Description of the “Duvet” mode in the LG washing machine

Description of the Duvet mode in the LG washing machineBefore launching this or that mode on the LG washing machine and spending time on experiments, isn’t it better to get acquainted with the programs in absentia by reading their descriptions. This way you will not only save time, but also water, powder and, naturally, your nerves. Now we will offer you a detailed review of the Duvet mode in the LG washing machine. We hope this information will help make your homework easier.

Duration of the program

By default, if you do not set custom parameters, the LG machine will wash in this mode for 1 hour 9 minutes. If we set the maximum possible water temperature in this mode - 40 degrees, but turn off the spin cycle, then the machine will wash for exactly 1 hour.

By setting it to 40 degrees and choosing a spin speed of 400 rpm, we get a wash time of 1 hour 6 minutes. If we reduce the temperature to 30 degrees, the wash will last 1 hour. If we set the spin speed to 800 rpm (you can’t do more with this program), then the machine will wash for 1 hour 9 minutes at 40 degrees and 1 hour 3 minutes at 30 degrees. If we set the spin speed to 800 and wash in cold water, the wash will last 57 minutes.

The minimum duvet mode works for 48 minutes, provided that we put the wash in cold water and turn off the spin cycle. This time will be washed by the Duvet program if we do not activate additional functions. Most of the functions available in the LG machine’s arsenal are not available in the “Duvet” mode, but some can be turned on.

If we set the “Down blanket” program and, without changing the other parameters (800 revolutions and 40 degrees), turn on intensive washing, then the machine will wash for 1 hour 30 minutes.

By setting the default program and turning on the “No creases” function, we will wait 1 hour 14 minutes for the end of the wash. Activating both the No Crease and Intensive functions will extend the Duvet program (800 turns and 40 degrees) to 1 hour 35 minutes.can you wash a duvet

How does the program work?

Like any LG washing machine program, the Duvet mode has its own characteristics. At the very beginning, the machine, as in all other cases, begins to draw water, dissolving the powder and getting ready to start washing. Then the program execution process begins according to the following algorithm:

  • The drum first spins intensely for 15-20 seconds, then freezes for 10 seconds;
  • Then it spins intensely for 30-40 seconds and freezes for 15 seconds;
  • Again it spins intensely for 15-20 seconds, and then freezes for 10 seconds, etc.

This operating algorithm allows you to stretch a voluminous item properly. The mixture of water and powder penetrates into every thread, effectively washing away dirt. Next comes the rinsing stage, but first the machine will drain the soapy water. The machine takes in a large amount of water and lets the items sit in this water for about 3-4 minutes. Then the drum begins to rotate at low speed, providing rinsing. Next, drain again and again add a small amount of water for the final rinse. At the end of the program, a spin takes place at the speed you set: 400 or 800 rpm. If the spin was turned off, the machine will simply drain the water and turn off.
