Modern washing machines are attractive for their intuitive controls, and Atlant keeps up with the competition. Just reading the user manual once is enough to figure out what to press and where to put the detergent. If you previously had a different brand of washing machine, you'll definitely not have any problems. For those who want to be on the safe side, we'll explain in detail how to turn on your Atlant washing machine, set the program, and start the first cycle. We'll also remind you of the basic operating instructions.
Start-up before commissioning
If you follow the instructions, you shouldn't have any problems turning on the machine. The main thing is to follow all the manufacturer's requirements. The most important thing is to install the machine correctly, choosing a solid, level surface. Be sure to remove the transport bolts, which secure the tank in place, preventing it from becoming unbalanced during transport. It is prohibited to run the washing machine with a sealed drum, as this will lead to severe mechanical damage.The installation is completed by connecting to utilities.
Before using your Atlant washing machine for the first time, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions!
Having checked the machine’s readiness, we begin to act and start the first “idle” cycle.
Check the drum. The first cycle is started without laundry: open the door, check for any forgotten items, and close the door tightly.
Add detergent.
Connect to the power grid. Plug the power cord into the outlet.
Let's start the cycle. Press the power button, turn the dial to the desired program, and click "Start."
If the machine doesn't start after pressing the "Start" button, check the door. Most likely, the door lock or electronic lock has malfunctioned. You should open and close the door repeatedly until you hear a click.
The first start of the machine is carried out without laundry!
Once again, the first cycle is run "empty": with detergent but no laundry. This will clean the machine of any factory grease and eliminate any chemical odors. Another benefit is that you can test the washing machine's functionality without risking damage to your laundry. Therefore, monitor the machine's behavior for any unusual noises, sudden stops, freezes, or other suspicious malfunctions.
We force the machine to wash
After a successful first run, you can wash your clothes. In this case, you'll need to figure out not only how to properly turn the machine on but also how to set the appropriate wash cycle for your laundry. The numerous buttons and lights on the modern Atlant's dashboard can easily confuse even an experienced homemaker. Don't just press them randomly—it's better to decipher all the symbols and abbreviations.
Open the instructions and check which button does what. Typically, each washing machine model has a set of basic programs with preset cycle parameters. You can guess the program's purpose by its name: "Wool" is for woolen items, "Cotton" is for cotton linens and towels, and "Delicates" is similar to hand washing.
So, in general, the cycle starts like this:
plug the machine into the socket;
open the water supply;
we put the laundry into the drum;
close the hatch tightly;
add detergent;
press the "Power" button;
Use the selector to select the mode;
click "Start".
Once the wash cycle is complete, the machine will beep. However, you won't be able to open the door immediately—the electronic lock will only release after 2-4 minutes.
Where to add powder?
Add detergent according to the instructions. First, pay attention to the dosage: on average, it's recommended to use 100 grams per 5-7 kg of items. Using less will prevent stains from being removed, while using more will increase foaming and prevent items from being rinsed thoroughly. It is better not to act “by eye”, but to use a special measuring cup or spoon.
When adding detergent, pay attention to the dosage!
Now let's figure out where and what to add. Open the drawer by pulling it toward you and inspect the compartments. Add detergent into the largest one, marked "I" or "A," and pour fabric softener or rinse aid into the central one, marked "*." Compartment "II" or "B" is for the "Prewash" cycle only.
When using other types of detergents, gel capsules, or cleaning wipes, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. These products are added directly to the drum, and the quantities are indicated on the packaging.
Don't harm the equipment
Anyone can figure out how to turn on an Atlant washing machine – everything is simple and intuitive. The main thing is to follow the basic operating and care instructions when using the machine. A responsible approach will help keep your items safe and extend the life of the machine.
The following recommendations are in question:
monitor the drum loading standards (each Atlant model has both a minimum and a maximum weight);
After finishing the wash, wipe the drum of the machine, leave the door and powder compartment open (free air conditioning will prevent the formation of mold);
Do not place heavy objects on the top lid of the washing machine;
Do not change the cycle settings after the machine has already started washing (sudden changes will lead to a malfunction);
add water softeners if the water is too hard;
buy high-quality detergents;
Place special anti-vibration attachments on the machine's legs.
Knowing the basic rules and recommendations will make it easy to start your first and subsequent washes on your Atlanta. Just remember to follow the instructions and, if you suspect a problem, contact a service center.
