Instructions for washing machine Ardo A1000X
If you needed operating instructions for the Ardo a1000x washing machine in Russian, most likely you bought a “home assistant” of this European-assembled model, intended for a European consumer. The “European” Ardo does not come with a Russian translation of the instructions; in addition, all the inscriptions on the control panel are also made in a foreign language. So figure out which knob to turn and which button to press. We will try to correct the situation by providing you with the Russian version of such instructions.
Preparation for use
Most users who have just purchased a washing machine rush to connect it immediately, often without knowledge and experience in this matter. The manufacturer recommends contacting a specialist who will lay the necessary communications and then carry out installation and connection of the washing machine according to all the rules.
Remember, the manufacturer's warranty does not apply to cases where a malfunction occurs due to improper connection of the machine.
The main thing you can do with your own hands is to unscrew the transport elements. The fact is that all the moving parts of the machine, for greater safety during transportation, are fixed with special spacers and tightened with bolts. In some cases, the spacers are located on the outside of the housing, and sometimes on the inside. If the plastic spacers are inside, then:
- first unscrew the screws;
- then remove the back cover of the machine;
- remove the spacers;
- put and screw the lid into place;
- plug the holes left by the bolts.
Spacers and bolts should not be thrown away. If you take your washing machine anywhere again, they will need to be installed in the reverse order, otherwise there is a serious risk of damage to internal parts when transporting them yourself, which is also not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Control elements
The factory instruction manual for the Ardo a1000x machine gives us a complete list of control elements, which in turn are located on the control panel of the washing machine. In principle, it is intuitively clear how to use many of these elements, but it is still better to cover this point in more detail. We will describe the elements of the control panel of the Ardo machine from left to right. That is, we’ll start with those parts that are shown on the lid of the powder receptacle and end with a control light.
- Table of washing modes supported by the washing machine of this model. All of them are listed on the dispenser lid.
- The dispenser is the most important part of the control panel, although it is designed very simply. In the picture it is shown as number 2.
- Using the button number 3 you can limit the water temperature during washing
- The number 4 gives us the opportunity to turn off the program while there is still water in the tank.
- Economy washing can be activated with button 5.
- Well, the sixth button is used to turn off the spin cycle.
- Under the number 7 there is a button to turn the “home assistant” on and off.
- The number eight indicates the temperature switch knob.
- You can adjust the spin speed using the knob number 9.
- The tenth digit indicates the program switch.
- And last on our list, under the number 11, is a light bulb that indicates to us that the machine is turned on.
For the Ardo a1000x washing machine, the instructions indicate to us the characteristics of the washing programs, which we will not describe in the shortened version of the instructions. If you need details, read the factory version of this document, which we have posted at the end of the article.
Powder box
The powder receiver of a washing machine of this brand has a simple device. Rectangular shape, three standard compartments. If you count from left to right, the first compartment is needed for soaking laundry. You need to put products there only if a program that includes pre-wash is turned on. The middle compartment is perhaps the most popular, as this is the department for regular washing. Well, the third compartment, which is on the right, is also often used, since the air conditioner should be placed in it.
Manufacturers of the Ardo a1000x washing machine recommend using an anti-scale agent, which is placed in the main compartment, which not only protects machine parts, but also improves the quality of washing.
Let's start using the machine
Before the first wash, the manufacturer recommends running a dry wash without laundry. To do this, select any short cycle, add powder and turn off the spin function. All subsequent washes are started as follows:
- Check if the water supply is open.
- If necessary, turn the programmer knob to the Stop position.
- With dry hands, plug in the machine.
- Place items in the drum, sorting them by weight, type of fabric, color. Be sure to check the pockets, as well as the drum itself, for foreign objects.
Do not overload the machine, load laundry according to the program table in the complete instructions, it indicates in what mode and how many kilograms of clothes can be washed.
- Close the hatch.
- Place detergent in the powder dispenser.
- Turn the program selector to the right to the desired program. Do not turn the handle to the left, this is prohibited.
- Set the heating temperature and spin speed.
- Select, if necessary, an additional function.
- Press the program button.
After the program completes, the washing machine door will unlock in a minute, then you can remove the items. The machine turns off not with a button, but by pulling the plug out of the socket. The water supply valve closes immediately.
Service
When developing the washing machine, the manufacturer minimized its maintenance. The main task of the user is to wash and clean it on time. The following are subject to cleaning:
- drum and tank;
- cuff;
- powder cuvette;
- drain filter;
- filling filter.
The machine body can be wiped with a cloth soaked in a mild soap solution; other chemicals and solvents are prohibited. After washing, wipe the surface of the drum and the cuff with a dry cloth to prevent mold and unpleasant odor from forming.
To wash the filter, you need to unscrew it, but only when there is no water in the tank. When removing the filter, place a rag underneath; in any case, the remaining water will flow out. To clean the machine tank from scale, you can use specialized products; it is enough to run a “idle wash” with such a product once every six months.
We hope that the instructions presented for the Ardo A1000X washing machine will help protect the washing machine and protect yourself and your property. For more details, please see the full instruction manual attached to this article.

What do the letters mean (on my machine they are under the number 10) “s” and something else?
Why doesn't the rinse aid go into the tank? Does it stay in the distributor?
S on the switch is the end of each of the programs (there are only three of them, cotton, synthetics and wool).
Please tell me. Button number 6 spin should be turned off when washing, which means the spin works automatically. If you press it, that is, turn it on, does this mean the spin cycle will turn off?
