First launch of the DEXP washing machine

It is not enough to choose, buy and bring a new washing machine home - it is also extremely important to properly prepare it before work. If you do not perform a number of mandatory manipulations, then during the washing process you can accidentally damage not only your favorite things, but also the “home assistant” itself, which will have to be repaired, perhaps even at your own expense. To prevent this from happening, the first start of the DEXP washing machine must be carried out strictly according to the rules. In this article we will analyze in detail what exactly needs to be done before starting to operate the automatic SM.

Initial steps with the DEXP machine

A new washing machine of any brand requires a set of preparatory measures, which are described in detail in the user manual. This means that first of all, after purchasing, you need to carefully study the instructions. This will help not only to learn about all the capabilities of household appliances, but also to learn all the symbols on the control panel. After reading, you can begin other preparations.

• Install the washing machine at a building level so that it stands as level as possible.
• Prepare all communications if you have not done so previously.
• Remove the shipping bolts from the back of the case.
• Clean the drum of foreign objects.
• Remove unnecessary factory stickers.

Each of the points must be analyzed in detail, because the performance of the device directly depends on many of them. It is best to have the device installed by specialists, as this will allow you to avoid classic installation mistakes.However, you can cope with this process yourself, because all you need is to adjust the position of the CM, as well as secure the clamps on all hoses. If this is not done, then due to increased vibration the unit will bounce and move around the room during the spin cycle, and weak hose fasteners will lead to leaks.

Next, be sure to remove all the shipping bolts installed to secure the washing tub in a stationary position. If they were not in the design, then during transportation the tank could become loose and either deform itself or damage other internal components of the equipment. In this case, after transportation, the bolts must be removed, because if the first wash goes through with them, the electric motor will unsuccessfully try to spin the stationary drum, as a result of which the tank itself, the shaft, bearings, shock absorbers, the engine and other key components may suffer. That is why it is so important to remove the latches in a timely manner, first loosening them with a key, then pushing them inside, and then closing them with special plastic plugs that come with the equipment. You can find out the exact number and location of bolts in the same instructions for the machine.

Using a DEXP washing machine with shipping bolts will void the warranty, so do not rush into your first wash until all fasteners have been removed.

The last step is to clean the device from foreign stickers, tape, foam and other debris. Also, do not forget to carefully check the drum, in which the manufacturer usually places various parts, plastic plugs, instructions, hoses, etc. Additionally, you should wipe the surfaces with a dry cloth.This completes the preparation, so you should begin the test work cycle.

Washing the machine

A new washing machine also needs a first technical start-up, which will rid it of dust and dirt that may have remained after assembly at the factory and storage in the warehouse. This is very easy to do, because this cycle is no different from regular washing, except that you do not need to add laundry to the drum. Simply connect the equipment to the power supply and water supply, turn it on and add household chemicals to make the cleaning even more effective. After that, all that remains is to start the working cycle and wait for it to complete.

Do not add clothes to the drum under any circumstances if you do not want to damage the items with technical lubricant.

In addition to cleaning the internal components of the washing machine, a dry wash is also needed to check the functionality of the device, as well as the quality of installation. During this first wash, you can understand whether the SM collects and drains water well, whether there is excessive vibration or extraneous noise, whether anything is leaking, and so on. Monitor all stages of the cycle so that if necessary, you can quickly begin to fix the problem.

If after the test no leaks, malfunctions, problems with spinning or anything else are detected, then you can safely proceed to the full first wash. Otherwise, you need to urgently stop the work cycle and call a repair service. It’s better not to hesitate in this case, especially since free warranty service usually applies after purchase.

Test program and how to run it

The test operating cycle can be on any program, only with the condition of high temperature and duration. In the future, you should choose modes for washing depending on the type of fabric, type of clothing and degree of contamination. Choosing a function is very easy, because modern DEXP washing machines have a wide variety of modes that are suitable for all occasions.

You can figure out the purpose of most of them even without a hint, because their names speak for themselves. It will be even easier for those users who already had an automatic washing machine before. But it’s better to act not on a whim, but according to the instructions, which indicate the decoding of all the icons on the SM control panel. The official guide describes all programs, their duration, spin force, water heating and much more. When you select the appropriate mode, you can start washing.

• Connect the machine to the mains.
• Turn on the water supply tap.
• Place the clothes in the drum, having previously sorted them by color, type and soiling.

Keep in mind the minimum and maximum drum loads to prevent the system from becoming unbalanced.

• Close the hatch door until it clicks.
• Add household laundry chemicals to the powder receptacle.
• Select the desired function using the programmer.
• If necessary, further customize the cycle using the appropriate buttons.
• Click the "Start" button.

All that remains after the manipulations have been completed is to wait for the work to complete, which most modern “home assistants” report with a characteristic sound signal. After this message, you should wait a few minutes, because during this time the hatch will be locked for safety reasons.

It is better to rinse with the product

Washing in an automatic washing machine is very effective, but even high-tech household appliances cannot cope without high-quality household chemicals. At the same time, you need to add detergents to the system correctly so that they are not washed out ahead of time, but gradually enter the drum. For this, manufacturers have developed a special powder receptacle with compartments for each type of household chemicals. You can find the tray at the top left of the case - to open it, you just need to gently pull it towards you. How to use the powder receptacle and detergents correctly?

• Add only those household chemicals to the cuvette that are intended for automatic washing machines.
• It is best to buy products that are distinguished by their high-quality and natural composition.
• If you need to clean clothes made from delicate types of fabric, you should use liquid detergents, as they dissolve better in cold water and also do not leave white streaks on the items.
• Do not add household chemicals “by eye” - you need to use a measuring dispenser or cap, and also follow the restrictive marks in the dispenser compartments.
• It is safer and more effective in different situations to use household chemicals for black, white and colored linen, rather than using one product for all clothes at once.
• In no case should you confuse the compartments of the cuvette for household chemicals, because they have different purposes - the left compartment is intended for the main stage of washing, the right for the preliminary stage, and the central one for conditioners, bleaches and other auxiliary detergents.

Be sure to monitor how much household chemicals you add to the powder receptacle, because an excessive amount can lead to increased formation of foam, which can damage the SM electronics.

Of course, you can also use the latest laundry products in your washing machine, such as cleaning wipes, laundry tablets, and gel capsules. They must be placed directly into the drum, bypassing the powder receptacle. They cost a little more than standard powders and gels, but are more effective and easy to use.
