Auto-cleaning mode in the Ariston washing machine

Each type of household appliance needs preventive measures. Some automatic washing machines equipped with a special function that activates the self-cleaning mode, eliminating grease and dirt. Today we will figure out how auto-cleaning is performed in an Ariston washing machine.

How to activate auto cleaning mode

The washing machine drum needs an annual service. If the unit operates frequently, autocleaning is activated several times. After this, the quality of the process meets the standard, and the machine remains operational for a long time.

To clean a unit that has an auto-clean function, you must turn on this program and wait for it to complete. It must be remembered that you will not remove scale with this procedure.

To use the auto-clean function, you must perform the following steps:

remove the items in it from the drum;
close the loading door, activate the “power” button;
If your washing equipment does not have a special auto-cleaning function, press the key with an asterisk on it and hold it for up to three seconds. The display will show “tei”, indicating that the drum cleaning process has begun;
After this message appears, press the “start” button to activate the mode. At the same time, the pre-wash LED lights up;
The washing device cleans the drum within one and a half hours.

As soon as auto-cleaning is completed, the unit is disconnected from the power supply and the door is opened for drying.

The SMA is cleaned inside, getting rid of lint, hair and small debris. The unit operates in water heating mode up to sixty degrees, performs one and a half thousand rotations per minute, so purchased or improvised cleaning products are not required.

From the point of view of the operation of the SMA, the auto-cleaning process looks like this:

Pre-wash is performed first;
the main process is carried out;
The main and additional rinse with spin begins.

Washing machine manufacturing companies, it is not recommended to use chemical compounds and especially descaling agents and washing powders when auto-cleaning the system. The fact is that their use is associated with the formation of a large amount of foam, which can cause the machine to leak.

Many machine models are equipped with a special button that activates cleaning. It is forbidden to run such a program if there are things in the drum, because the machine will have to accelerate to the maximum number of revolutions, the drum with things will move unevenly and make sudden movements. The washing machine will malfunction.

How to start self-cleaning of an Ariston washing machine

In progress operating Ariston, like other models, becomes clogged with debris that gets inside from the water pipe, and with scale that settles on the internal parts of the Ariston unit and its water heating element.

To avoid accidental breakdowns, the Ariston washing machine needs to be cleaned. Its functionality provides for this mode, but not every user knows how to activate it.

Actions are performed in the following sequence:

the laundry inside is removed from the drum;
the powder receptacle opens;
a latch is pressed in its center, and the tray for detergent compositions is removed. This measure will improve access of powder to the Ariston machine;
Calgon is poured into the hole.

We activate the cleaning process by pressing the “quick wash” and “re-rinse” buttons. We track the symbols appearing on the screen. The letters AUE appear first, followed by UEO, and finally EOC.

You will hear a squeak in the Ariston washing machine, the hatch will be locked. Water will begin flowing into the drum. This means that the Ariston machine was launched successfully and the function worked.

Using this program, Ariston equipment cleanses heating element scale, cleans hoses from possible blockages, disinfects the drum, and eliminates mold present inside. If such activities are carried out regularly, the Ariston machine will serve you for a long period.
