Help me use my washer

I recently got an apartment in Prague and my only real experience with washers is the one my parents had and the ones in my apartment buildings back in Canada. However, the washer (maybe dryer as well?) in my apartment here baffles me.

It is a Zanussi ZWF 826

Picture of the available options:

i think trying to decipher those cryptic symbols without the use of the Rosetta Stone will get you no where. So your only option is to start pushing buttons and see what happens.

I think you turn the one dial to the number of minutes and then push another button for the hot or cold, 2nd dial is which radio station you want to listen to while it washes, the yellow button dispenses pez, the button to its right with the circle and dots that look like a face will transform it into a decepticon don't push this one until you take your laundry out, 2nd button from the left looks like an iron so it's probably for permanent pressed clothes or something.

Hope this helps.

Step 1: Learn the Czech phrase for "How the [censored] do you work this thing?"

Step 2: Ask one of your neighbors using your newly learned Czech phrase.

Saw a washer similar to this while on exchange. The 500/600/700/850 is very likely the revolutions per minute during the spin cycle of the wash that wrings out the clothing. 600 is good.

Right dial looks like the washing cycle. So different temperatures for like permanent press, colours, whites, etc. but i have no clue what each of the symbols mean.
