General washing machine tips

Long-term operation and reliable operation of your machine will ensure compliance with the following rules:

1. The unit must be installed on a flat floor. A secure position will help prevent the body from shifting during spin.
2. Before washing, check the contents of all powder drawers and bleach drawers. Also, they need to be periodically cleaned and washed, and the drum should be aired.
3. Each machine is equipped with a special filter for trapping debris - pile, wool, thread, hair, etc. It is also recommended to periodically check and clean it.
4. Overloading the drum of the machine with linen is unacceptable: the unit can vibrate violently, the laundry can be removed worse, and overload also affects the life of the device very much.
5. Do not turn on the machine with a low pressure of water - you will violate all modes of operation of the unit.
6. Tap water can be very hard in your area, so it is recommended that you fill up the descaler with each wash (see the video below).

Attention: Each model of a modern washing machine has built-in protection against water leakage and a protection device against engine overheating. But regular inspection of the unit and operation in good condition will extend the life of your assistant.
