The design of a modern washing machine is very easy to understand, as household appliances are specifically designed to be intuitive. Using a Biryusa washing machine is also very simple, especially if you've previously used automatic "home assistants" from other brands. We'll take a detailed look at the machine from the domestic company Biryusa, so that new users have no questions about how to properly operate it.
Commission the equipment correctly
Before starting the washing process, you should always read the official instructions and prepare the equipment for operation. The user manual contains a description of the icons on the dashboard, a detailed description of all operating cycles, and operating instructions that will ensure the safety of your machine and clothing. That's why you shouldn't ignore useful reference information that only takes a little time to read.
You also shouldn't skip the test cycle, which will ensure your appliance is working properly. To do this, select any program with a high wash temperature, load the machine with the required detergent, but do not add any dirty items to the drum. This will not only allow you to evaluate the appliance's performance but also remove any factory grease, dust, and other debris that could interfere with proper washing. How should you wash your clothes after the empty cycle is complete?
Reconnect the washing machine to the power supply, sewerage system, and water supply if all utilities were disconnected after the test.
Add dirty laundry to the drum.
Never exceed the maximum load capacity and try not to wash too small loads of laundry to avoid unbalancing the drum.
Close the door tightly until you hear a distinctive click.
Load household chemicals into the powder dispenser.
Activate the SM with the power button.
Select the duty cycle.
Activate additional functions if needed for a specific wash.
Start the wash using the Start/Pause button.
At this point, your work is complete; your "home assistant" will do the rest. After activating the wash cycle, the machine will fill with water, wash the clothes, rinse them, spin them, drain the waste water, and then signal completion with a special beep. Once the cycle is complete, all you have to do is wait a few minutes for the machine to unlock the door, remove your clean clothes, and hang them to dry.
Let's examine the machine's tray
The Biryusa washing machine's detergent drawer operates on the same principle as other washing machine detergent dispensers, making it very easy to understand. If you're new to automatic washing machines, our quick guide will help you get started.
In total, the tray consists of three compartments, each of which is intended for different household chemicals.
The compartment marked with the Roman numeral "I" is for the pre-wash stage. This is where you add detergents for cycles with pre-soak. If you're using a cycle without a pre-wash stage, you don't need to add anything to this compartment.
The compartment marked with the Roman numeral "II" is the main laundry compartment, where you add detergent for the main wash. Depending on your situation and preference, you can add either powdered laundry detergent or gel to this compartment, which will then be used for the main part of the cycle.
Finally, a small compartment with a schematic image of a flower is needed for various additional products, such as air conditioner, water softening chemicals, and so on.
Never add washing powders or gels to the last compartment, otherwise, after finishing the cycle, you will end up with clothes containing traces of detergents.
As you can see, the powder dispenser is very easy to understand. There are only a few compartments, each designed for a different purpose, and they all look different, making it difficult to confuse them.
Temperature mode and program
Now that we've figured out how the detergent dispenser works, let's explore temperature settings and basic washing programs. Biryusa brand equipment can heat water to temperatures ranging from 20 to 90 degrees Celsius. Let's decide how to wash at the specified temperatures.
Washing at 90 degrees Celsius is suitable for the most heavily soiled clothes, whites, and plain cotton and linen items, such as tablecloths, towels, bed linen, and so on.
A 60 degree cycle is suitable for moderately soiled items and colored items made from linen, cotton, and synthetic fabrics that are not prone to fading.
Finally, washing at temperatures between 20 and 40 degrees Celsius will clean lightly soiled items, plain whites, linen, synthetics, wool, and other items that require regular washing.
In addition to various temperature settings, household appliances boast a variety of washing programs. Here are the most common modes that housewives use most often.
Intensive. This cycle features increased duration and overall intensity, improving cycle efficiency. This program is recommended for baby clothes, as well as items with stubborn stains and other heavy soiling.
Cotton. Designed for long-lasting, intensive washing of cotton items. Experts recommend using this cycle for everyday laundry and bedding.
Fast. Designed specifically to quickly refresh lightly soiled items at low temperatures.
Synthetics. This cycle is similar to the Cotton program, but the intensity and duration are slightly reduced. This cycle is designed for cleaning synthetic fabrics, delicate materials, curtains, and items made of lace.
If you plan to wash knitted items on this cycle, you should reduce the amount of household chemicals, which will help preserve the shape of the garment.
Wool. Another specialized cycle, this time specifically for wool and wool blend items that can be washed in an automatic washing machine. Be sure to check the care label of the wool item before washing it – this will ensure it's machine washable and will also help you determine the appropriate temperature range.
Delicate. This cycle features reduced wash intensity and low drum speed. Suitable for delicate fabrics that could be damaged by standard washing cycles.
Eco-friendly. Can be washed at 40 or 60 degrees Celsius. Suitable for moderately soiled white or fade-resistant colored cotton items, as well as synthetic fabrics. This cycle is energy-efficient but long-lasting.
Bulky mode. Designed specifically for thick, bulky items, such as blankets, duvet covers, winter clothing, and so on. The wash cycle is performed at 40 degrees Celsius. Before washing, distribute the items evenly in the drum to prevent them from clumping together during the cycle.
Jeans. Use a special denim cycle at 60 degrees Celsius. Experts recommend turning the garment inside out before washing and using a liquid gel or capsule detergent instead of powdered detergent.
Baby. Suitable for thoroughly washing baby clothes and diapers at 60 degrees Celsius. It's best not to wash baby clothes with other items.
Sports. This cycle is designed for shoes and sportswear, cleaning them at 40 degrees Celsius. The manufacturer recommends washing one or two pairs of shoes per cycle, but no more.
Finish in. This program is for washing mixed items with normal soiling at 40 degrees Celsius. The main feature of this cycle is the ability to select the optimal finish time.
The duration of washing programs can be found in the instructions.
Pre-soaking. This type of soaking is necessary for the most heavily soiled items with stubborn stains that cannot be removed during a standard wash.
Extra rinse. This feature helps remove household chemicals from clothing fibers, which can be especially helpful for families with small children and those with allergies. It's ideal for baby clothes and thicker items like winter jackets, blankets, and so on.
Mixed Fabrics. This mode is designed for washing normally soiled mixed fabric items at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.
Drum Clean. A special cycle for thoroughly cleaning and sterilizing the washing machine drum at high temperatures. This program should not be used for cleaning clothing, as it is only suitable for technical purposes. Before starting, add a cleaning solution to the washing machine for best results.
The described modes are found in most household appliances, but some of them may not be available in budget washing machine models.
Getting to know the control panel
Don't rush to start the wash cycle, because you should still carefully examine the control panel of your new "home assistant". The Biryusa control panel is extremely simple, consisting of a program selector and only 4-6 keys. The classic panel looks like this:
mode switching handle;
a button for activating the pre-wash mode, suitable for the most soiled items;
a button for turning on an additional rinse, which will completely wash out household chemicals from the laundry;
a no-spin button, which is necessary for items made from delicate fabrics that cannot be spun due to a high risk of damage;
When you activate this mode, you will have to remove moisture from freshly washed items yourself.
Above the button for washing without spinning there is an indicator of the hatch door block, which lights up after the washing machine starts working;
A start/pause button allows you to start the wash cycle or temporarily pause it, if necessary. The pause button allows you to soak items before washing—to do this, start the cycle, wait about 10 minutes, and press "Pause/Start." Once the items have soaked sufficiently, press the same button again to resume the cycle. This procedure will significantly improve the cleaning of extremely dirty clothes.
Finally, above the pause and start button is the child lock indicator. This feature activates the lock, preventing children from accidentally changing the settings of the current cycle. To activate the lock, press and hold the extra rinse and no spin buttons for 3 seconds during the wash cycle until a beep sounds. You can deactivate the lock during the cycle in the same way.
It is also worth noting the sound signal mute function, for which there is no special indicator on the control panel. To activate this mode, after activating the “home assistant”, you need to hold down the pre-wash button for 3 seconds. To return the sound notification, you need to do the same.
