“Refresh” program in a Haier washing machine

Despite the presence of the same modes and options in modern washing machines, in some models you can sometimes find operating cycles that are at first glance incomprehensible. For example, not every housewife will be able to answer why the “Refresh” mode is needed in a Haier washing machine. Therefore, while standard programs rarely raise questions regarding their purpose and operation, such innovations can be difficult to understand without instructions. In case you don’t have the instruction manual at hand, we have prepared today’s material from which you will learn the features of the useful “Refresh” cycle.

How does it work and why is it needed?

This function is seriously different from any other in Haier technology. At the same time, once you understand it, you will never have questions about how to use it again, it is so simple and intuitive. All you need to do is load up some light items like T-shirts, shirts or blouses, launch the Refresh program and forget about the “home assistant” for the next 20 minutes.

For this mode, you do not need to add washing powder - jets of hot steam will eliminate unpleasant odors, wrinkles on clothes and other unwanted elements, which is reminiscent of full-fledged dry cleaning at home.

Of course, this program was not created to remove stubborn stains and other serious dirt. It is designed specifically for high-speed processing of laundry, during which you can remove mustiness from things that have been “waiting in the wings” for too long. This mode is also suitable for preparing clothes just purchased in a store for wear.

In addition, the mode is also ideal for cleaning things from allergens and viruses. Plus, it is exactly what you need to choose in a situation where you urgently need to return the shape to products made from delicate fabrics that cannot be processed in full SM working cycles. Finally, it is worth mentioning over-dried items that may have been left hanging for too long after washing and have dried out so much that it is almost impossible to iron them properly. In this case, the same “Refresh” option will help, which will quickly tidy up the clothes, making them pliable and ready to be processed even with an iron without the ability to use steam.

That's why this feature is so useful, because it can be used for a variety of purposes, and it doesn't even require washing powder or fabric softener. It is very economical in terms of water and electricity due to its short duration, but always achieves maximum effect.

Important algorithms of Haier SM

We found out how to use the unusual “Refresh” mode; all that remains is to figure out the popular functions that can be found on almost every Haier brand washing machine. An excellent knowledge of each option in household appliances will always allow you to select the correct washing settings for each individual type of clothing. Therefore, we will briefly analyze modern programs that can be found today.

• “40`40°”. Cycle to reduce washing time by half - from 80 to 40 minutes. Significantly speeds up the rotation of the drum, but does not increase the heating of the water, which remains at 40 degrees Celsius.
• "Delicate wash". This is the choice for products made of delicate materials that may become deformed during rough processing.The cycle is characterized by smooth rotation of the drum, the weakest spin and very low water temperature. All of the above, plus a plentiful supply of water, allows you to carefully clean clothes, and then completely wash out detergents from the fibers of things.
• "Baby clothes". The main feature of the mode is considered to be high water temperature exceeding 60 degrees. And thanks to several rinsing stages, the cycle also perfectly washes household chemicals out of clothes.

This program should be used not only by young mothers, but also by allergy sufferers who cannot tolerate detergents.

• "Dark fabrics" Another cycle with a large amount of water and a slow spin. This allows dark colors to remain vibrant. To improve the effect, it is necessary to use special gels and balms.
• "Handwash". The function is designed for the most difficult fabrics, such as silk, viscose and cashmere, which can become deformed. Due to the smooth rotation of the drum, damage to products made from the listed materials is excluded.
• "Wool". An algorithm with a “talking” name. It helps housewives prevent woolen items from shrinking and pilling.
• "Pooh." Another clear mode, present only in household appliances designed to wash 9 or more kilograms of laundry at a time. Perfectly cleans outerwear and items filled with down and feathers.
• "Shirts." A special function for washing shirts, which, using a weak spin and low water temperature of about 30-40 degrees Celsius, not only cleans clothes from difficult stains, but also does not wrinkle the fabric, so that it is easier to iron it later with an iron or steamer.
• "Fitness". A modern feature for those who often go to the gym, run in the morning or play active sports.The washing time is only an hour at a temperature of 40 degrees, during which the machine manages to wash sports uniforms made of cotton and synthetics.
• "Eco 20°C". Economy cycle for processing lightly soiled clothes. The program reduces energy consumption by as much as 80% when compared with classic SM options. The manufacturer recommends using gel rather than powder for this type of washing, as it dissolves better in cold water.

Finally, we note the useful self-cleaning option that is found in some expensive Haier washing machines. Self-cleaning can perfectly clean the drums, pipes, drain filter and powder receptacle of your “home assistant” in just two hours at a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius. After this treatment, you won’t even have to think about manually cleaning household appliances, because the machine will do everything itself.

Today, technology is becoming more modern and smarter every day, so it is so important to keep up with progress and know all the washing modes by heart in order to use the equipment 100%.
