Rules for safe use

  1. Remember that a washing machine is an excellent conductor of electricity due to its metal parts. Therefore, when removing the plug from the outlet, hold it by the rubberized housing. Avoid touching the cord, as it may become damaged. And never touch the plug while the machine is running.
  2. The washing machine is quite heavy and contains many dangerous components. Supervise children and keep them away from the washing machine while it's running.
  3. Remember that laundry detergents and fabric softeners are hazardous chemicals. Keep these items out of the reach of children and pets.
  4. After unpacking the washing machine, discard all packaging materials. They may be dangerous to animals and children.
  5. Be aware of the explosion hazard. Do not wash items that have been soaked in gasoline or other flammable substances. Hand wash them first.

Please note! In addition to the explosion hazard, washing items soaked in solvent can create a pungent odor that will be difficult to remove with subsequent washes in the same washing machine.

The washing process

  1. We open the water supply using the water tap;
  2. We plug the machine into the network;
  3. We sort the laundry and load it into the drum;
  4. Add washing substances: the main compartment is for powder, the right compartment is for pre-wash powder, the left compartment is for fabric softener.

Note! Thick laundry detergents should be diluted with water. This will help prevent clogged drain holes and damage to the machine.

  1. Turn the switch in any direction to select a program;
  2. Select additional features as needed;
  3. After finishing washing, unload the laundry, unplug the washing machine and turn off the water to avoid leaks.

Selecting additional functions

As noted in point 6, you can select additional washing functions. These include:

  • Delayed start option. Enable this feature, and your wash will start at your preferred time.
  • Spin adjustment. You can adjust the spin speed both in advance and during the wash cycle.
  • "Stains" function. Extends the wash cycle for heavily soiled items.
  • Pre-wash. First, warm the items with warm water. Avoiding temperature fluctuations will help prevent deformation.
  • Easy ironing. Reduce the washing intensity. Items will not have severe creases.
  • Adding water. Simply put, this is another extra rinse.

Important little things

Treat your washing machine and your items with care. Before washing, check pockets, close zippers, remove any hard hardware, and place small items in a laundry bag. Immediately after purchase, run an empty wash cycle (without laundry). Add detergent and a liter of water. Select a temperature no higher than 60 degrees Celsius and a no-spin cycle.

Do not bleach items in the washing machine or dye them with special products. This may damage the interior components.
