Using a Daewoo washing machine

Learning to use a Daewoo washing machine is not difficult, especially if you already had a vertical or front-facing washing machine at home. Almost all washing machines have similar controls, right down to the dashboard and built-in programs. Starting the cycle is simple - load the laundry into the drum, add powder, select a mode and press “Start”. But we must not forget about the features of the brand - Daewoo has several “tricks” and unique functions. We invite you to get to know the machine closely using detailed instructions and review.

First and subsequent launches

After purchasing a new washing machine, regardless of the brand, you must first study the factory instructions. Each Daewoo model is sold along with a “book” that contains the operating characteristics of the machine, a list of modes, installation and use nuances, installation and maintenance rules. In addition to the points from the user manual, it is worth remembering a few additional recommendations:

• the first start-up should be “idle”: with an empty drum and with detergent (the equipment will be washed to remove factory lubricant and checked for manufacturing defects);
• when adding detergent, it is necessary to take into account the compartment markings;
• when loading things into the drum, you should focus on the minimum and maximum capacity of the machine;
• Information from clothing labels must be taken into account;
• The cycle parameters can be adjusted if necessary using the corresponding buttons.

To avoid imbalance, do not exceed the loading capacity of your Daewoo washing machine!

Before washing, be sure to check the pockets of items loaded into the machine.Debris, paper, keys and coins remaining in clothes can get into the tank when the drum rotates, clog the drain, damage the hatch cuff, jam the pump impeller or the cylinder itself.

Basic modes

Modern Daewoo washing machines delight users with simplified controls - to start a cycle, just press a couple of buttons. The main thing is to figure out in advance which dashboard icons “hidden” the appropriate modes and functions. Thus, the machines have dozens of programs designed for specific types of fabric, color and degree of soiling. As a rule, most positions are standard.

• Cotton. Mode for products made from the same type of fabric. Typically suitable for bedding, towels and shirts. This program is designed for washing thick materials: heating water to 90 degrees, maximum spin, duration up to 2.5 hours.
• Synthetics. Designed for cleaning synthetic and mixed fabrics, therefore it is set to 40-60 degrees, maximum spin and duration of 1-2 hours.
• Delicate. Alternative to hand washing. Due to the smooth rotation of the drum, a large amount of water and heating up to 30 degrees, it gently washes delicate fabrics - silk, wool, knitwear. Duration – 40-60 minutes.
• Preliminary. A cycle in which items are washed before the main wash - after its completion, the standard program is automatically activated. The main thing is to pour the detergent into the specially designed compartment of the powder receptacle.

When turning on the pre-wash, be careful - you must add the powder to the special compartment of the dispenser!

• Express wash. A program designed to quickly clean lightly soiled laundry. The cycle lasts 15-45 minutes due to minimal heating and quick spin.
• Intense. It turns on if the items being washed are made of dense materials and are heavily soiled. Thanks to a temperature of 90-95 degrees and rapid rotation of the drum for 2 hours, stains are removed from the fibers.
• Children's room. The name speaks for itself - a mode for cleaning children's clothes is launched. Heating to 60-90 degrees, a long cycle and abundant water intake provide high-quality washing and rinsing, removing stubborn stains and eliminating allergies to powder.
• Sport. Special program for cleaning sportswear and thermal underwear. Perfect for products made of membrane, stretch and latex. Thanks to specially selected settings, the breathable properties of the laundry are preserved, and the strong smell of sweat is eliminated. Also, this mode allows you to wash shoes, sneakers, sneakers, and slippers.
• Night. Provides quiet washing due to the slow rotation of the drum and the absence of sound during the cycle. All this allows you to turn on Daewoo at night so as not to waste time during the day.
• Biophase. A program that gently removes stubborn protein stains from fabric - wine, lipstick, blood, grass and blood. The main thing is to add detergent with enzymes to the powder receptacle when starting the cycle.
• Easy ironing. Due to the weak spin and slow rotation of the drum, things practically do not wrinkle, which simplifies their further smoothing.
• Rinsing. Allows you to restart the rinse cycle. This allows you to wash off the remaining powder from the fabric in 3-4 minutes.
• Spin. It turns on again if the clothes are poorly wrung out. Duration – 3-5 minutes.

Some Daewoo models offer unique programs or improved standard ones. To evaluate the functionality of the machine, you must carefully read the instructions.The user manual describes in detail all available options: option designation, duration, water temperature and spin speed.
