Indicators

Indicators provide the user with important information. Indicator meaning:

Delay timer

If the “Delay Timer” function has been enabled (
see “Personalized Settings”
), after starting the program, the indicator corresponding to the set delay time will begin to flash:

As the time counts down, the remaining time will be shown along with the corresponding indicator flashing.

After the allocated delay has expired, the specified program is activated.

Indicators of the current phase of the cycle:

Once a wash cycle has been selected and started, the indicators will light up one after the other to show the program sequence:

Additional function buttons and corresponding indicators

When a function is selected, the corresponding button lights up. If the selected function is incompatible with the set program, the corresponding indicator will flash and the function will not be activated. If the selected function is incompatible with another previously set optional function, the indicator of the first selected function will flash and only the second additional function will be enabled, the indicator of the enabled function will light up.

Hatch lock indicator:

When the indicator is on, the sunroof is locked to prevent accidental opening. To open it, you must wait until the indicator goes out (wait approx. 3 minutes). If you want to open the hatch after the cycle has started, press the START/PAUSE button. When the HOOF LOCK indicator goes out, you can open the sunroof

End of the cycle

Operating modes

The machine has 6 main washing programs, 7 special and 3 additional ones.

I'll start with a description of the main modes:

Cotton: soak-wash.
Cotton: intensive wash.
Cotton is the main program I use.
Cotton: gentle wash.
Synthetics: intensive wash.
Synthetics: gentle wash.

Special:

Wool.
Silk/curtains.
Jeans.
Express 15.
Sport.
Sports: intensive wash.
Sport shoes.

Additional:

rinsing;
spin;
drain without spinning.

I use the “Cotton” and “Cotton: gentle” modes very often. I wash moderately dirty items first, and children’s clothes or laundry that needs freshening second. When the child was small, I often turned on “Express 15”, in this mode it was good to rinse diapers, it is very fast, lasts only 15 minutes, the only negative is that things are not wrung out very hard, so sometimes I had to turn on an additional “spin”.

It is very convenient to wash jeans and woolen items in special modes. I also launched sneakers, house slippers and soft children’s shoes several times in the “Sports Shoes” mode. I haven’t used the “Sport” or “Sport: Intensive” programs at all; I usually wash sportswear along with other things in the “Cotton” program.

I rarely use “Cotton: wash with soak”, both synthetic modes and silk. Although I still started it several times.

I think that the additional “rinse” and “spin” modes are very convenient and necessary; many times it was impossible to do without them. But draining without spinning has never been useful to me. Perhaps it would be useful if it was necessary to quickly remove unwashed items, but we did not encounter such a situation.

I am satisfied with the quality of washing in frequently used programs; the laundry is well cleaned of dirt and stains. The spin is of quite high quality; some things do not need long-term drying at all.

Detergents and types of laundry

Detergents and

types of linen

Detergent dispenser

A good washing result also depends on the correct dosage of detergent: excess detergent does not guarantee more effective washing; on the contrary, it contributes to the formation of deposits inside the washing machine and environmental pollution.

Do not use hand detergents

washing, as they create too much foam.

Remove the dispenser and place detergent or additive in it in the following order.

Compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before loading washing powder, make sure that compartment 4 for bleach is not installed. Compartment 2: Laundry detergent (powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent is poured in immediately before starting the machine.
Compartment 3: Additives (softeners, fragrances, etc.)
Do not fill rinse aid compartment 3 above the grid.
Additional compartment 4: Bleach and delicate bleach
!

Do not use detergents intended for hand washing - the resulting excessive foam worsens the washing result and can damage the washing machine.

Whitening

! Regular bleach is used when washing durable white fabrics; Delicate bleach can be used on colored, synthetic and wool fabrics.

Tray 4

for bleach is inserted into compartment
1
of the detergent dispenser.
Do not fill Tray 4
above the max mark
(see illustration).
For bleaching only, pour bleach into the accessory insert.

, select the “Rinse” program and use the “Whitening” function. To bleach during the washing process, add

washing powder and softener, select the desired program and use the “Whitening” function. Using an optional insert 4

eliminates the possibility of using pre-wash.

Preparing laundry

• Separate your laundry according to the following criteria:

- type of fabric / designation on the label. - color: separate colored laundry from white.

Linen balancing system

Before each spin, to avoid excessive vibrations and to evenly distribute the laundry in the drum, the machine rotates at a speed slightly higher than the washing speed. If after several attempts the laundry is not balanced correctly, the machine will spin at a lower speed than intended.

Appearance

The white washing machine has a rather attractive appearance: stylish design, buttons, controls and indicators are conveniently located, and opposite each mode there is a signature, some even have the recommended washing temperature written next to them. I'll tell you more about specific modes below.

The machine is not very small, but not huge either. It has the following dimensions: width - 59.5 cm; height - 85 cm; depth - 40 cm. Since there was very little space to install the machine, it was lucky that it was narrow enough, which is why it fit perfectly into its place and does not stick out anywhere, which is pleasing to the eye and very convenient. Despite these dimensions, the drum is quite spacious and is designed for 5 kg of laundry.

The powder container consists of three compartments:

for pre-wash detergent (stain remover, bleach);
for powder;
for fragrances and conditioner.

Pros and cons of the machine

First I would like to note the advantages:

washes things well;
It has never broken during its long service life - 3 and a half years, but I use it very often due to the fact that there is a small child in the family. Sometimes I turn it on up to 5 times a week;
if work is interrupted due to an unexpected power outage, after resuming, erases from the point where it stopped;
The presence of a pause button is very convenient; many times I had to pause work for a while. Sometimes the break in washing lasted up to several hours, after which the machine completed its work efficiently;
There is a possibility to delay washing.

Flaws:

works very noisy;
vibrates strongly, in case of slight overload it even moves from place, so you have to watch if bulky items are washed, for example, a blanket or a large winter jacket;
When pausing for a long time, the lock button is disabled, which I see not so much as a minus, but as an incomprehensible functionality. And if you accidentally open the hatch, the water that may be there will pour out.

After all this time, I can confidently say that it was a very successful purchase. In addition to the fact that the washing machine works properly and without breakdowns all this time, it also does not require any grueling maintenance. © obzorok.ru

Features of operation and care of the washing machine

In addition to convenient and useful modes, the machine has such features as temperature control, “Eco Time”, “Whitening”, “1000–500”, and “Delay Timer” functions.

Temperature adjustment is carried out using a regulator. It’s convenient that the machine automatically controls if the temperature is set higher than it should be for a certain program.

“Eco Time” is designed for small amounts of laundry; this function saves energy and water, optimizing consumption according to the number of items. It is also noteworthy that washing is carried out in less time.

“Bleaching” allows you to get rid of stubborn stains, for which you need to pour bleach into the additional compartment.

“1000–500” reduces the spin speed.

The delay timer can delay the start of the wash by up to 12 hours.

Caring for your washing machine consists of several simple steps:

External and rubber parts should be washed with warm water and soap.
Leave the drum and hatch open after use to avoid unpleasant odors.
The detergent dispenser can be easily removed, after which it needs to be rinsed with warm water.
