How to turn on the Atlant washing machine?

Modern washing machines attract with clear controls, and Atlant does not lag behind its competitors. It is enough to read the user manual once to figure out what to press and where to put it. If you previously had a machine from a different brand, then there will definitely not be any problems. For those who want to be on the safe side, we will tell you in more detail how to turn on the Atlant washing machine, set up the program and start the first cycle. Let us also recall the basic rules for operating equipment.

Start-up before commissioning

If you follow the instructions, there will be no problems turning on the machine. The main thing is to comply with all the manufacturer’s requirements. The most important thing is to install the equipment correctly, choosing a hard and flat surface for its placement. Be sure to remove the shipping bolts, which fix the tank in a stationary position, protecting it from imbalance during transportation. It is forbidden to run the washing machine with a “sealed” drum - this will lead to severe mechanical damage. The installation is completed by connecting to communications.

Before starting the Atlant washing machine for the first time, be sure to read the factory instructions!

Having checked the readiness of the machine, we begin to act and start the first “idle” cycle.

Checking the drum. The first cycle starts without laundry: open the door, check if there are any forgotten items inside, and close the hatch tightly.
Add detergent.
We connect to the power grid. Insert the power cord into the outlet.
Let's start the cycle. Press the power button, turn the programmer to the desired program and click on “Start”.

If, after activating the “Start” button, the machine does not start working, you should check the door. Most likely, the UBL, electronic locking, did not work. It is necessary to open and close the hatch again until you hear a click.

The first start of the machine is carried out without laundry!

We repeat once again that the first cycle runs “idle”: with detergent, but without laundry. Such a move will cleanse the equipment of factory lubricant and remove the “chemical” smell. Another “plus” is that you can check the functionality of the washing machine without risking your clothes. Therefore, we monitor the behavior of the machine to see if there are any extraneous noises, sudden stops, “freezes” and other suspicious failures.

“Forcing” the machine to wash

After a successful first start, you can wash your clothes. In this case, you will have to figure out how to not only turn on the machine correctly, but also set up a washing mode suitable for the laundry. Numerous buttons and lights on the dashboard of a modern Atlant can easily confuse even an experienced housewife. There is no need to press at random - it is better to decipher all the icons and abbreviations.

Open the instructions and see which button means what. As a rule, each washing machine model has a set of basic modes with already configured cycle parameters. You can guess the purpose of the program by its name: “Wool” – for woolen items, “Cotton” – for cotton linen and towels, and “Delicate” – an analogue of hand washing.

So, in general, the cycle starts like this:

plug the machine into the socket;
open the water supply;
put laundry in the drum;
close the hatch tightly;
add detergent;
press the “Power on” button;
use the selector to select the mode;
click “Start”.

After finishing washing, the machine will beep.But you won’t be able to open the hatch right away - the electronic locking is removed only after 2-4 minutes.

Where to add the powder?

Detergent is also added according to the instructions. First of all, we monitor the dosage: on average, it is recommended to make a calculation based on the proportion of 100 grams per 5-7 kg of things. If you add less, the stains will not be washed off; if you add more, foaming will increase and things will not have time to rinse. It is better not to act “by eye”, but to use a special measuring cup or spoon.

When adding detergent, watch the dosage!

Now let's figure out where and what to add. Open the tray by pulling it towards you and inspect the existing compartments. Pour powder into the largest one, marked “I” or “A”, and pour conditioner or rinse aid into the central one, marked “*”. Compartment “II” or “B” is intended only for the “Prewash” mode.

When using other types of detergents, gel capsules or cleaning wipes, you must follow the manufacturer's recommendations. These devices are added directly to the drum, and in what quantities is indicated on the packaging.

Don't harm the equipment

Anyone can figure out how to turn on the Atlant washing machine - everything is simple and intuitive. The main thing is not to neglect the basic rules for use and care when using equipment. A responsible approach will help keep things intact and extend the life of the machine.

We are talking about the following recommendations:

monitor drum loading standards (each Atlant model has both a minimum and a maximum weight);
after finishing washing, wipe the machine drum, leave the door and powder receptacle open (free air conditioning will prevent the appearance of mold);
do not store heavy objects on the top cover of the washing machine;
do not change the cycle settings after the machine has already started washing (sudden changes will lead to failure);
add softeners if the water is too hard;
buy quality detergents;
put special anti-vibration attachments on the machine’s legs.

Knowing the basic rules and recommendations, you can easily run the first and subsequent washes in Atlanta. The main thing is not to forget about the instructions and if you suspect a breakdown, contact the service center.
