How to use the Ariston washing machine correctly? User manual

The durability and reliability of any mechanical device largely depends on following all the recommendations specified in the instructions. The washing machine has long become an integral attribute of any modern home. Let us consider in detail how to use an Ariston washing machine, what are the main features of the device, how one mode differs from another, and what are the general rules for operating the unit.

Operating modes of the Ariston washing machine

Ariston washing machines have many models that differ not only in design, but also in functionality. Each of the existing washing modes allows you to select special conditions that effectively clean the product without harming it. According to the instructions, the basic washing programs are:

• Cotton – designed to work with thick items made from cotton. It features high heating temperatures and a high number of spin speeds. Effectively copes with both minor dirt and long-standing stains. Includes standard and intensive modes.
• Synthetics - uses low heating temperatures, and the spin rate is slightly reduced due to the ability of synthetic fabrics to quickly lose color and become deformed.
• Mix 30 / Mix 15 / Quick Wash 60 / Quick Wash 30 – designed to freshen things up, but does not remove serious stains. It is characterized by low water temperature and high RPM. Cleaning time takes 30, 15 and 60 minutes respectively.

Manufacturers of Ariston washing machines took care of their consumers and, in addition to the basic ones, included many special modes in the device. Their characteristics are indicated in more detail in the instructions supplied with the washing machine. Let's look at their features and the main differences between each other:

• Antibacterial cycle - goes through two rinsing stages, has a high spin speed and effectively fights detergent residues, germs and mites.
• Night – the program is aimed at virtually silent operation and consumption of a minimum amount of water and electricity. To drain and spin, you must press the “Start” button again.
• Children's clothes - as in the case of the antibacterial program, it involves the use of more water and directs the action to actively rinse the remaining powder from the material.
• Silk – intended for delicate, thin and delicate items. A small heating rate is used and does not involve spinning.
• Wool – used for cashmere and wool items that require special conditions. The water heats up slightly, the drum rotates slowly, and the spin cycle is no more than 600 revolutions.

According to the instructions, you can additionally set the Ariston to rinse, normal and delicate spin, and drain. They will contribute to more thorough cleaning, leaching of detergent or obtaining almost dry clothes at the end.

How to start a wash in an Ariston washing machine?

Before starting washing in the Ariston washing machine, you need to understand all the buttons that exist on the operating panel. For these purposes, the operating instructions for the mechanism will be useful.

Plug in the Ariston machine and make sure the water supply valve is open. Throw all the necessary items into the drum and close the lid tightly. Place liquid or dry powder and, if necessary, rinse aid, conditioner, and stain remover in the detergent container.

The next stage of preparation will be choosing a mode. According to the instructions, select the most suitable program and turn it on. If no program provides the necessary conditions, you can manually set all the necessary parameters. To do this, use the rotary selector located on the panel of the washing device. When all cleaning conditions have been set, click “Start”.

It is not advisable to stop the Ariston machine. If the electricity or water in the house is turned off, it will continue the process as soon as the problems are resolved. If you still urgently need to turn off the device, do not unplug it from the power supply under any circumstances. Use the special button located on the panel.

Basic recommendations for working with Ariston washing machines

The instructions supplied with the product do not always explain all the nuances regarding its operation.There are several general recommendations for working with Ariston washing machines that will help extend the life of the mechanism and ensure its high-quality operation without breakdowns:

• The washing machine must be placed on a flat floor so that the body does not move during the spin cycle.
• There is no need to load the drum halfway or turn on the Ariston unit at all for the sake of one product. This will lead to wear and tear on the working system.
• You should also not overload the drum, so as not to put too much stress on the washing machine.
• If things are not persistent and seriously soiled, use heating no higher than 30 degrees to save on electricity supply.
• It is advisable that the spin level vary from 600 to 800 rpm. With constant active operation of the machine drum, the condition of the oil seal and bearings deteriorates.
• Do not pour a lot of powder into the container so that a large amount of foam does not form during the washing process.
• Turn the selector exclusively clockwise.
• Do not forget to take care of the hatch cover and wipe it dry at the end of the process. Otherwise, plaque will accumulate on the glass, this will deteriorate the condition of the rubber, and liquid will seep under the cuffs. The drum of the Ariston machine and the rubber should also be dried with a rag.
• After finishing work, disconnect the device from the network and close the water supply tap. This will eliminate wiring problems that arise during electrical failures.
• Also, after carrying out all the cleaning procedures, open the powder containers slightly to allow the washing machine to ventilate.
• Check the drain filter from time to time.
• The Ariston machine needs periodic cleaning to remove plaque, small dirt and solid particles.Once every month or two, run a dry wash with a small amount of descaler in the dispenser. In this case, the water heating rate should be maximum - it is written in the instructions.

General recommendations for washing clothes in Ariston machines

Before you start working with the Ariston washing machine, you should repeat several rules for high-quality washing of clothes:

• Always check product labels for instructions before cleaning.
• Separate white, black and colored from each other.
• Do not wash items that differ in composition together: cotton, synthetics, denim, lace - they should all be washed separately.
• Fasten clothing with buttons, snaps, and snaps before loading everything into the drum.
• Do not place bras and items that contain small parts: beads, rhinestones, hooks, etc. in the Ariston washing machine.
• Old or stubborn stains must be pre-treated with stain remover before being placed in the drum.
• Use softeners, conditioners, rinses and other detergents that improve cleaning quality.
