This document provides a comprehensive guide for the SAIVOD LST1488 N washing machine, covering its functions, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description
The SAIVOD LST1488 N is an automatic washing machine designed for domestic use, capable of washing and rinsing laundry marked accordingly. It offers a variety of programs tailored to different fabric types, colors, and soiling degrees, ensuring efficient and gentle care for clothes.
Key programs include:
- Algodón (Cottons): For durable cotton laundry like sheets, towels, and underwear. It features a quick wash function to shorten duration with intense washing movements, or a standard mode for heavily soiled laundry with superior washing and rinsing.
- Sintéticos (Synthetics): Suitable for t-shirts and synthetic/cotton mix fabrics, offering a shorter duration and efficient washing. Like the cotton program, it has a quick wash option for faster cycles and a standard mode for heavily soiled items.
- Lana / Lavado a mano (Woollens / Hand Wash): Designed for woollen and delicate clothes, using very delicate movements to prevent damage. Users should select the appropriate temperature based on garment tags.
- Mix 40: Allows washing of cottons and synthetics together without prior sorting.
- Camisas (Shirts): For cotton, synthetic, and blended fabric shirts, designed to reduce wrinkles. The quick wash function utilizes a pre-treatment algorithm, allowing direct application of pre-treatment chemical or adding it with detergent during the main wash water intake for enhanced performance.
- Ropa deportiva (Sports): For outdoor/sports clothes, including cotton/synthetic mixes and waterproof fabrics like Gore-Tex, using special drum movements for delicate washing.
- Manchas (StainExpert): A specialized program for efficient removal of 24 types of stains, grouped into two categories based on quick function selection. It's recommended for durable, colorfast cottons and requires checking garment tags for suitable temperature and spin speed. Stain categories include Blood, Fruit juice, Chocolate, Ketchup, Pudding, Red Wine, Egg, Curry, Tea, Jam, Coffee, Coal (when quick function is selected) and Butter, Grass, Mud, Coke, Sweat, Collar Soil, Food, Mayonnaise, Salad Dressing, Make-up, Machine Oil, Baby food (when quick function is not selected).
- Plumíferos (Down Wear): For washing down coats, vests, and jackets with a "machine-washable" tag, using special spin profiles to ensure water reaches air gaps between feathers.
- Higiene+ (Hygiene+): An intense, long, anti-allergic, and hygienic washing cycle at high temperatures, ensuring high hygiene levels through prolonged heating and an additional rinsing step. Certified by VDE (at 20°C) and The British Allergy Foundation - Allergy UK (at 60°C) for bacteria, mould, and allergen elimination.
- Delicados (Delicates): For delicate laundry like cotton/synthetic knitwear or socks, using more delicate washing movements. Users can set the temperature to 20°C or use the Cold Wash option to preserve colors.
- Rápido / Rápido 14' (Xpress / Super Short): For lightly soiled cotton clothes, with a duration that can be reduced to 14 minutes with the quick wash function (maximum 2 kg load).
- Ropa Oscura / Jeans (Dark Care / Jeans): Preserves the color of dark clothes and jeans with special drum movements, even at low temperatures. Liquid detergent or wool shampoo is recommended.
- Aclarado (Rinse): For separate rinsing or starching.
- Centrifugado y vaciado (Spin+Drain): Removes water from clothes/machine. Allows selection of spin speed, including "No Spin" for drainage without spinning.
- Drum Clean: A maintenance program (to be run every 1-2 months) to clean the drum and ensure hygiene. It should be run with an empty machine, optionally with powder lime-scale remover.
The machine features a Pause Mode function, which automatically enters an energy-saving mode if no program is started or no action is taken within 10 minutes of powering on, or 10 minutes after a program ends. The display will turn off, and lights will return to the previous state upon interaction.

Maintenance Features
Regular cleaning extends the product's lifespan and reduces common problems.
- Cleaning the Detergent Drawer: Should be cleaned every 4-5 washing cycles to prevent powder detergent accumulation. Involves removing the siphon piece, washing the drawer and siphon with lukewarm water, and reinserting them.
- Cleaning the Loading Door and Drum: After each wash, ensure no foreign substances are left in the drum. For models with a drum cleaning program, use it every 2 months with an anti-limescale detergent. If the bellow holes are blocked, use a toothpick to clear them.
- Cleaning the Body and Control Panel: Wipe with soapy water or mild gel detergents and a soft, damp cloth. Avoid steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Water Intake Filters: Filters at the end of each water intake valve (rear of machine) and at the end of each water intake hose (connected to the tap) should be cleaned regularly to prevent foreign substances from entering. This involves closing taps, removing hose nuts, cleaning filters with a brush or pliers, and reassembling.
- Draining Remaining Water and Cleaning the Pump Filter: The pump filter system prevents solid items from clogging the impeller. The filter should be cleaned every 3 months or when clogged. Water must be drained first, either for cleaning or before transporting the machine or in case of freezing. This involves unplugging the machine, opening the filter cover, draining water (using an emergency hose if available), cleaning residues around the pump impeller, and replacing the filter.
