Ardo A600X Washing Machine Manual

Ardo A600X manual A washing machine's operating instructions not only explain how to operate the appliance but also the intricacies of the machine itself. We offer a short version of the instructions, using the Ardo A600X as an example.

Connection

If calling a technician to connect your washing machine is not feasible for financial reasons, you'll have to do it yourself. However, when connecting the machine yourself, be sure to adhere to safety regulations and precautions. Not only do you risk losing your washing machine, but warranty repairs won't be performed, as the manufacturer is not responsible for your actions.

How do you connect the washing machine? First, remove the shipping bolts. Turn them counterclockwise. Save the bolts, washers, and O-rings in case you need to transport the washing machine again. The Russian-language instructions for this model of machine advise that connection preparation doesn't end there. You'll need to completely remove the back panel of the washing machine to remove the shipping spacers. Then, screw the back panel back in place, and you're done.

Next, we need to move the machine to the prepared installation site. The article explains how to properly prepare a space for any model of washing machine. Instructions for the Indesit WISL 85 washing machine, we will not repeat ourselves.

Using a standard spirit level, level the body by alternately tightening all four feet. Next, screw one end of the inlet hose to the outlet of the inlet valve, which is located in the upper right corner at the rear of the machine, and the other end to the outlet of the water pipe. Don't overtighten. Please note that the machine will not fill with water if the water pressure in the water supply is too low.

Don't forget to insert rubber seals into the hose to prevent it from leaking under pressure.

The next step is to attach the drain hose, one end of which is already attached to the washing machine. There are different options for draining wastewater from a washing machine; you can read more about this in the article. How to make a drain into a sewer, and we move on.

Once the two hoses are connected, check again to make sure all connections are tight and there are no leaks. If everything is in order, plug the machine into an electrical outlet and test your "home assistant."

Control panel and dispenser

The Ardo washing machine has a mechanical control panel with two switches and five buttons. The selector on the far right is used to select programs, while the second selector allows you to set the desired water temperature.

In the center of the panel there is a control light that indicates whether the machine is on or off.

The button marked 7 on the control panel activates an extra rinse. Button 6 is used to pause the wash cycle without draining the drum, for example, to soak the laundry for a while. Button 3 disables the spin cycle, meaning the water will simply be drained at the end of the wash cycle. Button 4 reduces the cycle time, making it more economical. Button 5 turns the machine on and off.

The detergent dispenser in this washing machine is divided into three compartments. The left compartment is for prewash, followed by the main wash. The section on the right is for fabric softener. You can use either powder or liquid detergents, as long as they are designed for automatic washing machines.

Operation

When using a new washing machine, start by running a short cycle without laundry to clean the drum. Before washing, always check that the water supply is open and remember to check pockets and sort the laundry. To start a wash cycle:

Load the drum with items according to the maximum load for the given cycle. For example, for the cotton cycle, the maximum load is 5 kg of dry laundry, for delicates, 2.5 kg, and for woolens, a maximum of 1 kg can be washed at a time.
Close the drum door.
Pour the powder into the powder container according to the dosage.

Do not remove the tray during washing to prevent water leakage.
