“Express wash”/“Super fast 15 min (Fast 15)”
The “Express Wash” and “Super Fast 15 Minutes” programs are designed specifically for quickly washing lightly soiled clothes, but with the condition that there are no stains on the items. Cycle time is reduced due to less intensive and frequent rinsing and no water heating (or minimal heating). It is recommended to load the washing machine with no more than 1.5-2.5 kg of dry laundry. If you load more, the clothes will not be washed properly. Cotton and non-delicate fabrics are the most suitable for express mode.
By default, the program can set the following settings : temperature mode – 30°C (can be adjusted to 20°C depending on the model); spin – 800 rpm (can be adjusted depending on the model of the washing machine); washing time – 31 min/15 min.
The “Express Wash 30” program is available in washing machines of the OPTIMA CONTROL/8, MULTI FUNCTION/7, MAXI FUNCTION/2 series.
The “Superfast 15 minutes (Quick15)” program is available in washing machines of the SMART ACTION/10, SOFT ACTION/5, SOFT ACTION/9 series.
Washing program “Dark items”
To ensure that no traces of detergents remain on black items, they must be rinsed thoroughly. The “Dark Items” washing program allows you to do this, since there is an additional rinse in the wash cycle, and the reduced drum rotation speed will help protect things from unnecessary wrinkles.
By default, the program can set the following settings : temperature mode – 40°C (can be adjusted 20, 30°C); spin – 800 rpm (can be adjusted); washing time – 1 hour 24 minutes (also depends on the additional functions you choose).

Washing program “Shirts/Jeans”
Shirts and jeans quickly lose their attractiveness if they are not properly cared for. ATLANT washing machines have a program that will help you keep shirts and jeans in perfect condition without losing color or quality. The difference between this mode and the standard one is in more delicate settings: reduced water temperature, gentle drum rotation speed. When washing shirts or denim items, we do not recommend loading the drum 100% to achieve maximum effect.
If you use the “Shirts/Jeans” washing program when caring for shirts and blouses of different colors and different types of fabrics, you will be able to wear your favorite things much longer. During the washing process with this program, the likelihood of shedding is minimized.
By default, the program can set the following settings : temperature mode – 40°C (can be adjusted 20, 30°C depending on the model); spin – up to 800 rpm (can be adjusted depending on the model of the washing machine); The washing time depends on the model and the additional functions you choose.

First start
The first wash can be a test wash to check your washing machine for leaks. This will allow you to check if everything is connected correctly. If you suddenly find a leak, stop it immediately.
If the experiment is successful, then you can wash your clothes. This point is important because a leak can damage your device.
Tips that will be useful after purchasing a washing machine:
- If, after starting, your machine begins to make strange sounds, do not do anything yourself. Call the service, you should rightfully receive repairs under warranty or replace the defective one.
- The housing requires frequent wiping; use products that do not contain chlorine.
- The rubber seal becomes a source of dirt and must also be cleaned.
- Hand-held powders are absolutely not suitable for washing in an automatic washing machine; this powder may not only fail to wash the laundry, but also cause damage.
- You cannot overload the drum; read the instructions for the limit of your device.
- Check clothes for missing items before putting them in the machine.
- As soon as the wash is finished, do not rush to close the door, let it air out. If this is not done, an unpleasant odor and even mold may appear.
- Descale frequently.
Remaining powder in the compartment can also cause damage to the washing machine, so you should:
- Use a water softener that is specifically sold for this purpose.
- Be sure to wash the container after each wash.
- After washing, you need to let the tray dry inside; do not immediately close the door.
- Clean trays.
- The powder must be of high quality.
- If you resort to concentrates, then do not forget to rinse the machine.
For high-quality washing you will need the following components:
- A universal powder that is suitable for various types of laundry.
- Powder containing bleach.
- There are various products for colored fabrics in stores.
- A product with a biological additive will remove the most difficult stains.
- Special powders that allow you to wash in cold water.
- Synthetic products.
- Reagents that allow you to wash white clothes.
Tools that can be used when starting up for the first time
Let's talk in a little more detail about which tool should be used to start the machine for the first time.
As we have already said, you can take a small amount of any powder marked “Automatic” on the package. But if you don’t really trust ordinary powder, then purchase a special technical product that effectively removes industrial contaminants and eliminates extraneous odors. These products include Helfer Start HLR0054 .
It will help deal with any stains from lubricants. Helfer contains surfactants that degrease and clean all internal elements of the automatic machine from excess fuel oil, oils, and carbon deposits. It can be used for all types of SMA. The method of application is quite simple:
- pour the contents of one package into the powder cuvette;
- set the test wash mode (usually the “Cotton” program at a temperature of 60 degrees);
- run the full cycle.
Now you know everything about preparing and starting the washing machine for the first time. Simple rules that you follow will guarantee you a positive outcome in this procedure.
