Hi everyone! I recently moved in on a rented flat that has a washing machine of a brand I've never heard about, it's a "Respekta WA-6118".

I found a few pages of the original manual but there's nothing there describing the programs. I only know that it runs from 1 to 13...

I don't wanna risk shrinking my clothes or ruin delicate clothing, so does anybody know this model's programs?

1 - 2 ----- 3 - 4 --------- 5 ------ 6 -- STOP -7 --- 8 - 9 - 10 ----------- 11 - 12 - STOP -13 - STOP

I'm really hazzarding a guess here, but logically, this should mean:

1 - Pre Wash 2 - Whites 95 3 - Fast Coloureds 60

4 - Non Fast Coloureds 40

5 - Rinses

6 - Full Spin

7- 12 will be synthetics cycles, again with the lower needs being higher temperatures.

You should be fine to use program 3 for bedding and towels and program 4 for clothes.

Hi, without the chart showing which number is which wash cycle it's impossible to do anything other than guess. The advice in the first link I posted should help regarding low numbers being the hotter washers and higher numbers being the more delicate ones. This is a very poorly designed machine (probably old) which unlike modern washing machines that use wash cycle symbols with temperatures and wash action symbols can't be used without an instruction book.

I forgot to take pictures of the detergent dispenser, but it is the 'usual type'... It has two compartments for detergent (the left one is a bit smaller) and one compartment for softener (it's sort of divided in two actually but I usually fill both parts)

Could be one of those Merloni/Servis made integrated kitchen exclusive washers, like Diplomat et al. Thankfully, those are pretty straight forward to figure out the programs on.

I might be able to help, but it's not a brand I've ever heard of. Can you post a picture of the control pannel and detergent dispenser so I can see how the programs are set out?
