SMA (automatic washing machine) - a machine that requires minimal user participation. СМА is connected to communications: water supply system, electric networks, sewerage, equipped with automatic programs.
Drum auto balancing. Before starting the spin, the machine checks to see if the drum is evenly loaded. If the laundry is knocked down in one lump, the machine tries to distribute things by slowly scrolling the drum alternately in different directions.
Automatic dosage -automatic selection of the amount of washing powder needed for washing. The calculation takes into account the volume of loaded laundry, the type of fabric, the degree of pollution and the hardness of the water.
Automatic water level control (ALS, auto-weighing). The function, which is aimed at maintaining the optimum volume of water, to improve the quality of washing, optimize the waste of detergents and resources, protect things from possible damage.
Auto cleaning (self cleaning) - automatic drum cleaning system. The function provides for starting the “idle” (without laundry) washing cycle at the maximum permissible temperature and rinsing in a large amount of water.
Activators (rebollers) - ribs inside the drum of the washing machine. Usually plastic. The main task: to balance the drum, mix the contents.
Antiallergy — wash cycle to remove allergens in the CMA Hotpoint-Ariston and AEG. Provides a rinse of linen with water heating of 60 ° C.
Tank - A completely ALL container in which water is filled with detergent for washing. And the drum is inside the tank - you load things into it. The tank can be plastic and stainless. A plastic tank is quieter and cheaper, stainless - expensive, but durable. Usually consists of two halves, it can be collapsible and not collapsible.
Drum (not to be confused with a tank) - the capacity in which the user loads the laundry. The part is mounted inside the tank on bearings.
Biophase. The mode in washing machines to remove organic contaminants. In this mode, powders and gels with enzymes are most effective.
Quick wash - A short wash program suitable for lightly soiled laundry. Most often, the “Quick wash” button allows you to reduce the execution time of almost any program. If near the button (division on the selector) “Quick wash” there is a number: 12/15/20 and so on - this is a separate program with an indication of the time. For example, “Quick 15” is a quick wash that takes 15 minutes.
