instructions for Ardo A600X The operating instructions for the washing machine allow you not only to familiarize yourself with the rules of operating the equipment, but also the nuances of the machine itself. We offer you a short version of the instructions using the Ardo A600X machine as an example.

Connection

If calling a technician to connect the washing machine is impossible for financial reasons, then you will have to do everything yourself. But when connecting the machine yourself, do not violate the safety requirements and regulations. After all, then you not only risk losing the washing machine, but they will not carry out warranty repairs, since the manufacturer is not responsible for your actions.

How to connect the machine? First remove the transport bolts. They need to be rotated counterclockwise. Keep the bolts, washers and O-rings in case you transport the washing machine again. The instructions in Russian for this machine model tell us that preparation for connection does not end there. It is necessary to completely remove the back wall of the washer in order to remove the transport spacers. Next we screw the wall into place and the job is done.

Next, we need to drag the machine to the prepared installation location. How to properly prepare a place for a washing machine of any model is described in the article Instructions for washing machine Indesit WISL 85, we will not repeat ourselves.

Using an ordinary building level, we level the body, alternately twisting all 4 legs.At the next stage, we will screw one end of the inlet hose to the outlet of the inlet valve, which is located in the upper right corner of the back of the machine body, and the other end to the outlet of the water pipe. There is no need to tighten too much. Please note that the machine will not draw water if the water pressure in the water supply is too low.

Do not forget to insert rubber seals into the hose so that it does not leak under pressure.

At the next stage, we need to screw on the drain hose, one end of which is already attached to the washing machine. There are different options for organizing the drainage of waste water from a washing machine; you can read more about this in the article How to drain into a sewer, and we move on.

Having organized the connection of two hoses, you need to check again that all connections are tight and that there is no water leaking somewhere. If everything is in order, we connect the machine to an electrical outlet and you can check the “home assistant” in operation.

Control panel and dispenser

The Ardo washing machine has a mechanical control panel, which has two switches and five buttons. The extreme selector on the right is needed to select programs, the second selector allows you to set the required water heating temperature.

In the center of the panel there is a warning button indicating whether the machine is on or off.

The button on the panel under the number 7 suggests an additional rinse. Button number 6 is pressed if it is necessary to stop the wash without draining the water from the drum, for example, to soak for a while. The button numbered 3 switches off the spin cycle, that is, at the end of the wash, the water from the tank will simply be drained. Button number 4 allows you to reduce the duration of the washing cycle, making it economical.Button 5 – turns the machine on and off.

The powder dispenser in this washing machine is divided into three compartments. The left compartment is for pre-wash, the next one is for the main wash. Section on the right for rinse aids. You can use both powders and liquid detergents for washing, the main thing is that they are intended for “automatic machines”.

Exploitation

The operation of a new washing machine should begin by running a short program without laundry to clean the drum. Before washing, be sure to check that the water supply tap is open and do not forget to check your clothing pockets and sort your laundry. Starting the wash is done as follows:

Pour the powder according to the dosage into the powder receptacle.
