Could you post a shot of the programmes on the door? I'm curious.

So, how do you use this machine? It appears there is a switch below the program selector, I'm assuming all you have to do is select the programme and then flip this switch to start and stop the machine?

Just curious..

This is a very beautiful machine, thank you for sharing it with us.

I am only joking, I think your machine looks wonderful - especially like the lit up control panel - absolutly brilliant :)

What a beautiful machine! looks and sounds like it is built to last forever, and going by the way it turns with such ease and confidence i reckon it has a very powerful motor, not like modern machines that just bimble the clothes around.

A great find well done

Amazing square eyes!

Wow, this one looks like new. I had no idea they made them with square controls at all.
Owning the Regina and the Nova L here, this one is entirely new to me.
Does yours have the "double timer" setup as well?

Congrats!
Joe

Interesting choice of cycles

Lots of hot water cycles in that machine. In Canada, a 60 C wash is considered to be hot. We spend most of our time washing in "Warm" water which I believe is usually 35 C. Cold washes typically are about 15 C.

In winter, we can expect the cold water temperature to get as low as 5 C. Great for detergents specially designed for cold water washes, not good for much anything else.

So, what is the biggest difference between normal washes and biological washes?


Post# 572089 , Reply# 17   1/29/2012 at 03:51 (4,470 days old) by mieledani (Madrid, Spain)        

Biological washes have a long period of slow heating.

Normal wash 60º: aprox. 25 minutes of heating (reduced drum action) and 9 minutes of mainwash (intensive drum action)

Biological wash 60: aprox. 50 minutes of heating (reduced drum action) and 9 minutes of mainwash (intensive drum action)

This model with "square controls" was sold in Spain in 1969-71.

So, I'm assuming that the only reason why you'd want to use a Biological wash is if you are using wash powder (Detergent) which says "Biological" on it?

What happens if you use Biological Detergent on a regular cycle or use regular detergent on a Biological cycle?

This is kind of a new concept for me as I've never heard of this before.

Biological detergents contain enzymes that break down organic stains much more readily. One of the first detergents was Procter & Gamble's Ariel in 1969. A detergent with enzymes cleans more effectively than non-bio detergents.

Euro automatics were hot & cold fill. Now they tend to be more cold fill only.

Special "Bio buttons" on the washing machine usually either cause the machine to fill with cold water and heat it slowly, or else add a prewash that is cold fill and slowly heated to 40°C, before a normal "hot & cold fill" mainwash.

Furthermore, if a housewife used non-bio soap powder most of the time, she could use a biological prewash detergent, like Biotex, in the prewash.

As you can see in this instruction manual, biological washes include "extended soaking time between 40º and 60º" during mainwash. Water is heated slowly so the machine gets more time for heating. This programm was specially designed for difficult stains. [My English is very bad. I´m so sorry]

Many european old machines had a "bio" programm. It could be a longer mainwash, or an extra soak during prewash. Modern machines and modern detergents need to be "biological"

"Biological wash" was also the modern word for "Long wash"
