How to use a Hi washing machine

Almost all modern washing machines have a similar design, control principle, set of programs and other parameters. Because of this, any housewife only needs to use one machine a little in order to understand the principle of operation of almost any other “home assistant”. Using the Hi washing machine is as easy as any other washing machine, so if you already had an automatic washing machine at home, then you can easily figure out your new purchase. It’s a completely different matter if a person has never encountered such devices before. For them, as well as for all those who want to refresh their knowledge, we will tell you in detail about the use of products of this brand, distributed in Eldorado stores.

Test launch of equipment

First of all, after purchasing a new household appliance, you should always carefully study the official instructions. It provides all the necessary information about the operation of the device, starting with an explanation of the icons on the control panel and a description of all operating cycles, ending with recommendations and precautions that should be observed during washing. Carefully reading the user manual will help you always get perfectly clean laundry, as well as prevent breakdowns of household appliances.

Please note that before washing dirty laundry for the first time, you must run an idle cycle without clothes. This is necessary in order to clean the insides of the machine from factory grease, dust, dirt and other foreign debris that may have remained during storage of the equipment in the warehouse.To do this, you need to make sure that there are no foreign objects in the drum, add an effective detergent to the powder receptacle, and then activate any long cycle with high water heating. After a successful check, you can proceed with standard washing.

• Connect the machine to the network.
• Load dirty clothes into the drum without exceeding the minimum and maximum load.
• Close the door until you hear a characteristic click, which will inform the user that the lock has engaged.
• Add the household chemicals needed for a specific wash to the detergent dispenser.
• Activate the washing machine using the power button.
• Select the desired washing mode using the program selector.
• If necessary, configure additional work cycle parameters, such as spin speed, water heating and others.
• Start the work using the “Start/Pause” button.

This is where the actions of the SM owner end, since the household appliances will do all the rest of the work themselves. It will quickly fill the water, clean the clothes during the main wash, as well as the pre-wash if it was activated, then rinse and spin the items. When everything is finished, the device will inform the user about this with a characteristic sound signal. You will be able to remove the laundry in a few minutes, when the automatic locking of the hatch is turned off.

Typical machine algorithms Hi

Operating a Hi washing machine is a pleasure if the owner knows exactly what to do. To do this, you should carefully read the instructions and memorize the basic washing modes, as well as additional functions that make life much easier. It is also worth remembering the purpose of the programs because among them there are both universal and special ones, necessary for specific types and colors of fabric. Use them wisely to improve the condition of your favorite items rather than ruin your expensive clothes. Let us highlight the main work cycles.

• Cotton. Program for working with cotton, calico and linen, e.g. pajamas, shirts, towels, bed linen and so on. In this mode, the machine heats the water to 60-90 degrees Celsius, accelerates the drum to maximum speed during spinning, and washes for 90 to 150 minutes.

The duration of programs differs in different SM models, so it is better to look for this indicator in the instructions.

• Synthetics. A cycle for processing clothes made of synthetic and mixed fabrics, allowing you to effectively clean artificial fibers. In order not to damage things, the water is heated only to 40-60 degrees, and the duration is only 60-120 minutes. As for the spin cycle, it also takes place at maximum speed.
• Preliminary. The function is activated in a situation where extremely dirty items need to be soaked. When this option is enabled, the machine soaks the clothes for about an hour, and then processes them during the main washing stage. To effectively remove heavy soiling, do not forget to add detergent not only to the main wash compartment, but also to the pre-wash tray.
• Delicate. Special mode for working with delicate fabrics such as silk, satin, lace and organza. On this program, the washing machine spins the drum very slowly, uses more liquid and heats it only to 30 degrees Celsius. Duration is approximately 60 minutes.
• Intense.The complete opposite of the other mode on the list - it immediately heats the water to 95 degrees, sharply rotates the drum and lasts about 120 minutes, during which it effectively removes the most serious contaminants. It is recommended to treat only durable fabrics that can withstand intense friction and high temperatures in this way.
• Express. A program for quickly cleaning lightly soiled clothes, which takes only 15-45 minutes. Allows you to quickly refresh things in water heated to 30-40 degrees Celsius.
• Children's room. A special mode for baby's clothes, which allows you to clean dirty things and get rid of residual household chemicals that can cause irritation. The machine achieves this effect thanks to abundant rinsing, intense rotation of the drum and high water temperature.

This feature is also great for people with allergies.

• Sports. A separate cycle for cleaning sportswear, shoes, thermal underwear and other things made of membrane, spandex and stretch. Allows you to get rid of dirt and the smell of sweat, but does not damage the fabric, maintaining its beneficial properties.
• Night. A special wash for working at night, allowing you not to wake up family members, since the cycle runs without sound signals or loud spinning of the laundry.
• Biophase. A special mode for removing organic contaminants. To use it, you need to load household chemicals based on enzymes into the powder receptacle.
• Easy ironing. Option to make ironing much easier. It features smooth drum rotation and slow spinning, which is why clothes hardly wrinkle during washing, remaining slightly damp.
• Rinsing. A function for an additional rinsing step is needed to better rinse the detergent from the fabric fibers.
• Spin.The ability to separately wring out items if they remain wet after the first cycle. Duration is approximately 5 minutes.

The presence or absence of modes depends solely on the Hi washing machine model, so don’t be surprised if your “home assistant” has fewer or more work cycles. You can find out the details of a particular program in the user manual. Don’t be lazy to look at the manual more often, because with it, operating the washing machine will not only be easier, but even more efficient and safer.
