Have lost the instruction book! Can someone tell us what are the differences between the 3 various 40 degree washes shown in the pic? We can't make out what the symbols mean and wonder how long each program is and which is most suitable for towels and sheets as for usual washes we just use the 30 minute quick wash, but the wife wants to use a hotter wash for the towels etc.

Many thanks if you can help. The model is Beko Volumax5 5kg machine.

Clockwise ( Top right) you’ve got Cotton symbol

90C very hot, 100% cotton white sheets for example (rarely needed, risky to fabric)

60C Towels, 100% cotton bed linen

40C Other Cottons, shirts, shorts etc

Super 40 wash

Mini 30 wash

Hand Washes

Wool symbol 40c wool wash

Feather symbol 30C delicate wash

Chemical Jar symbol, Various synthetic fabric washes

Happy Washing 😊

Many thanks Maria. Really helpful.

Have you any idea how long in duration the various 40 degree washes are?

Much appreciated.

Sorry Tony, I don’t know how long each 40 wash will take for your machine.

But I would imagine all machines have similar wash times for each of above cycles.

Best to try them out and see which ones you prefer. 😊
