Despite the simplicity of this unit, modern youth do not know how to use it. Washing machines at home, everything seemed simple, and when I had to move out from mom and dad, the issue of washing in a dormitory or a rented apartment, and even in an unknown machine, becomes a real test. We will tell the reader of the article in all details how to start washing on “Baby”.

Laundry Prep

The "Baby" washing machine is a technique in which the rotation of the laundry is carried out by means of an activator, therefore such machines are called activator. Most models of "Baby" have only a tank for loading laundry, an activator and a mechanical timer to start washing. Only a few washing machines are equipped with an installed centrifuge. Two-tank “Babies” are even less common when one tank is for washing, and the second for spinning clothes.

Whatever your Baby washer, it needs to be prepared for washing. First of all, you need to install the machine so that it is convenient for you to pour and drain water, load dry linen and pull out wet. Usually the car is placed on a wooden grill in the bath. So after washing it will be more convenient to drain the water by opening the cork at the bottom of the machine, the water will pour into the bath. But you can put the machine on the floor, if you are, for example, in the country. In this case, you need to connect the drain hose to the drain hole and close it so that the water does not spill out.

As for water, many people collect hot water from a tap. You can do this in the following ways:

  • type in a bucket and pour into a typewriter;
  • put a hose with a shower in the machine;
  • put a hose on the water tap and draw water into the machine.

Important! Specialists do not recommend collecting hot water from a tap. It is better to collect a bucket of cold water and heat it to the desired temperature. Hot water, as a rule, has a lot of impurities, can have a red tint, in such water you should not wash white things and things from delicate fabrics.

After collecting water, pour the required amount of powder into it. Note that you can use any powder, even for hand washing. The main thing is to dissolve it well.

And finally, prepare the things and linen that you need to wash. Do not forget about the following rules:

  1. We erase colored linen separately from black and white.
  2. Wash in the Baby machine in small parts so as not to overload the equipment.
  3. Clothes with zippers and buttons need to be buttoned and turned inside out.
  4. Pull everything out of the pockets of clothes.

Turn on the machine

So, the machine and things are prepared, you need to turn it on. This is nothing complicated. Close the machine with a lid, plug the washer’s power cord into the nearest outlet. Then on the case find the timer and turn it for 1-6 minutes, it all depends on the degree of soiling of the laundry. If the laundry is very dirty, you can pre-soak it in the washing machine's tank for about 20-30 minutes, and then start the wash. Very dirty laundry can be scrolled twice.

Note! If you need to turn on the machine several times in a row, then do this at intervals of at least 5-10 minutes. During this time, the engine will cool down, otherwise it may simply burn out.

After one wash cycle, you can wash some more things in the same water. For example, if you first wash white linen, then the second time you can wash something colored or black. After 2-3 wash cycles, the water is drained and clean. Then rinse begins. It is similar to washing. Spin is most often carried out manually.

In centrifuge machines, they do this: drain the water, install the centrifuge in the tank, put the laundry in it and turn the spin switch. In two-tank machines, you need to shift the laundry from one tank to another and also start the spin cycle.

What to do after washing?

Also, the machine needs to be wiped from the outside, if necessary, wetting a cloth in a mild soapy solution. When the machine dries, put it in a storage place.
