First launch of the Haier washing machine

First launch of the Haier washing machine When you purchase a new washing machine, you want to start using it as soon as possible. However, there is no need to rush - the first start of the Haier washing machine is carried out in compliance with certain rules. If you ignore the recommendations, you can break the machine on the first day. Let’s figure out how to properly prepare a “home assistant” for work.

Is the machine ready to go?

Before starting the machine, read the instructions for the equipment. The user manual tells you how to connect the washing machine to the house communications and level it. There is also information about the main washing programs and additional functions provided in the intelligence.

Do not forget to remove the transport screws before turning on the automatic machine for the first time.

Transport screws secure the drum of the machine. Due to this, during transportation it does not hit other “insides” of the washing machine. The number and location of bolts are indicated in the instructions for the equipment (on some models there may be four, on others – six). find all the bolts

After removing the transport bolts, plugs are placed in the resulting holes. They come complete with a machine gun. Starting the machine with the transport bolts not removed is prohibited - this can lead to failure of the washing machine. In this situation, it will not be possible to repair the device under warranty, since the breakdown will occur due to the fault of the user.

Before starting for the first time, check that:

all transport bolts are unscrewed from the body;
the machine is correctly connected to utilities;
The washing machine is level;
there is no foam, polyethylene, tools, etc. left in the drum.

After this, you can begin the first wash.First, a test cycle is launched. We'll tell you how to proceed next.

Washing with an empty drum

What is special about test running an automatic machine? It should be done without washing clothes. The first cycle must be performed “idle”.

Each washing machine is inspected at the factory before being put on the market. Also, during the assembly process, parts become dirty with oil, fuel oil, and other technical liquids. All this dust and dirt remains inside the automatic machine.

The first wash is started to rinse the machine from the inside, so the cycle is carried out without laundry.

To avoid spoiling your items, do not throw them into the machine when you first start it. Otherwise, stains may remain on your clothes. The idle cycle will help flush the inside of the washing machine and eliminate unpleasant technical odors.

The algorithm of actions when starting a test cycle will be as follows:

close the hatch door (after making sure that there is nothing in the “centrifuge”);
pour or pour laundry detergent into the dispenser (this can be any concentrate suitable for an automatic washing machine);
connect the washing machine to the electrical network (you cannot use an extension cord, the power cord must be connected directly to the outlet);
use the programmer to select any high-temperature washing mode, lasting from 2 hours;
Click the "Start" button.

Next, you need to observe how the machine performs the first wash. Therefore, do not move far from the device. Look how the machine looks:

collects water into the tank;
spins the drum (when washing, the movement should be slow, when spinning - more intense);
brings water to a given degree (usually heating takes 5-7 minutes);
pumps water out of the system and discharges it into the sewer system.

Also be sure to make sure there are no leaks.Inspect the connection points of the inlet and drain hoses and the body of the machine. See how much the device vibrates during operation. If the washer literally “jumps” around the room, it is most likely not installed correctly.

If you find any problems with the operation of the equipment, interrupt the program and turn off the power to the washing machine. Next, call the service center - if the malfunction is caused by a manufacturing defect, the machine will be repaired free of charge. Some companies refuse warranty repairs when the connection and installation of washing equipment was carried out not by a specialist, but by their own efforts.

There is no point in trying to fix a new machine yourself. In this case, the warranty will definitely be void. It is also prohibited to use a faulty device, it is unsafe. If the automatic machine has calmly completed the test cycle, it means that it is ready for further use. You can throw laundry into the drum and activate the wash.

Start-up powder

Separately, it is worth telling what kind of product is best to use for a test run of an automatic Hayer machine. It is allowed to pour regular powder or gel marked “Automatic” into the cuvette. It is forbidden to take granules for hand washing - they will cause excessive foaming.

If desired, you can purchase a special product for the first cycle of washing machines. For example, Start HLR0054. This composition fights all industrial contaminants and removes unpleasant odors. Helfer Start HLR0054 starting agent

Helfer contains surfactants that can easily cope with fuel oil, grease, oils and other technical fluids. Active substances clean and degrease the internal parts of the machine. The product is suitable for any automatic machines.

The standard application method for Helfer Start HLR0054 is:

pour the product into the dispenser (in the main wash compartment);
select a test wash program;
activate the cycle.

After a test run, the machine can be used for its intended purpose. If necessary, you can run another single cycle by selecting the “Rinse + Spin” option so that the remaining detergent is completely washed out of the washing machine.

Don't forget to take care of your machine

Further operation of the automatic machine should also be carried out taking into account several recommendations. Firstly, you need to properly care for your “home assistant”. What is meant by washing machine care?

Be sure to wipe off excess moisture from the walls and cuff of the drum after each use of the device.
Open the powder receptacle and the machine door slightly when the appliance is turned off to ventilate the washing machine. This will prevent the appearance of mold and mildew.
Periodically wipe the device body from dust.
Clean your washing machine's garbage filter about once a month.
Use only high-quality laundry detergents designed specifically for automatic washing machines.
Before using the powder or gel, look at the packaging to see what the dosage of the product should be.

Proper commissioning and proper maintenance will ensure uninterrupted operation of the automatic machine for the period promised by the manufacturer. Therefore, do not be lazy to study the instructions for the equipment and be sure to follow all recommendations.
