob may be recessed into the panel: press it lightly in the centre and it pops out. It stays still during the cycle: the indicators show the stage. The rotation direction is not stated in the manual. The order of positions comes from the programme table (page 6); the manual has no drawing of the knob, so the angles are placeholders.
The machine does not switch on
- The plug is not in the socket or does not make contact.
- There is no electricity in the house.
Manual, p. 11
The wash cycle does not start

- The wall drain has no vent pipe (on upper floors the siphon effect is possible; an anti-siphon is needed).
Manual, p. 11
The machine does not drain or spin
- The selected programme does not drain: for some programmes draining must be started by hand.

Rinse periodically: lift the drawer and pull it towards you, then rinse it under running water.
The pump is self-cleaning, but small objects (coins, buttons) can get into it. Make sure the cycle has finished and unplug the machine. Pry off the lower front panel with a screwdriver, unscrew the filter cover anticlockwise (a little water may run out), clean the filter thoroughly from inside, screw the cover back and refit the panel, making sure the hooks go into the loops.
Check at least once a year; replace it at once at any sign of a leak or damage. Do not use hoses that were used before.
After every wash leave the door half open so that no smell or mould appears in the drum.
Clean with a soft cloth and warm soapy water; do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Close the tap after every wash and pull the plug before cleaning and servicing.
Where the data comes from
- Ariston AVL 80: operating instructions (RU, 12 pp.), scan on McGrp, p. 1-12 (использованы 3-11) (manual archive)
Assumptions
- The order of positions on the programme knob follows the order of rows in the programme table (page 6): 1-11, then rinse, delicate rinse, spin, delicate spin, drain. The manual has no drawing of the knob, so the angles are placeholders.
- The top-to-bottom order of the four function buttons follows the order of the table on page 7 (delay timer, super wash, quick wash, extra rinse); the panel diagram does not label them.
- The left-to-right order of the drawer compartments (3, 1, 2) is read from the small drawing on page 8, where compartment 3 is drawn at the left next to the grille.
- The temperature knob marks (cold, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90) and spin knob marks (0, 600, 800) are derived from the programme table and the text about maximum speeds; the manual shows no intermediate marks.
- The manual gives no production years: the estimate is based on the design (Ariston range of the late 2000s).
- Step durations are estimates that add up to the total duration in the table; the machine is electronic, so heating time is included inside the wash step. The main-wash water volume (12 L) is an estimate; the extra rinse is taken as 6 min.
- The 1850 W in the manual is the maximum power consumption; it is taken as the heater power.
- For programme 6 the 60 C variant is recorded; the 40 C variant (62 min) is in the note.
Not in the manual
- There is no drawing of the programme and temperature knobs: positions and angles are derived from the table.
- Intermediate spin speeds between 600 and 800 and the no-spin mark on the knob are not shown.
- There is no duration or water consumption for partial programmes (rinse, spin, drain).
- The rotation direction of the programme knob is not stated.
- The effect of Quick wash (about 30% shorter) is not included in the time calculation.
Time is an estimate from the timer steps and heater power: heating 12 l of water from 15 °C to the selected temperature with a 1850 W heater. Real time depends on tap water temperature, load and mains voltage.
