Washing machines are a mandatory attribute of every city or country house. They are so different: automatic or semi-automatic, with or without drying, small or large, white or gray, etc.
Their operation is so simple that even a child can wash clothes. However, each model is equipped with a rather impressive manual in addition to the warranty card. What for?
Instructions for using the washing machine
The instruction is an important document that tells about the features of the purchased model.
The instructions talk about installing washing machines in an apartment, about operation, maintenance, malfunctions and other points.
From all this abundance of information, it is necessary to highlight important aspects that will help extend the life of the equipment and will not bring trouble to its owner.
Installation and connection
In any instructions for using a bosh washing machine, for example, or an eyelid, it does not matter, this is the very first point.
It is important, since the performance of the equipment depends on the correct installation.
The package for the washing machine must include:
- hoses,
- wrench,
- fastening,
- shipping bolts.
After unpacking the purchase, the first step is to remove the bolts that fix the drum to avoid damage during transportation.
Further in the instructions for use, you should find the section “Installation” and familiarize yourself with it.
Most models of washing machines imply work with a three-wire grounded socket, therefore, if possible, this should be taken into account, this is indicated by the instructions for using the zanussi washing machine and other models.
The choice of a place for a washing machine is important and it should be noted that:
The floor must not be tilted more than 1 degree.- It is more expedient for the typewriter to stand no further than 1.5 meters from the outlet.
- Simultaneous connection of several devices to the socket during operation of the washing machine for washing is not recommended.
- The distance between the wall and the washing machine should be at least 10 cm, and on the sides about 2 cm.
- If the floor has irregularities, then this is eliminated with the help of twisting legs.
With an increase in these figures, care should be taken to use a special device to reduce pressure.
The water intake hose must be equipped with gaskets and a filter. And the drainage can be connected to the central drain pipe, or it can be carried out into the bathroom or sink.
If a new washing machine is installed in place of the old one, then the work is simplified. It is enough just to screw the hoses of the bay and drain to the old place.
Control Panel
Each washing machine is individual and the attached instructions tell about its capabilities. But any model always has a main button - on.Some models are equipped with a “Start / Pause” button, which allows you to pause the washing cycle at any time without knocking down the program.
To change the washing temperature, just press the appropriate button or turn the knob.
Often, manufacturers add additional washing machines to the main functions, for example:
- drum cleaning,
- selection of spin level,
- wrinkle-free mode
- prewash,
- intensive rinse.
And of course, where without the choice of automatic programs. Usually their number ranges from 5 to 20 - for cotton, synthetics, wool, delicate washing, manual mode, etc.
The algorithm is simple - the washing machine is turned on, the program is selected and that's it. The program itself regulates the optimal temperature, spin speed, washing quality, care and rinsing duration depending on the fabric.
A lock indicator is included on every model. After washing, it may glow for some more time, usually up to three minutes, which means that the door is still locked. When the light starts flashing, you can take out the laundry.
We start washing
Often a situation arises when the pins pierce the cuff of the hatch and a leak appears. Often, small parts or objects disrupt the performance of the pump and filter.
Do not forget to separate the linen by color to avoid trouble in the form of coloring or molting clothes. For washing bras, special containers are useful so that the bones that fall out do not damage the technique.
So, the laundry is in the washing machine, it is connected to the mains and the taps are open. Figuring out where to pour the powder is easy.
Usually there are three compartments in a washing machine:
-
First: for the prewash mode. - Second: implies the main cycle and is intended for powder.
- Third: used for air conditioning.
It remains to choose a program on which the washing time and temperature depend.
After washing bulky items or a down jacket, for example, white marks often remain on clothes, that is, the powder has not been completely washed out.
The problem will be solved by repeated rinsing. The instructions for using the ardo a400 washing machine contain a whole section with tips on effective washing and removing stains from clothes.
Foam can damage equipment, as mentioned in the documents for using the Electrolux washing machine.
To date, the range of detergents is large, and along with traditional powders, capsule ones have appeared on the market, which are immersed in a drum, and not in a compartment.
Troubleshooting
It can be:
leaks,- water supply problem
- drum stop and others.
The instructions give tips and tricks that, with a small breakdown, will help you solve the problem yourself.
For example, if the drum stops, this does not mean at all that it is broken. It is enough to restore balance by pulling out and straightening things.
It also happens when the washing machine refuses to start. Before sounding the alarm, you should see if the water pressure is sufficient.
Thanks, very useful information! I looked for instructions in the Crown CR 5081 AR washing machine, but could not find it. There is a washing machine, but how to run and what programs are unknown ...
It would be nice if the date of comments and the date of writing the article were indicated.
Very well collected all the basic information and presented in simple language.
By the way - for the girl asking:
There are very budget lines of “white technology” models such as Crown and Finlux. You can’t find instructions for them, only translate from one of the European languages. These devices can get to us, for example, through Ukrainian, Polish, Romanian or Bulgarian divisions of large retail chains such as Lidl, Kaufland, or as a gift from relatives from Eastern Europe, or by ordering through online stores offering such equipment with delivery from there. They assemble this equipment in Italy, Poland or the Czech Republic, perhaps somewhere else. The manual can be searched for in the respective languages. And, of course, English is always paired with the instructions.
