Turning on the Haier washing machine

Turning on the Haier washing machineOperating an automatic washing machine is easy; just read the instructions, and you won't encounter any difficulties. Even if you've used a different brand before, you'll be able to turn on your Haier washing machine the first time. For those completely new to automatic washing machines, we'll explain how to start the machine, select the appropriate mode, and initiate a wash. We'll also explain how to properly load detergent into the dispenser.

Commissioning of Haier equipment

If your washing machine is new and just arrived from the store, don't rush to connect it to the power supply and start a cycle. Let it sit for a couple of hours at room temperature. Then, be sure to remove the shipping bolts—they secure the drum and protect the internal components from damage.

It is strictly prohibited to start the machine without removing the transport bolts, as this may lead to complete failure of the equipment.

Once the fasteners are removed from the housing, you can move the washing machine to its designated location and connect the inlet and drain hoses. This will prepare the appliance for further use. The first time the machine should be run empty - without items in the drum, but with powder or gel in the dispenser. This will allow the equipment to be “washed” from the inside and neutralize the unpleasant factory smell picked up from “zero” electrical appliances.We run the machine for the first time without laundry.

Afterwards, you can run the standard cycle. Generally speaking, the user will have to:

  • open the hatch door;
  • Load the laundry into the drum. It's important to sort the laundry first—by color and fabric type;
  • close the hatch tightly;
  • Open the drawer. Pour detergent and fabric softener into the appropriate compartments. It's important to strictly follow the manufacturer's recommended detergent dosage.
  • insert the machine's power cord into the socket;
  • press the network key on the control panel;
  • turn the selector to the desired program;
  • start the wash cycle by pressing the “Start/Pause” button.

If the machine doesn't start drawing water after activating the cycle, the door may not be closed properly. Press firmly on the door – this will activate the lock, and the wash cycle will begin. During the first cycle, monitor the machine to immediately detect any system malfunctions or react to any leaks. It's important to ensure that the machine is functioning properly, making no noise or knocking, and cycling through the wash cycles correctly.

Customizing the machine

When you first turn on a new washing machine, do so with the drum empty and select any long program from the available options. Afterward, you'll need to adjust the wash cycle based on the soil level of the laundry and the type of fabric.

The parameters of each washing program are described in detail in the instructions for the Haier automatic washing machine.

The owner may also be confused by additional buttons on the control panel and unfamiliar symbols. The user manual explains all the symbols. It explains what the dashboard indicators do and what functions and options are hidden behind the icons.Selecting a program on a Haier sewing machine

For example, if you just need to freshen up some T-shirts, you can select the Quick Wash function. If you're loading mixed or synthetic fiber items into the drum, you can select the Synthetics cycle. When you need to clean baby clothes, you should activate the program of the same name and turn on the “Double Rinse” option.

It's important to choose your washing cycle carefully. Washing wool on the "Cotton" cycle will inevitably cause the garment to shrink. Special, gentle cleaning cycles are available for delicate and sensitive fabrics, while durable and thick materials require completely different settings. Once the washing machine has finished washing, wait a couple of minutes before removing the garment from the drum. This will allow the door to unlock.

How to load the dispenser with product?

Haier washing machines have three compartments: one for the main wash, one for the pre-wash, and one for the fabric softener. It's important to strictly adhere to the detergent dosage, and avoid overloading or underloading, as this will negatively impact the washing results.We put the powder into the Haier cuvette

The optimal dosage is indicated on the detergent packaging. A measuring spoon or cap is usually included with powder, stain remover, or fabric softener. These measuring spoons help you accurately measure the amount of detergent. The left compartment of the drawer is for the main wash, and the right compartment is for the pre-wash. Fabric softener is added to the middle compartment.

Extend the life of your machine

Turning on a Haier washing machine and starting a wash cycle turns out to be very simple. But turning on the appliance isn't the end of the story. To ensure the machine operates smoothly for a long time, it is important to follow the basic operating recommendations. It is important for all users to follow the basic rules:

  • Do not exceed the maximum load capacity. The drum of a particular model is designed for a specific number of items. Also, do not run the machine when it's nearly empty;
  • Be sure to wipe the drum walls with a dry cloth after using the washing machine, wash the powder compartment and leave the hatch half-open for ventilation;wipe the drum with a cloth after washing
  • You cannot place anything on the top cover of the machine;
  • It is prohibited to adjust program parameters, change the temperature, or spin speed after the wash has started. Such "intrusion" may damage the control module.
  • It's important to measure the water hardness and, if necessary, install a softening filter at the inlet of the machine. You should also use detergents that prevent scale buildup.

Therefore, before using your Haier washing machine for the first time, be sure to read the instructions. The user manual contains all the information regarding connection and operation. Also, follow the basic care recommendations to ensure a long-lasting machine life.

    For some reason the door doesn't open after washing, I've already been waiting for 15 minutes.
