Instructions for Ardo washing machines

For many people, turning on the washing machine may seem easy, but there is no need to rush when using the equipment. People who see a washing machine for the first time, especially a modern model, often cannot immediately figure out how it turns on and how to select modes. Therefore, before you start using the device, you need to carefully read the operating instructions for the machine, even if at first glance it seems that it is quite simple to use. Today, the Ardo model washing machine is in considerable demand. How to use it correctly will be discussed in this article.

Preparing the washing machine for startup

When answering the question of how to use the Ardo washing machine, the first thing you need to figure out is how to accurately connect the device to communications. Thanks to this, the device will work correctly and will not cause problems for the owner. Moreover, if you make a mistake, the washing machine may not turn on at all. For example, if the drain or inlet hose is connected incorrectly, the device will not start or a characteristic message will appear on the display indicating an error.

Attention! Some models of washing machines respond to the floor level, which must be ideal - otherwise the unit will not work or will do so with errors.Therefore, each machine, regardless of model, must be installed on a flat surface.

Compared to the well-known Bosch brand, Ardo washing machines are more unpretentious in terms of water pressure, but they are highly dependent on the network voltage. Therefore, before purchasing this model, you must definitely check the current in the outlet where the equipment will be connected. As a rule, it should be less than 240 volts and more than 210. If your parameters are different, it is better not to buy an ardo a600x or other types of this washing machine model.

After delivering the unit home, you need to follow a number of rules:

• the first step is to unpack it and remove the shipping bolts (how to do this correctly is written in the instructions for the machine);
• make sure that the length of the hoses is sufficient to install the device in the wound place you have prepared;
• connect both types of hoses to the unit as shown in the instructions on the assembly diagram;
• then you should connect the hose intended for filling water to the water supply twin;
• the next step is to secure the hose to the siphon;
• The last thing you need to do is to level the Ardo machine - you can use a level for this, since even a slight tilt can lead to breakage or improper operation of the unit (this is especially common with the Ardo a1000x model).

Attention! When leveling the washer, you need to remember that its level is easy to adjust using the legs.

It is also considered an important criterion that the hose intended for draining must be raised to a height of more than 70 cm - otherwise it will not be possible to ensure normal drainage of waste water.

Professionals advise people who have tiles in their bathroom or kitchen to place a rubber mat under the washing machine. Thanks to this, the device will not slip during spinning, when vibration is observed, and will remain in place, which directly affects its performance and service life.

Attention! The Ardo machine must be connected directly to an outlet, without using tees or extension cords.

Starting the machine before washing clothes for the first time

The operating instructions for the Ardo washing machine contain information that before the first wash it must be “idled”. This means that the owner of the equipment needs to select any mode, pour in a little powder and turn on the device. It is recommended to do this in order to clean the drum and parts of the washing machine from technical oil, dirt and dust.

Correct setting of washing clothes at idle speed:

• close the door of the Ardo machine;
• pour a little detergent into the container intended for the powder (if desired, you can also add fabric softener), and then close it;
• pay attention to the position of the programmer - it must be in the off state;
• press the power button on the device, remembering to connect it to the power supply;
• select the shortest washing mode (usually called “quick wash);
• press the unit's power button (as a rule, it is called Start) - if it is not available on the Ardo machine, you just need to pull the toggle switch towards you, which will lock the door and turn on the time indicator).

After this, the machine will immediately begin to draw water - this means that everything was done correctly.

Attention! The toggle switch with which the mode is selected can only be rotated clockwise: if the required program accidentally slipped through, you need to turn the toggle switch to the required value, and not try to turn it back.

After washing, the device must be turned off by pressing the button labeled Stop or set the programmer to its previous position.

How to turn on the first wash

Starting the first wash is not much different from the previous method of starting the washing machine. However, it is better to consider this algorithm of actions, which will help avoid problems when setting up the wash:

• first of all, you need to place dirty things in the drum, while not forgetting to pay attention to the maximum load of the model (if the weight of the laundry is not taken into account, the machine may stop during spinning or washing, since it will not be able to completely complete the started process;
• When putting laundry in the drum, you must separate it by type of fabric and color, and also remember to take everything out of your pockets, including small debris;
• then you need to pour the powder into a special hole (it is important to note that you should not open the cuvette while the machine is running, as this may lead to water leakage;
• the next step is to check the tap intended for supplying water (it must be open);
• You only need to plug the wire from the Ardo machine into the socket with dry hands;
• after this, you need to select the mode and temperature for washing the clothes - the programmer will help you do this (after selecting the program, some models of the Ardo machine require you to pull it towards you);
• The last step is to click on the “Start” button.

As the wash completes, you need to press the “Stop” button, unplug the cord from the socket, remove the laundry, and leave the door for 15-20 minutes to dry the drum.

As we were able to notice, the launch of Ardo washing machines, regardless of the model, has some features in comparison with other types of this household appliance. For example, they rarely have a “Start” button, but it is replaced by a programmer or another button with this function. Therefore, before starting the washing machine, the manufacturer recommends that you read the instructions for use, which will help to avoid difficulties during operation of the device.

Inscriptions on the washing mashine and their decoding

The manufacturer of these washing machine models tries to reduce the number of inscriptions as much as possible, so it replaces them with special symbols. And if some of them (usually those that are often used) are easy to remember, then others will require decoding.

Based on the type of model (Ardo A600, TL60e, TL400, and so on), the number of device functions may change, but this does not mean that the decoding also changes. You can find out what this or that inscription means in the instructions.

Explanation of some inscriptions on the Ardo washing machine:

1. Cotton. In this case, there will be a box of so-called cotton on the panel of the washing device. This mode is intended for washing cotton-based items, since this material is not afraid of high temperatures and long washing times. As a rule, the program runs for 145-170 minutes at a temperature of 60-90 degrees.
2. Synthetics. She is depicted in the form of a flask. This mode can wash mixed and synthetic materials at the same time. The wash lasts no more than 127 minutes.
3. Express 20.Thanks to the program, you can quickly (in just 20 minutes) wash any lightly soiled items. The water temperature does not exceed 35 degrees.
4. Wool. The icon looks like a ball of thread. This mode is designed for washing wool at low temperatures.
5. Handwash. Gentle mode that perfectly cares for delicate clothes. The washing time in this case is 100 minutes.
6. Daily. The mode is represented by a T-shirt symbol on the washing mashine panel. Using this mode, you can wash things every day, as it wastes a minimum of water and energy. Washing takes no more than half an hour.
7. Sportswear. Washing is carried out at 40 degrees, which allows you to preserve the shape and color of things. Thanks to the program, clothes do not need to be ironed after drying.
8. JEANS mode. Thanks to the low temperature of 40 degrees, it will be possible to avoid discoloration and protect your jeans from shedding. Washing time averages 70 minutes.
9. Spin. If necessary, you can turn it off, or you can select 2 spins, which will allow you to spin the washed items better.

These programs are present on almost every model of Ardo washing machine. Before starting the wash, it is recommended that you read the instructions to learn about all the nuances of the operation of household appliances.
