Delicate Cycle: This wash cycle symbol is a tub with water and two lines underneath. These cycles are meant for more delicate garments that could be prone to damage and uses low agitation, slow spin, and colder temperature water to wash clothes and protect fabric.
Compared to normal wash cycles which use higher agitation or tumbling speeds for casual items, delicate wash cleans items using low agitation or tumbling speeds, along with cold water, for gentle cleaning and reduced wrinkling.
The Delicates Cycle
This cycle uses warm or cold water with low or no spin. It's typically the shortest and most gentle cleaning cycle, and the low or no-spin allows for minimal fabric agitation.
The letters A, F or P inside a circle on your garment's care tag indicates that the item should be dry cleaned and instructs the dry cleaner what type of cleaner to use. An A means they can use any solvent, an F means any solvent except Trichloroethylene and a P directs them to use petroleum solvents only.
Gentle wash cycle: A washing symbol with two horizontal lines below means that the item can be machine washed, but only if the washing machine has a gentle or wool cycle. 7. Not machine washable: If you see this symbol, always hand wash or dry clean your garment.
A washing symbol with two lines under the tub means your clothes need an extra-gentle wash. They should only be washed with a gentle programme (e.g. wool) and a suitable detergent. Avoid the spin cycle if possible.

Use the Delicate or Gentle cycle
Denim may seem like a tough fabric, but that doesn't mean you should choose a Heavy Duty wash cycle. Instead, opt for the Delicate or Gentle cycle, and use cold water to help avoid shrinking or fading.
Choose Your Cycle Carefully
“A good general rule of thumb is to stick to cold and delicate cycles,” says LaLonde. “Cold cycles are the way to go to prevent shrinking. Most fabrics are much more susceptible to shrinking when exposed to high heats.”

Do Clothes Get Clean On Quick Wash? Absolutely. Clothes will easily be cleaned in a 15-minute quick wash cycle. However, such a cycle will only perform a very simple wash.
Delicates need to be washed on a special wash program. The term "easy care" is somewhat misleading as it does not refer to materials that are hard-wearing. Easy care laundry needs to be gently washed to help stop creasing or the items of clothes becoming misshapen.
The sound recording copyright symbol or phonogram symbol, ℗ (letter P in a circle), is the copyright symbol used to provide notice of copyright in a sound recording (phonogram) embodied in a phonorecord (LPs, audiotapes, cassette tapes, compact discs, etc.).
((P)) button is the parking brake, it can manually enable/disable or automatically enable/disable. Recommend use is when putting the car in park and before you let go of the brake pedal.
If you see a red circle with an “E” or a “P” inside, it simply means your emergency (parking) brake is engaged. If a light comes on that says BRAKE or a yellow circle with ABS inside, your braking system has a major malfunction.

Any Solvent and Any Solvent Except
The Dry Clean Symbol shown with a capital letter “A” means your dry cleaner can use any solvent to clean the material. A letter “P” means they can use any solvent except anything specifically listed.
Even a large load of laundry should not fill the washer tub more than three-quarters full. For front-loading washing machines, pile clothes up high, but don't cram them past the last row of holes at the front (the row closest to the door). For a conventional top-loader, don't load clothes above the agitator.
