Program overview

Proper use of a washing machine requires careful study of all washing modes. This is necessary in order to correctly set the program depending on the type of fabric and intensity of contamination.

The most budget Atlant models have at least 15 special modes that allow you to select the optimal washing parameters.

The software of Belarusian machines allows you to work with things made from different fabrics, wool, and even natural and artificial leather. A detailed description of the programs, as well as additional options, is presented in the instructions for the equipment. Let's briefly talk about the main washing modes found on Atlant machines.

  • Synthetics. Such fabrics are easily deformed and subject to shedding. Therefore, in this mode the liquid is heated to a maximum of 60°C; you can also choose 40°C. The program takes approximately 2 hours to complete, spinning at maximum speed.
  • Delicate. Mode for washing clothes made of silk, satin, cashmere and other “sensitive” fabrics. The cycle lasts about an hour, the water warms up to 40 degrees. Spinning is not provided, the drum rotates slowly and gently.
  • Prewash. It starts when things are very dirty. The machine will start the preparatory wash first and then the main wash. It is important not to forget to pour the powder into the second section of the tray.
  • Intensive wash. Suitable for clothes made of durable fabrics that are not subject to deformation. The water is heated to 95°C, the cycle lasts 2 hours. It starts when you need to remove old or difficult to remove stains from your laundry.

  • Baby clothes. The program is ideal for washing “baby” accessories – diapers, panties, undershirts. The water warms up to high temperatures. A long rinse is also provided to completely wash away the powder particles.
  • Sport. The mode was created for processing suits and sets for sports training. Sneakers and sneakers can also be thrown into the drum for cleaning.
  • Combi wash. When running this program, you don’t have to pre-sort your laundry. Suitable for both cotton and synthetic fabrics. But you still need to monitor the color of things to prevent light-colored clothes from staining.
  • Night wash. Provides for turning off all sound signals, reducing noise and vibrations.
  • Biophase. The mode starts if an organic or protein stain is placed on the fabric, namely from wine, cosmetics, plants, etc. It is very difficult to remove it, but using this program and enzyme, it is quite possible.
  • Easy ironing. A weakened spin cycle is assumed, as a result of which the clothes remain slightly damp, which makes subsequent ironing easier.
  • Rinsing. Things are cleaned of any remaining soap solution. Detergent compounds are removed not only from above, but also from inside the fabric fibers.
  • Spin. If at the end of the program the laundry is very damp, you can start spinning again. The process will last approximately 5 minutes.

Before using the washing machine, it is better to carefully study the instructions and understand the characteristics of each mode. You should also understand what additional options and features are available in your Atlanta. This will help achieve maximum washing effect.

Preparing for work

After a general introduction, it’s time to answer the question - how to use the Atlant washing machine.

Connection

Connecting a washing machine

In order for the unit to last longer, it is necessary, first of all, to study the procedure for preparing it for operation. First you need to properly connect to the electrical network, water supply and sewerage.

  1. connection to the electrical network. First you need to make sure that the network parameters meet the current standard. First of all, this relates to the voltage level. If it differs from the passport conditions, then you need to think about installing a stabilizer. Otherwise, the machine may quickly fail. If the machine is connected via an extension cord, then you should remember that it must withstand power in the range of 2500-3000 W;
  2. connection to the water supply network. Everything is simple here. Typically a plumbing tee is used for this. You just need to take into account that a cleaning filter and faucet must be installed along the flow of water. The length of the water hose does not matter;
  3. sewer connection. To drain water, you can use two options: temporary or permanent connection. For temporary drainage, use a bathtub, sink or washbasin. For this, a special hose is used, the end of which resembles a hook. In this case, the height of rise of drain water should be within 60-90 cm.

For a permanent connection, a special intermediate drain siphon or the sewer siphon itself can be used. Connection diagrams are given in the operating instructions. It is very important to maintain the recommended distances when installing the drain. Otherwise, the water will not drain, or dirt from the drain hose may get inside the working housing.

Preparing the machine for washing

The quality of washing will depend on the correct choice of program and detergents. The mode is selected by turning the corresponding knob or pressing the required key. Typically, preparation for washing occurs in the following order:

  • load the laundry item. It should be remembered that the door must be tightly closed;
  • fill the appropriate dispenser cells with powder, bleach or rinse aid;
  • press the power button;
  • set the selected required operating mode;
  • press the “Start/Pause” button.

The work process will be reflected on the display. The software interface is written in Russian. Therefore, it is not difficult to control the workflow. The end of the work process is accompanied by an audible alarm.

Exploitation

Exploitation

In order for the Atlant washing machine to work as long as possible, it is necessary to follow the operating rules. They are simple, but the service life of the unit depends on them.

Cleaning

This procedure must be carried out regularly. It is advisable to carry out cleaning after completing each work process. To clean it safely, you should first disconnect it from the electrical network and close the water supply tap. Then thoroughly wipe all external surfaces. It is necessary to handle plastic and rubber parts only with a damp soft cloth. The contour seal can only be cleaned with a dry, soft cloth.

It is necessary to inspect the door seal, and if dirt has accumulated on it, this should also be removed. Then remove the dispenser tray and rinse its outer and inner parts under running warm water.

Carefully inspect the drum, and if there are rust stains left on it, transferred from clothing, they must be removed with means for cleaning stainless steel items. Do not use aggressive chemicals or abrasives for cleaning.

Cleaning filters in the water intake system

The machine has two filters: one in the supply hose, the other in the connecting pipe. They should be cleaned annually. It is necessary to rinse with a stream of running water using a brush.

Cleaning the pump filter

It is designed to protect the water path and pump from lint and threads torn from clothing. There may also be loose small objects in the drum, such as buttons or coins. The frequency of cleaning should be once every six months. In addition, the filter should be cleaned after each wash of fluffy items. To do this, you must first drain the water from the pump. Then remove the filter, remove debris from it and rinse with running water.

Some useful tips:

  • To prevent the machine from running away from its place during operation, and especially during spinning, it is recommended to place a rubber mat under it;
  • It is advisable not to use the maximum temperature mode. At high temperatures, scale may form. Especially if the water supply is of poor quality. To heat the water to the maximum temperature (90 degrees), additional time is needed. Considering that the power of the heating elements is 2500 W, during this time the contacts become very hot, which can lead to their overheating and, as a result, breakage. Frequent operation at elevated temperatures can also damage the relay in the heating element control circuit;
  • for the purpose of ventilation, after finishing washing, it is recommended to leave the loading hatch and the container for detergents open for a while;
  • Use only well-tested detergents.
