Negative sides:

The machine does not work well during the spin cycle. The waste liquid is discharged according to the class “D” standard, and this is one of the lowest indicators. The laundry does not dry completely. In addition, in some models the spin process causes significant vibrations of the entire body. This often leads to the unauthorized movement of the unit from its previous installation point;
motors are used only of the commutator type. They are inferior in durability and efficiency to inverter models. And this leads to additional energy consumption;
The machine does not have a foam sensor. This can lead to flooding and a number of other breakdowns;
design flaws. For example, opening a hatch causes water to splash onto the floor. Due to insufficient density, debris may get trapped between the drum and the fins.

In addition, the washing mashine has other minor but unpleasant shortcomings.

Operating modes

You have to wash various things, even those that require delicate handling when removing dirt manually. The software allows you to work with things made from various fabrics, wool and even leather.

Setting a particular function indicates the following types of washing:

cotton. This could be bed linen, towels and other everyday items. Water temperature can range from 60 to 95 degrees. It depends on the density of the fabric and the model of the item. The duration of the process ranges from 90-150 minutes;
synthetic fabrics. They are subject to deformation and shedding. Therefore, the software function sets the water temperature not exceeding 60 degrees. The process time is set within 110 minutes, and the spin is set to intense;
delicate. This mode allows you to process items made of silk, wool, cashmere and other fabrics. The process occurs at a water temperature of 40 degrees and lasts within 55-60 minutes. The drum rotates slowly and the spin is turned off;
preliminary. This mode is used when there is heavy contamination. To do this, the machine performs a pre-wash first and then a main wash. Before starting this function, it is necessary to pour powder into the second compartment of the dispenser;
intense. The operation of this function is accompanied by a liquid temperature of 95 degrees and a working process time of 120 minutes. It is used in cases where there is dirt, sand or very old stains on things;
fast. This treatment removes unpleasant odors and minor stains. It resembles a simple rinse.The process occurs at a water temperature of 30-40 degrees for 15-40 minutes;
baby clothes. This mode is used to process delicate baby items (diapers, baby vests, onesies). This consumes a large amount of water. This is designed to completely rinse off any remaining detergent. The time to remove powder residues is about 1.5 hours;
sports things. The process of this mode allows you to process all types of sportswear, including various models of training suits. In addition, even many models of sports shoes can be washed;
combined. This mode allows you to wash items without pre-sorting. The main thing is that among them there are no clothes that can fade;
night In order not to disturb the silence of the night, the mode provides for disabling all types of alarms and reducing noise during spinning;
"Biophase" mode. Very often, organic and protein stains left by wine, creams, blood, herbs and other substances can appear on clothing. It is very difficult to remove such stains. They can be removed in combination with powder and the appropriate enzyme in the “Biophase” mode;
easy ironing. This function turns on a low spin mode, so clothes come out somewhat damp. This condition of clothes makes ironing easier;
rinsing. This mode cleans clothes from residual soap suds. Detergents are removed not only from the surface, but also from the internal structure of fabrics;
spin The disadvantages of this regime have already been noted. Therefore, in order for the laundry to come out as dry as possible, there is an option to turn on a second spin, which lasts within 5 minutes.

Preparing for work

After a general introduction, it’s time to answer the question - how to use the Atlant washing machine.

Connection

In order for the unit to last longer, it is necessary, first of all, to study the procedure for preparing it for operation. First you need to properly connect to the electrical network, water supply and sewerage.

connection to the electrical network. First you need to make sure that the network parameters meet the current standard. First of all, this relates to the voltage level. If it differs from the passport conditions, then you need to think about installing a stabilizer. Otherwise, the machine may quickly fail. If the machine is connected via an extension cord, then you should remember that it must withstand power in the range of 2500-3000 W;
connection to the water supply network. Everything is simple here. Typically a plumbing tee is used for this. You just need to take into account that a cleaning filter and faucet must be installed along the flow of water. The length of the water hose does not matter;
sewer connection. To drain water, you can use two options: temporary or permanent connection.
For temporary drainage, use a bathtub, sink or washbasin. For this purpose, a special hose is used, the end of which resembles a hook. In this case, the height of rise of drain water should be within 60-90 cm.

For a permanent connection, a special intermediate drain siphon or the sewer siphon itself can be used.
Connection diagrams are given in the operating instructions. It is very important to maintain the recommended distances when installing the drain. Otherwise, the water will not drain, or dirt from the drain hose may get inside the working housing.

Preparing the machine for washing

The quality of washing will depend on the correct choice of program and detergents. The mode is selected by turning the corresponding knob or pressing the required key.
Typically, preparation for washing occurs in the following order:

load the laundry item. It should be remembered that the door must be tightly closed;
fill the appropriate dispenser cells with powder, bleach or rinse aid;
press the power button;
set the selected required operating mode;
press the “Start/Pause” button.

The work process will be reflected on the display. The software interface is written in Russian. Therefore, it is not difficult to control the workflow. The end of the work process is accompanied by an audible alarm.

Exploitation

In order for the Atlant washing machine to work as long as possible, it is necessary to follow the operating rules. They are simple, but the service life of the unit depends on them.

Cleaning

This procedure must be carried out regularly. It is advisable to carry out cleaning after completing each work process. To clean it safely, you should first disconnect it from the electrical network and close the water supply tap. Then thoroughly wipe all external surfaces. It is necessary to handle plastic and rubber parts only with a damp soft cloth. The contour seal can only be cleaned with a dry, soft cloth.

It is necessary to inspect the door seal, and if dirt has accumulated on it, this should also be removed. Then remove the dispenser tray and rinse its outer and inner parts under running warm water.

Carefully inspect the drum, and if there are rust stains left on it, transferred from clothing, they must be removed with means for cleaning stainless steel items. Do not use aggressive chemicals or abrasives for cleaning.

Cleaning filters in the water intake system

The machine has two filters: one in the supply hose, the other in the connecting pipe. They should be cleaned annually. It is necessary to rinse with a stream of running water using a brush.

Cleaning the pump filter

It is designed to protect the water path and pump from lint and threads torn from clothing. There may also be loose small objects in the drum, such as buttons or coins. The frequency of cleaning should be once every six months. In addition, the filter should be cleaned after each wash of fluffy items. To do this, you must first drain the water from the pump. Then remove the filter, remove debris from it and rinse with running water.

Some useful tips:

To prevent the machine from running away from its place during operation, and especially during spinning, it is recommended to place a rubber mat under it;
It is advisable not to use the maximum temperature mode. At high temperatures, scale may form. Especially if the water supply is of poor quality. To heat the water to the maximum temperature (90 degrees), additional time is needed. Considering that the power of the heating elements is 2500 W, during this time the contacts become very hot, which can lead to their overheating and, as a result, breakage. Frequent operation at elevated temperatures can also damage the relay in the heating element control circuit;
for the purpose of ventilation, after finishing washing, it is recommended to leave the loading hatch and the container for detergents open for a while;
Use only well-tested detergents.
