Hi there,

Hopefully I can help.

Firstly, congratulations - the Hoover Logic/Electron range are some of the best, and a darn sight better than 80% of the modern market.

They use the old timer-style controls, which means the programs will be set our in order around the program selector. The rule with these style machines it that program 1 (or A if the machine has letters instead of numbers), is usually the hottest, longest wash and the programs follow on as below:

1/A - Whites 90/95 with pre-wash

2/B - Whites 90/95

3/C - Fast Coloureds 60

4/D - Non Fast Coloureds 40

5/E - rinses

6/F - Spin

As this is an older machine, it won't have a 30 degree cycle, but it will do a full load on Non Fast Coloureds 40 or 60 in an hour or under. You should be fine using these 2 cycles (40 for darks and coloureds and 60 for whites and bedsheets) for pretty much everything.

Hope this helps
