Search for the instructions of your washing machine, read them and try to understand the operation of the different programs.

You can use this USER´S MANUAL

1. Look for the diagrams. List five parts of a washing machine.

2. How many programs are there in the cycle selector? List them and describe the one you like the most. (Page 9 user's manual)

3. Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that include instructions for proper care. Draw the symbols of: Machine wash, Use delicate washing, Warm, Do not Bleach. (Page 19 user's manual)

4. Normally you can select the spin speed.  Why do you feel it's important? (Page 25 user's manual)

5.  There are international symbols to indicate where to add detergent and fabric softener. Draw them in your notebook.

6. Copy the activities you have to do to complete a laundry (List below)

If you do not have a washing machine or have any difficulty ask your teacher.

Estimadas familias,

Dentro de la unidad “Control y Robótica”, una de las actividades iniciales que se pide a los alumnos es que lean las instrucciones y comprendan el funcionamiento de una lavadora. Los contenidos se trabajarán en la clase en su totalidad. No obstante, si lo consideran conveniente, podrían ayudar a complementar sus conocimientos en casa. Por favor, permitan al alumno/a, si es posible, realizar el proceso de la colada (recogida y selección de ropa, programación de la lavadora, tender o secadora, doblado, planchado si procede,...).
