Washing machine Eurosoba 1000. Operating instructions

How and why do you need to sort clothes before washing?

The first thing to do is find the label on the clothing. He will tell you how to wash this or that item. There is a reminder on the shirt on the inside left or near the collar. On the trousers - inside at the back. For example, some things shrink from hot water. Others can only be washed with bleach. This is what the label will tell you about.

Next you need to distribute things by color. If the clothes are new, they may fade when washed, thereby staining other things. The easiest way is to separate the laundry into white, black and colored.

But you can do this even more carefully:

• Dark things include black, gray, blue.
• Light colors include all pastel shades, as well as white, yellow, and blue.
• Denim items lose color more often than others; it is better to wash them separately.

If you decide to use the washing machine correctly, you should also divide things by weight. Because When spinning, the weight of heavy items can ruin lighter fabrics.

And delicate things require a separate regime and temperature:

• Lingerie, tights, and silk products must be washed separately.
• Sweaters, outerwear, and towels are heavy items, so they should not be mixed with others.

If you want to wash delicate items with everything else, place them in a special container. But keep in mind that the container does not protect against color loss, so you should wash it with clothes of the same colors.

If you have very dirty clothes, you need to remove the stains before washing. It is better not to throw heavily soiled clothes into the machine. Because some stains cannot be removed at high temperatures, and the machine can also be clogged with debris, for example, if clothes are covered in sand (if a problem does occur, be sure to read our article, which will reveal the reasons for the breakdown of the washing machine).

What is the optimal washing temperature?

Choosing the right temperature for washing depends on the fabric:

• Silk, wool and other delicate fabrics are washed at 30 degrees. Cold water takes better care of them and does not harm them.
• Bed linen and curtains can be washed at 30-40 degrees.
• Dirty children's clothes and towels can be placed at 40-60 degrees.
• They remove difficult stains and also disinfect linen and toys at a temperature of 95.

But before you choose the washing temperature manually, look at the label on the items; it has the optimal temperature at which the items will remain clean and not spoil.

Understanding the washing machine modes

Set the washing mode on the control panel. Or it can be installed using a knob that needs to be turned and fixed to the desired program. For example, there is such a regulator if you use a Bosch washing machine.

After selecting the program, all you have to do is start the washing machine. Let's take a closer look at some universal modes.

Based on the name, it is clear that you need to use a washing machine with this mode for special things: thin, light fabrics. This mode simulates hand washing; the drum swings easily, with little impact on the fabric.

This mode is suitable if you need to refresh things or remove light dirt. Washing time is usually 30 minutes. At the same time you save energy, powder and water.

In total, features of the mode:

• Choose it for rinsing things.
• Suitable for both colored and black clothes.
• Saves resources.

Or the same as soaking the laundry. Choose this mode when things are very dirty and stains are difficult to remove.

It is correct to use a washing machine with this mode if there is a stain on your clothes that cannot be washed off by hand.

There are 3 features:

1. It is necessary to treat the stain in advance before washing.
2. Manually set it to 40 degrees.
3. And in the second washing stage, go to 90 degrees and select a long cycle.

Before using the automatic washing machine, take a look at the instructions again; it contains a complete list of programs and their decoding. This information will help you start the machine correctly and not spoil your favorite things.

Mechanism "Baby"

Machines of this type are designed in a very basic way. The components of a small-sized washing machine consist of five important elements:

The small-sized unit is equipped with a removable lid, a drain hose and a stand module (default kit) PHOTO: cloud.maxni.ru

“Malyutka” works in a simple way. It is necessary to fill the tank with dirty things in advance, add powder and fill with water (preferably hot or warm). Then, the device must be powered from the network and the required session time must be set. The engine will begin to distribute energy, driving the activator block, and things will begin to mix inside the tank. When the session is over, drain the contaminated water using a drain hose. It is allowed to use “Malyutka” for rinsing sessions. Rinsing should be done in the same way as washing, but with less time and without adding powder.

What powders and other products should I use?

How clean yours will be depends not only on the washing machine, but also on the powders you use.

Our recommendations:

• Choose powders that are machine washable and also look at the type of fabric (indicated on the packaging).
• Wash white items with bleach powder. This will help not only get rid of dirt, but also return things to their original white color.
• On the contrary, wash colored items without bleach so that they do not lose their brightness.
• Between dry and liquid products, choose liquid ones, because... they contain more active substances and are easily removed from things.
• If a stain remains after washing, try bleach (for whites) and stain remover (for colors).
• To keep things soft after using the washing machine, add not only the powder, but also the rinse aid.

Still in service - “Malyutka” washing machine, reviews and review of models

Video instructions for using the washing machine

A test run of an automatic washing machine is carried out in a special mode: without laundry in the drum, at maximum water temperature and with a special anti-factory detergent. Such recommendations are given by manufacturers of household appliances to their customers.

The first run of a washing machine is often called experimental or test. Its purpose is to check the functionality of the parts and components of the device, remove traces of grease and unpleasant odors. A correctly carried out test wash ensures a long service life of the device and helps to identify manufacturing defects.

Attention:

Keep an eye on the machine while washing. The design of this machine must not be modified in any way. After each use, carefully turn off the water supply. The door open button is activated approximately 2 minutes after the end of the wash.

Removing transport fasteners.

Be sure to remove shipping fasteners before use. Unplug the device!

Open the car door, turn the drum by hand first to the right until it clicks, then to the left again until it clicks. If the drum then rotates freely, the transport fasteners have been removed. The machine can only be transported in an upright position.

Preparing to start the washing machine

Before testing, the machine is installed and connected to the water supply, sewerage and electricity supply. Preliminary preparation consists of several stages.

1. A new washing machine delivered from the store is unpacked and inspected. You cannot sign acceptance documents before this! Visually, you can determine serious mechanical damage: dents, scratches, cracks on the hatch. At the same time, they check the completeness - the presence of hoses, the integrity of the power cord and plug. If you forget about the preliminary inspection, it will become impossible to prove the presence of a manufacturing defect.
2. Factory packaging items are stored in case of breakage during the warranty period. Some manufacturers require that the faulty machine be returned in the original box and frame.
3. There are transport bolts on the back surface of the washer. They secure the drum during transportation. The fasteners are removed and the holes are closed with plastic or rubber plugs.
4. After this, the unit is installed in the selected location. The floor under the machine must be strong and level. It is advisable to install by level; The maximum permissible angle of inclination of the base is two degrees. In this case, the device will stand still in any operating mode (washing, rinsing, spinning).
5. The water supply hose is connected to the water supply, the drain hose is connected to the sewer pipe. If it is not possible to drain directly into the sewer, firmly attach a corrugated hose to remove water at the edge of the sink or bathtub.
6. The water supply valve on the hose must be open, otherwise the pump will fail after a few minutes of idle operation.
7. To power your washing machine, you must have a grounded outlet designed for high-power consumer electronics. It is not advisable to use extension cords.
8. At the end, the device is inspected again, small packaging parts (film, adhesive tape) are removed, and the drum and detergent tray are checked for the presence of foreign objects and debris. The washing machine is ready for a test run.

Important! During the cold season, the machine is kept indoors at room temperature for 5–7 hours. This is necessary to ensure that all components and parts (especially the electronic control unit) operate at their usual temperature conditions.

Which is better to buy a “baby” washing machine: independent opinion of the editors

Our team has analyzed all the qualities and advantages of the models proposed in the previous section. Based on the results obtained, we recommend buying one of the following two models: the Candy Aquamatic 1D1035-07 washing machine or a more budget option - RENOVA WS-50PT.

Before washing in small ones, take care of preheated water, since the device does not have a built-in heating element.

Based on user surveys, the editorial experts concluded that the two devices serve equally well and are considered durable. For the manufacture of both of these models, plastic was ideally selected, which does not age over time and does not become yellow (of course, if care is taken). Therefore, we recommend buying any of these machines to forget about washing as just another routine.

If you want to wash your bed linen in a small machine, you can try throwing one item at a time into the tank.

Step-by-step instruction

A trial run of an automatic washing machine of different brands is carried out almost the same way. Minor differences are reflected in the operating instructions for the specific model, so please read the relevant sections of the brochure before washing for the first time.

In what cases should you contact a specialist?

During the first start-up, the machine is not left unattended. After turning on, listen to the engine: the engine should not growl or grind. Observe the tightness of the hose connections and leaks from under the bottom of the machine.

If the engine runs rhythmically and without excessive noise, there are no leaks, the hoses are connected securely, water is poured and drained without difficulty - the test run was successful. The washing machine can be used for its intended purpose and run any program.

Contact a specialist if the motor makes uncharacteristic sounds, the machine vibrates or moves during operation. The help of a specialist is necessary in case of leaks, especially if puddles flow from under the bottom of the unit.

Important! You cannot fix problems with new equipment yourself. The washing machine is under warranty for a year; service center specialists will fix the faults free of charge.

Recommendations for caring for your washing machine

The average service life of an automatic washing machine is 7–10 years. To ensure that the equipment operates without breakdowns during this time, follow the simple recommendations of specialists.

So, let's look at the question as we complete the basic steps:

• Load laundry into the drum. To make your machine last longer, avoid half-loading, and especially washing just one item. In addition, this way you will save detergents. Try to load only one type of fabric - for example, only bed linens or only terry towels. It is not advisable to wash white and colored linen together, as well as heavy terry and thin fabrics. Check the pockets for wearable items. If any hard objects remain in them, they may damage the fabric and damage the machine itself. Fasten all zippers and buttons.

• Pour (pour) detergents into the appropriate pockets of the drawer section. It is better to use washing powder with reduced foaming. Never put hand washing powder into the machine.
• Connect the machine to the network and set the desired washing program. It depends on the type of laundry and the degree of soiling. Select the water temperature so that it is not too high and not too low: in the first case, dyed items will quickly fade, in the second, they may remain unwashed.
• Start the wash. After it is completed, wait 1-2 minutes, turn off the machine, open the door and remove the laundry. Wipe the drain hole with a dry cloth. Leave the door ajar to allow the drum and tub to dry completely and prevent mold from growing. In addition, remove the detergent compartment from the machine, rinse it and dry it.

And three more important tips:

• Before washing, do not forget to connect the water using the valve on the water pipe! As a result, some car models fail on the first day.
• Approximately 1-2 times a year, do a dry wash with a special anti-scale agent or regular citric acid.

The article offers universal tips for operating a washing machine, which will not only help extend the life of the device, but also save money on water and electricity bills.

Installation

To be sure of the correct operation of the unit, it is better to entrust the installation of equipment to specialists. If your own professionalism is not in doubt, you can try to do it yourself.

• Remove the shipping anchors supporting the drum. This manipulation is very easy to carry out; just take a wrench and unscrew the bolts on the back cover of the equipment.
• Adjust the legs of the equipment. Often they are screwed into the unit using the principle of bolts. To position the legs correctly, you need to place a level on the machine, thus controlling the degree of their height.

Drum loading

To extend the life of the device, you must strictly follow 5 rules:

1. Do not overload the drum. You need to put so much laundry in it so that its quantity does not exceed the maximum permissible weight.
2. Check your pockets. This applies to absolutely all clothes. Items in pockets (matches, small change, seeds, etc.) can get into the holes in the drum and damage the equipment.
3. Fasten zippers and buttons. Be sure to tie your shoelaces. It is better to leave buttons on shirts and other outfits undone.
4. Remove decorative elements. If there are brooches, pins, etc. on clothes, they must be removed before washing.
5. Do not pawn large and small items together. It is wrong to wash sheets with handkerchiefs or socks. Such a mix can lead to imbalance of the device.

Here's a little hint on how much laundry you need to load into the drum, depending on the fabric. The example is shown for 4 machines of the most popular brands.

The table shows that synthetics and wool are used less than cotton. There are reasons for this: wool absorbs water abundantly and increases in volume. As for synthetic items, if you put too much of them, the clothes will be wrinkled and poorly washed.

Using detergents

In automatic washing machines (for example, Zanussi ZWSH7100SS), you must use only special powders. Detergents for hand washing are absolutely not suitable here. They foam a lot, which is why water can get into the electronic modules, spill out, and clog drain pipes. In case of too hard water, be sure to use softening agents.

The required amount of powder is determined by the operating instructions for the washing machine. At the same time, it is equally important to pour the detergent into the correct compartment. There are only three of them in the unit:

1. For pre-washing extremely dirty items.
2. Main wash.
3. Conditioner for odor, softening, antistatic.

If you do not need to remove a large number of stains and dirt from clothes, prewash is not used. In this case, there is no need to pour powder into cell No. 1. This will cause a lot of foaming and will require additional rinsing. The result is unnecessary costs of water and electricity.

Operation in general

The machine is quite simple to use; the housewife only needs to immerse things in the tank, fill it with powder and add hot or warm (cold is also acceptable) water. There are also nuances that the user needs to know in order to have a successful session. Firstly, the design of the device allows you to use even boiling water, but in this case the user should protect himself from burns while handling laundry. Secondly, if the housewife decided to pre-soak things, it is worth keeping the proportion of ½, which means: load things, fill the tank with cold water halfway, and after soaking, add hot water until the tank is full.

It is important to consider the negative specifics of the unit:

Despite the negative effects of washing in such devices, the owners assure that Malyutka often works without specific artifacts, such as deformation of fittings on clothes. Experienced users recommend purchasing specialized powders for this machine and calculating the proportions based on the indicators of the water being poured (hardness, freshness).

Prevention of scale and dirt

You can protect your machine by:

• using softeners for hard water;
• single washes with hot water (no more than once a month);
• temperature control of the routine washing process.

Despite care and proper care, scale still appears? Citric acid (5-6 packs at a time) will help get rid of it. It does not corrode rubber, which means it is absolutely safe for seals. You need to pour the product into the dispenser, running it idle at 90° C.

Cleaning the inlet pump and drain

If you use your washing machine for a long time, it will definitely need cleaning. The first signs indicating the need to clean the drain or inlet pump are interruptions in water supply. Hoses can become clogged with dirt, debris, individual items of clothing (buttons, hair, threads), etc.

Depending on the brand of washing machine (LG, Samsung), the cleaning process may differ. To be sure of the correctness of your actions, you should always use the instruction manual.

Functionality and range of capabilities

The functionality of the Malyutka washing machine is extremely poor, which is compensated by its extremely low price. The machine was conceived as an affordable washing unit that provides only the necessary functions. Using this device, the housewife has the following options:

“Malyutka” does not provide any more opportunities. In addition, you will have to manually fill and drain water into the tank. For such a low price and compact dimensions, it is unlikely that you will find a machine with great functionality on the market.

Tips for use

To make the washed items look like? like new, you can’t rely entirely on the washing machine. The user must do some actions himself, for example, sort the laundry, select a mode, temperature, time (if it is not set automatically). But first things first.

How to sort clothes? Before putting dirty clothes into the drum of the washing machine, you need to review the items, separating:

In addition, it is important to remember that towels are washed independently, just like bed linen, children's textiles, tulle, and workwear. To prevent the laundry from intertwining during washing, turning into a heavy wet lump, you should not put many large and small things in at the same time.

You should always pay attention to clothing labels. The manufacturer indicates very useful information there, which should you adhere to? You will be able to avoid troubles with loss of color or shape.

Which washing mode should I choose?

Here, first of all, you should focus on the fabric of the clothing. The clothing label must indicate the maximum temperature and washing mode. Moreover, in automatic washing machines, after selecting a mode, the technician independently sets the spin cycle, that is, the number of revolutions per minute. Look carefully at this figure, remembering:

• for cotton items - no more than 1400 rpm;
• silk fabrics - maximum 400 revolutions;
• synthetics – up to 600 rpm;
• woolen products and denim – 800 rpm.

If possible, it is better not to exceed these indicators by adjusting the spin cycle to the desired setting.

For particularly soiled items, you should always pre-wash. In addition, fabrics that contain synthetic thread may require an additional rinse to remove any remaining detergent.
