How to use the Biryusa washing machine?

How to use the Biryusa washing machine It is very easy to understand the structure of a modern washing machine, because household appliances are specially designed to be intuitive. Using the Biryusa washing machine is also very simple, especially if you have previously used an automatic “home assistant” from other brands. We will analyze in detail the machine from the domestic company Biryusa, so that new users will not have any questions about the correct operation of this SM.

Put the equipment into operation correctly

Before starting the wash, you should always study the official instructions and prepare the equipment for use. In the user manual you can find an explanation of the icons on the dashboard, a detailed description of all operating cycles, as well as rules for operating the device, subject to which the machine and clothes will always be safe. That's why you shouldn't ignore useful background information that won't take much time to read.

You should also not skip the test cycle, which will demonstrate that the household appliances are working properly. To do this, you need to select any program with a high washing temperature, load the necessary detergents into the unit, but do not add dirty items to the drum. This will allow you not only to evaluate the performance of the device, but also to clean it of factory grease, dust and other debris that may interfere with a complete wash. How to wash clothes when the dry cycle is complete?

Reconnect the washing machine to the power supply, sewerage and water supply if all communications were disconnected after the test.
Add dirty laundry to the drum.

Never exceed the maximum load capacity and try not to wash loads that are too small to prevent the drum from becoming unbalanced.

Close the door tightly until you hear a characteristic click.
Load the powder receptacle with household chemicals.
Activate CM with the power button.
Select duty cycle.
Activate additional functions if they are needed for a specific wash.
Start the wash using the Start/Pause button.

This completes your work, because the “home assistant” will do the rest. After activating the wash, the machine will draw water, wash the clothes, rinse them, spin them, pour the waste liquid into the sewer, and then notify you that the work has completed with a special sound signal. Once the washing is complete, all you have to do is wait a few minutes until the equipment unlocks the hatch, take out clean clothes and hang them out to dry.

Let's examine the machine tray

The powder receptacle of the Biryusa washing machine works on the same principle as the detergent trays of other washing machines, so it is very easy to understand. If you have not used automatic SMs before, our brief instructions will help you.

In total, the tray consists of three compartments, each of which is intended for different household chemicals.

The compartment with the Roman numeral “I” is necessary for the preliminary washing phase. You need to add products for pre-soaking modes. If you are using a work cycle without a preliminary step, then you do not need to add anything to this department.
The compartment with the Roman numeral “II” is the main washing compartment, because it is necessary to load detergent into it for the main wash.Depending on the situation and your preferences, you need to add washing powder or washing gel to this compartment, which will then be used for the main stage of the work cycle.
Finally, a small compartment with a schematic image of a flower is necessary for various additional products, for example, for air conditioning, chemicals for water softening, and so on.

Under no circumstances add washing powders and gels to the last compartment, otherwise after finishing the job you will end up with clothes with traces of detergents.

As you can see, understanding the structure of the powder receiver is very simple. There are only a few compartments, each of them is designed for different purposes, plus they all look different, so it’s difficult to confuse them.

Temperature and program

We have figured out how the detergent tray works, now we will study the temperature conditions and basic washing programs. Biryusa brand technology can heat water to temperatures from 20 to 90 degrees Celsius. Let's decide how to wash at the indicated temperatures.

Washing at 90 degrees Celsius is suitable for the most soiled clothes, for whites and non-patterned items made of cotton and linen, such as tablecloths, towels, bed linen and so on.
A working cycle with a temperature of 60 degrees is suitable for moderately soiled items and colored items made from linen, cotton, and synthetic fabrics without a tendency to discoloration.
Finally, processing at temperatures from 20 to 40 degrees Celsius will allow you to clean lightly soiled items, white clothes without a pattern, linen, synthetics, wool, etc., which require regular washing.

In addition to different temperature conditions, household appliances boast a variety of washing programs. We list the most common modes that housewives use most often.

Intensive. It is characterized by increased duration and overall intensity of work, which allows you to increase the efficiency of the cycle. It is recommended to choose the program for baby’s clothes, as well as items with stubborn stains and other serious dirt.
Cotton. Designed for long and intensive washing of cotton products. Experts recommend using this cycle for everyday washing of clothes and bed linen.
Fast. Created specifically to quickly refresh lightly soiled items in low temperature conditions.
Synthetics. The mode is similar to the clap program, only the intensity and duration are slightly reduced. The cycle is needed for cleaning items made of synthetic fabrics, sensitive materials, curtains, as well as products made from openwork fabrics.

If you are going to wash knitted items in this mode, then you should reduce the amount of household chemicals, which will help maintain the shape of the clothes.

Wool. Another highly targeted cycle, this time specifically for woolen and wool-blend items that can be processed in an automatic washing machine. Be sure to first study the label of the wool product - this will make sure that it can be washed in this way, and will also help determine the permissible temperature regime.
Delicate. The mode has a reduced washing intensity and a low drum rotation speed. Suitable for items made of delicate fabrics that may become unusable during standard washing cycles.
Eco-friendly.Can take place at temperatures of 40 or 60 degrees Celsius. Suitable for treating moderately soiled white or non-fading colored cotton items, as well as clothing made from synthetic fabrics. The cycle is characterized by low energy consumption, but high duration.
Mode for bulky items. Designed specifically for thick items that are large in size, such as blankets, duvet covers, winter clothes and so on. Washing takes place at a temperature of 40 degrees, before which the items should be evenly distributed in the drum so that during operation they do not gather into one large voluminous lump.
Jeans. Special cycle for denim at 60 degrees Celsius. Experts advise turning your clothes inside out before starting work and using a liquid gel or laundry capsule instead of washing powder.
Children's. Suitable for thorough processing of baby's clothes, as well as diapers at a temperature of 60 degrees. It is better not to wash children's clothes together with other items.
Sports. The mode is designed for shoes and special sportswear, which are cleaned at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. The equipment manufacturer advises washing one or two pairs of shoes in one cycle, but no more.
Ending in. This is a program for processing mixed items with normal soiling at a temperature of 40 degrees. The main feature of the cycle is the ability to choose the optimal time to complete the wash.

The duration of the washing programs can be found in the instructions.

Preliminary. Such soaking is necessary for the dirtiest items with stubborn stains that cannot be removed during standard washing.
Additional rinse.Allows you to better remove household chemicals from clothing fibers, which may be especially important for families with small children, as well as allergy sufferers. Great for baby clothes and thick items such as winter jackets, blankets and so on.
Mixed fabrics. The mode is needed for processing items made from mixed fabrics with a normal degree of soiling at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.
Cleaning the drum. A special cycle for thorough cleaning and sterilization of the washing machine drum at high temperature. The program should not be used for processing clothing, because it is only suitable for technical purposes. Before starting, you should add household chemicals to clean the equipment to achieve better results.

The described modes are found in most household appliances, but some of them may not be present in budget SM models.

Getting to know the control panel

Don’t rush to start the wash, because you should still carefully examine the dashboard of your new “home assistant.” Biryusa's control panel is extremely simple, consisting of a program selector and only 4-6 keys. The classic panel looks like this:

mode switch knob;
key to activate the pre-wash mode, suitable for the most dirty items;
a key to turn on an additional rinse, which will allow you to completely wash out household chemicals from your laundry;
a key for the no-spin mode, necessary for items made from delicate types of fabrics that are prohibited from being wrung out due to the high risk of damage;

When this mode is activated, you will have to independently remove moisture from freshly washed items.

above the button for washing without spinning there is an indicator of the hatch door block, which lights up after the SM starts working;
a key for starting and pausing work, which allows you to start the wash or temporarily stop it, if necessary. Using a pause, you can soak things before washing - to do this, you need to start the work cycle, wait about 10 minutes and press “Pause / Start”. When things have been in this form for a long time, you need to press the same key again so that the washer continues the cycle. This procedure will greatly improve the cleaning of excessively dirty clothes;
Finally, above the pause and start button there is a child lock mode indicator. This function is needed to activate a block that will prevent children from accidentally changing the settings of the current work cycle. To activate the unit, during washing you need to hold down the keys for 3 seconds for additional rinsing and no spin until a characteristic sound signal appears. You can disable blocking during the work cycle in the same way.

It is also worth noting the function of muting the sound signal, for which there is no special indicator on the control panel. To enable this mode, after activating the “home assistant” you need to hold down the pre-wash key for 3 seconds. To return the sound notification, you need to do the same.
