Operating instructions for the Ardo AE, SE washing machine

What caused the breakdown?

Most often, the Ardo washing machine cannot spin out clothes for the most trivial reason. And the point here is not a breakdown at all, it’s just that the user himself makes a mistake, as a result of which a similar problem arises. What user errors are we talking about?

Creating drum overload or imbalance. If you put too many items or one large, heavy item in the Ardo washing machine drum, the washing machine may freeze without spinning. The same thing can happen if there are too few items in the drum or they are too light.

• The washing mode was selected incorrectly. A modern Ardo brand washing machine has a huge number of washing programs and functions that need to be selected based on a number of factors. If the program was selected incorrectly, spinning problems may occur.
• The Ardo washing machine was not maintained on time. It’s no secret that your washing machine needs to be looked after, and this needs to be done regularly. If the garbage filter is not cleaned for several years, it may well become clogged with various dirt, which will ultimately cause problems with spinning. To avoid this, you need to timely clean the washing machine filter and not only the filter, but also the powder tray, as well as the drain and inlet hoses.

However, not all reasons for such a breakdown are so trivial and easily eliminated. The user may have absolutely nothing to do with it, and then he will have to look for the breakdown that led to the above symptom.

1. After inspecting the filters, hoses and pipes for blockages, you need to remove the pump and check its functionality, you also need to check the serviceability of the engine.
2. Next we check the tachometer.
3. Then we get to the water level sensor and check it.
4. Finally, you can move on to the wires and terminals, and then the control board.

Starting the washing machine

To start the wash, press the “Start” button. The washing machine will lock the door and begin drawing water. In some models of household appliances, in the first minutes you can stop work that has already started - this can be convenient if you need to add laundry to the drum.

To start the wash, you need to press the “Start” button. During the program, the corresponding indicators on the dashboard will light up. Also, in many machines, the time remaining until the completion of the cycle is displayed on the display.

To protect the equipment from children interfering with its operation, you can install a special lock, in which the panel will stop responding to button commands. A description of how to turn the protection on and off is described in the operating instructions for the equipment.

Main disadvantages of innovative technology

Like any household appliance, smart washing machines have disadvantages. These include:

• inability to repair the device yourself (you will need the help of a technician from the service center);
• you can get confused in the controls;
• high price.

Few specialists can repair a washing machine; they prefer not to understand the complex electronic module, but to replace it completely. The price of such “internals” is quite high and can be compared with the cost of a regular automatic machine.

At the same time, such washing machines significantly save the user’s time. The devices themselves regulate the amount of powder, select the temperature regime and cycle time. And if your home also has smart appliances, then such a smart washing machine can complement it and create a real smart home.

How to use the machine?

Regardless of whether your equipment is new or not, before you start the washing machine for the first time, you need to make sure that it is directly connected to:

• Plumbing system for supplying cold water;
• Sewage system for draining waste water;
• Electricity.

If at least one connection is missing or faulty, the wires do not reach the outlet, it will not work and may immediately break down. Many models have an interference indicator, which makes eliminating interference even easier. You should also check the power filter to protect the electronic module of the device and replace it if necessary. Incorrect connection is one of the most common causes of failure of expensive equipment.

Almost all machines are programmed similarly, have an electronic module, a button locking system, and are equipped with a multimeter. So you don’t need to turn to a technician for help to turn on the automatic machine.

How to turn on the oven in an Ardo gas stove video

To repair a gas oven yourself, you first need to find the reason why it is not working.

The main reasons for the oven to go out in a gas stove

What are the main reasons why a gas oven goes out during operation, what to do and how to fix the problem? There may be several reasons for the malfunction. The main one is problems with gas control. Lighting the oven is quite simple - either manually, by bringing the flame to the hole in the cabinet itself through which the gas enters, or using an automatic ignition. Inside the stove there is a burner to which gas is supplied, and next to it there is a device that supplies gas to the burner - a thermocouple. If the flame goes out, it means that the gas supply to this device is blocked and the flame either goes out or does not light up.

Reasons why a gas oven goes out:

• nozzle clogging;
• thermocouple malfunction;
• low gas pressure.

There are 3 main reasons why a gas stove goes out.

Nozzle clogged

It happens that the hole in the nozzle through which gas is supplied becomes clogged. For example, if you were cooking something and food particles got into it. If this happens inside the oven, the flame may flare up, but due to the blockage of the hole, it may be quite weak and not ignite at all. Do not try to fix this problem yourself; contact a gas technician for repairs. He will clean the nozzle and adjust the air damper. In exceptional cases, the injector will need to be replaced.

The first thing you should pay attention to is checking the condition of the injectors.

Thermocouple fault

A common problem with flame extinction can be a faulty thermocouple. The thermocouple is responsible for supplying gas to the burner and if problems occur, you should find out if the system is damaged. The mechanism for supplying gas to the burner occurs due to the generation of an energy charge by this device. This charge of energy is distributed throughout the wire all the way to the solenoid valve to create a magnetic field, causing the valve to expand. If the burner does not heat the thermocouple as expected, the solenoid valve shuts off the gas supply and the flame in your oven quickly goes out:

• the tip of this device has shifted, because of this the thermocouple does not heat up enough, preventing the solenoid valve from opening, and the flame goes out;
• the tip is dirty;
• The thermocouple has worn out due to natural reasons.

Low gas pressure

Another reason why the fire in the oven of a gas stove goes out is low gas pressure. You can see that the gas is burning weakly by a pronounced sign - the crown of the flame is smaller in height than usual and may go out after some time. There may be several reasons for insufficient gas supply and poor combustion. Usually, this is contamination of the nozzle through which the gas is supplied. By cleaning it, this problem can be eliminated. Also check the supply hose to the stove; it is located below behind the stove; perhaps it is bent or pinched by something.

Low gas pressure can be caused by dirty injectors.

What to do if a problem is detected?

It happens that the problem of weak gas supply and flame extinction is caused by accumulated grease on the electric ignition or regulator. By cleaning them from contaminants, you can eliminate this problem. Also check the spark plug; if the holes are clogged, the flame crown will be small or smoky.

It may be worth monitoring whether oxygen is entering the oven. To do this, check that the oven door is closed tightly.

Many, noticing that something is wrong, wonder: what is wrong and how to fix the stove themselves? However, if you encounter any problem that requires appropriate qualifications, it is better not to try to fix the stove yourself. Such intervention without the appropriate skills and knowledge is fraught with big problems.

If you yourself do not have the necessary tools and knowledge to fix problems, then calling a specialist will be the best solution.

Important! Gas is a flammable and explosive substance. There are many examples of fires and fires caused by ignoring warnings. In addition, even if you have already had experience repairing a stove or oven, it is much better to trust the specialists, since over time the malfunction may occur again.

If your gas stove has not passed the warranty period, then call the service center of the company where you purchased the equipment. If the warranty period has expired, then call a qualified specialist from other companies in your city. The technician will be able to professionally fix all problems and tell you how to care for the stove.

Breakage Prevention

Gas stoves are used everywhere and are popular because they are quite unpretentious in use and maintenance. There are many brands of stoves, the most popular and safe are the Hephaestus model plates. But in order for a stove of any model to serve you faithfully for many years, you need to properly care for it and follow safety precautions. This is the only way to reduce the likelihood of breakdowns and generally reduce them to a minimum.

In order for the stove to serve you for a long time, you first need to properly care for it.

It is useful to completely clean your stove of dirt at least once a week. Try to wash the surface immediately after cooking if you see stains of oil, any other liquid or food residue. First, remove large residues and crumbs, and then wipe the surface with a damp cloth or sponge.

Important! Do not use powders or other similar cleaning products, as they will have a detrimental effect on the enamel surface of the stove. The abrasive nature of the powder can cause scratches and microcracks. The same goes for cleaning devices; they should be soft in structure.

Additional Information

It is not prohibited to use classic household methods, such as soda, vinegar, citric acid or alcohol.

To clean a gas oven, you can use store-bought and folk cleaning products.

Use a regular foam sponge, or a soft washcloth or cloth. Apply products only with a creamy consistency, distributing them evenly over the enamel. To completely remove adhered grease and stains, leave for 1-2 hours so that the product removes all dirt and germs from the surface of the gas stove. Next, remove the burners and soak them together with the cleaning agent in water for 1-2 hours.

Afterwards, rinse everything off with a damp sponge, wipe with a cloth and replace the dry burners.

Please note: Follow safety precautions when using the stove and do not panic if you smell gas. Just turn off the gas pipe valve and try to stay out of the apartment until specialists arrive.

• Do not turn the gas knobs to full power, as if the gas supply is too powerful, the flame may come off the burner, thereby releasing carbon monoxide into the air.
• Do not leave a switched on gas stove unattended.
• Monitor the quality of the equipment; if you see a yellow flame, the oven in the gas stove does not burn, or any other problems arise, call specialists in a timely manner.
• Do not allow liquid to splash onto the surface of the stove, as this may extinguish the fire and cause a gas leak.
• Check your gas water heater.
• Pay attention to whether the hood is working. It is very simple to determine this; you need to bring a burning match to the chimney, hold it for a while, if the flame is drawn in, it means the hood is working properly. If the flame burns as usual or deviates to the side, then the water heater cannot be used.

It is necessary to periodically monitor the operation of the oven.

Basic rules for oven care

Caring for the oven is about the same as caring for the stove. Take some time to clean its surface.

There are two ways to remove contaminants:

1. Classical. You simply apply detergent to the inner walls of the cabinet, and it should not contain powder or abrasive, which is also bad for the enamel. Leave for about 1-2 hours so that the dirt is corroded. Then scrub off the plaque with intense movements. But you should do this carefully and use a soft sponge.
2. Hydrolytic. This method is suitable for adhering dirt and grease crust. To do this, dilute the detergent in a saucepan with water and place it in the oven, preheated to 80-95 degrees for about half an hour. The stubborn dirt will become soaked under the influence of steam and will become much easier to wipe off.

There are two ways to clean a gas oven.

Important! Proceed to washing the oven only after it has completely cooled down! Then rinse off the foam with a sponge soaked in water and wipe dry with a cloth.

If you follow the simple rules listed above, you can maintain the original condition of your stove and prevent breakdowns. Carefully monitor the operation of the burners and oven, and if any problems arise, take a closer look at the equipment. If you yourself are not able to understand what could have caused the malfunction, contact the service center. When providing services, ask what led to the breakdown and use the recommendations of the experts. Read educational articles on this topic. And, of course, regularly take care of your gas stove so that it serves you as long as possible and delights you with delicious dishes!

What types of washing machines are there?

Manufacturers of washing machines produce products of different models. Each of them has its own characteristics, and they are all divided into three types:

1. Activator machines or semi-automatic machines.
2. Ultrasonic “washers”.
3. Modern (standard) automatic machines.

Before choosing a suitable washing machine, you need to carefully study the information about it, reviews of those who have used it, and choose a model specifically for your tasks and requirements. And also according to your financial capabilities. Below are the advantages and disadvantages of all three types of washing machines.

An ultrasonic machine is a small round device that fits comfortably in your hand. Before starting work, it must be connected to an outlet. It is used mainly in the country, when there is no standard washing machine at hand, or in semi-camping conditions. The essence of its work is that before using such a device, the laundry is soaked in a soap solution, and then the machine itself turns on and the washing begins. After this, you will also have to rinse and wring out with your hands, and rinse the device itself and wipe it thoroughly. A dubious pleasure, but many people use it.

Semi-automatic machines are small, compact and weigh little. Such a machine can be mounted on the edge of the bathroom, and after washing, hidden in the pantry. But this is where the list of advantages ends, and continuous disadvantages begin. Before washing, you need to heat the water, pour it into the machine, and do not forget to stir the powder or other product into it. And only after that you can load dirty laundry into the washing machine. At the same time, if things are very dirty, you will have to change the water several times. If the fabric is thin and delicate, then during the washing process things may even be damaged. As soon as she finishes the job, the car needs to be thoroughly washed and dried.

Standard modern cars (automatic machines) are the most convenient. They are easy to use, load things, add powder, set up and you are good to go.

But you need to do this carefully and treat the machine with care. However, even the most careful use will not protect against wear of parts. Before you take your washing machine for repairs, you need to think: is it worth it? If the repair is under warranty, then the question disappears

But if the machine breaks down 2-3 years after the end of the warranty period, it’s worth thinking about: now one part is broken, another month later. If repairs cost a lot of money, you should think about buying a new washing machine. This type of washing machine will be considered next.

Basic Ardo Programs

The washing mode is selected taking into account the material of the product and the degree of contamination. So, for example, it is better to wash jeans in the program of the same name, and a stale blouse in the “Shirts” mode.

Article on the topic: Which washing machine vibrates less

Depending on the specific Ardo model, the duration of the modes and the functionality may vary. The instructions will help you find out exactly what options and functions are available in the washing machine.

Checking the installation of the washing machine

Before starting the wash, you need to make sure that the automatic washing machine is installed correctly.

Transport parts must be removed from new equipment. They are usually screwed into the back wall of the unit, which helps prevent damage to moving parts during transportation. Turning on the washing machine without removing such bolts may cause it to break.

Before turning on the washing machine, it is necessary to remove the shipping bolts. The unit will not work without connecting to communications: water supply, sewerage and electricity. Check whether the tap supplying water to the washing machine is open and whether the hose is connected correctly. The drain hose must be connected to the sewer and straightened along its entire length so that there are no kinks.

It is better to select a separate, three-wire socket for the washing machine. The distribution board must be grounded.

The water supply hose must be securely connected to the washing machine. It is also worth paying attention to the installation location of the equipment - the floor must be level and the surface hard enough to provide shock absorption (concrete, tiles). The washing machine must stand strictly parallel to the floor - you can check the position using a level. Level the equipment by adjusting its legs.

If the unit sways or stands unevenly, its position is adjusted by twisting the legs. It is not difficult to perform such a check, but it will help to avoid significant troubles.

[custom_ads_shortcode1]

Checking readiness

The next step is a series of procedures designed to make sure that all connections are made correctly and the machine can be used for its intended purpose.

Check list:

Check that all transport bolts have been removed

This is important, since during operation the washing machine will vibrate, and these elements will damage the floor covering, nearby surfaces and some parts of the unit itself. Read the instructions. After all, working with different models is different

New generation machines have “intelligence” (for example, Bosch, Samsung, Electrolux), and an illiterate approach can turn into a disaster in the form of a breakdown or a banal failure - you won’t even be able to start the wash. By neglecting this rule, you can damage the device with even basic actions. Make sure that all water supply and drainage hoses are connected to the corresponding communication pipes. It often happens that the location of the machine will still change, or it is located far from the sewer. In this case, the corrugated tube is hung on the edge of a sink, bathtub or other container with a drain. When the water supply tap is located near the junction of the water supply with the rubber hose of the machine, and it was closed when connecting, it needs to be opened. Look into the drum and check for foreign objects.

To avoid problems during further use, after completing all the steps, you need to carry out the starting start correctly.

Loading washing powder

Washing powder is loaded into a special powder tray, which has three compartments:

• the left compartment is for the main wash;
• right – for preliminary;
• medium - for air conditioning.

This distribution of compartments is typical for almost all brands of washing machines. On Zanussi machines, on the front panel of the tray there is a reminder about the purpose of its compartments. For other models, you can always check by looking at the user manual, which includes a complete guide to operating the machine.

Some are sure that the more powder, the higher the quality of washing. This is a misconception, leading to the fact that excess powder is poorly rinsed, and then becomes a source of allergic diseases.

First wash

Starting the first wash of clothes is not much different from idle starting the Ardo washing machine, but we will still describe this algorithm in detail. To turn on the machine you need to:

1. Place laundry in the drum according to the specified maximum load of the Ardo washing machine for the corresponding washing mode, overloading the machine may lead to an imbalance in the drum, and the machine may stop. Linen should be sorted by color and fabric type, all small items should be removed from pockets ;
2. pour the detergent into the powder receptacle;
   

   Important! Do not open the powder drawer during washing to avoid water leaking from the machine onto the floor.

3. check whether the water supply tap to the washing machine is open;
4. With dry hands, plug the Ardo machine into a power outlet;
5. select the washing mode and the desired temperature by turning the corresponding knobs only clockwise;
6. pull the programmer knob to start the mode;
7. wait until the washing is finished and turn off the machine by pressing the programmer or the Stop button;
8. remove the laundry from the drum;
9. unplug the machine from the outlet.

So, launching an Ardo washing machine has its own characteristics. Machines of this brand may not have the Start button you are used to, but it will definitely be replaced by another button or programmer. Read the instructions carefully, good luck!

   Thank you very much for your help! Everything is very clearly described!

   Answer

What operations does the machine perform during washing?

After we loaded the laundry into the tank, added the detergent and conditioner and started the machine, any model from any manufacturer performs a standard set of actions. First, it draws in the required amount of water: standard for basic modes, and less for economical modes. Next, it heats the water, unless, of course, it is washing in cold water. After this, the washing itself occurs, the water is drained and the first spin is performed, then a rinse cycle, a final spin, and in some modern devices, drying and ironing of the laundry.

But there are some distinctive features that will harm some fabrics, while others can be effectively washed. This is exactly what the washing machine modes are.
