Fundamental differences from others

Miniature is, of course, a great advantage, especially when the apartment doesn’t turn around anyway. But this is not the only quality that a washing machine should have. There are other small devices, such as a “basin with a motor” - that is, “Baby”, “Oka” and the like, as well as ultrasonic washing machines.

But the wall-mounted washing machine of a famous Korean company is fundamentally different from other small machines, and above all, the principle of operation. Cars, as you know, are:

• activator;
• drum.

All previous miniature models were activator type, that is, washing occurred due to the rotation of the screw with blades. And Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC is the world's first drum hanging machine. It erases in the same way as ordinary automatic machines.

Unit Specifications

Having decided to get this almost “toy assistant”, pay attention to such moments:

• maximum load;
• washing modes;
• washing class;
• spin class;
• spin speed;
• presence of indication;
• management method;
• accidental lock;
• dimensions and weight.

Maximum load

The capacity of such a machine is small - the maximum load is only 3 kg.

What does this threaten? The fact that it is impossible to wash large items in it - a heavy cotton blanket, for example. But how often do you wash cotton blankets? It is unlikely that you do this every day and even every month.

As for the rest, it is very easy to calculate how much linen fits in a wall-mounted washing machine, if each item weighs:

• duvet cover - 700 g;
• a sheet - 500 g;
• pillowcase - 200 g;
• wool blanket - 1200-1500 g:
• terry towel - 700 g;
• adult jeans - 800 g.

Important! It turns out that washing at a time is not so small - 4 duvet covers, for example, or a whole bunch of underpants and T-shirts, plus a few pillowcases. Loading at the wall-mounted Daewoo washing machine - frontal.

Talk about washing

The main task of the washing machine is to wash. Wall-mounted Daewoo machine, in principle, a good helper. Her washing class is designated as B, but those who have used such a machine claim that she launders it very efficiently.

Important! The maximum water temperature that such a machine gives is 80 ° C. A full wash cycle is 29 minutes.

As for the modes, there are 6 of them:

• cold water;
• cotton 40 ° C;
• cotton 60 ° C;
• delicate wash;
• baby clothes;
• spin.

In addition, it is possible to start the machine in the "Rinse + Spin" mode.

Important! The manufacturer defined the spin class as C. The maximum speed is 700 revolutions. The indicator is average, but even among large units you will find ones that give 500 or even 400 rpm, so 700 is a worthy parameter.

Delicate washing became possible, including thanks to the honeycomb drum - honeycombs do not damage the fabric.

Important! The machine has a convenient tray for detergents, with different compartments for powder and conditioner.

Important! Probably, everyone had a situation when instead of powder for washing in a washing machine, they purchased powder for hand washing? Follow the link and find out if use this machine wash powder.

Talk about management

There are several types of controls for washing machines:

• mechanical;
• electronic;
• some kind of hybrid with elements of both.

The Daewoo wall-mounted machine is electronically controlled. It belongs to the category of “smart technology”, when the owner only needs to determine the program and load powder and linen.

Important! Nice additions to the Daewoo washing machine:

1. a display that shows what the unit is doing at the moment and if there are any problems;
2. There is protection against accidental pressing, so you can be sure that a child who is interested in the spectacular appearance of a new device will not be able to interrupt the washing at the most inopportune moment.

Dimensions and economy

The Daewoo wall-mounted washing machine is quite economical. It belongs to energy class A. This is a high class, although now there are super-economical automatic machines A + or even A ++.

Choose a place

The main advantage of the Daewoo Electronics DWD-CV701PC is that it does not “eat” a centimeter of usable area. The second plus - do not think about the fact that the floor should be perfectly flat.

Important! The bias can be any, but not 1 °, as for “Baby”, and not 2 °, as for large automatic machines. You can ignore the floor altogether.

However, the hanging washing machine makes its demands on other elements of the apartment:

• to the walls;
• to the location of the sewer pipes.

What walls can I hang on?

You can hang it at any height. However, you need to choose a suitable wall. You can not use plaster and plywood partitions, you can hang the machine only on the bearing wall:

• concrete;
• brick.

Important! The wall should be without internal cavities and voids.

Sewage requirements

Pay attention also to the location of the sewer pipes. The fact is that the wall-mounted machine does not have a pump, that is, water is drained directly. So:

• Sewer pipe must be located directly under the machine so that you can correctly insert.
• The unit can be hung over a bathtub or toilet.

Important! The height does not play a role, the washer is equipped with hoses of the required length.

Please note that the water is drained as far as possible through a straight hose, without any loops and bends. Imagine what you wash in the most ordinary bath: you closed the drain hole, filled the tank with water, washed, pulled out the cork - the water was gone.

Important! Hard water is the main enemy of technology.Scale can damage the washing machine, so you should fight it. Our separate review is dedicated to the most popular descaler - Calgon.

Which room to hang in?

You can hang the device in any room:

• in the bathroom;
• in the kitchen;
• in the corridor.

The requirements for the premises are the same as for standard automatic machines:

• the room should not be too cold;
• Do not put the unit in an unheated barn, where the temperature drops to minus points.

Important! Neighborhood with the children's room does not play a role, the motor runs silently, since it is brushless. It practically does not cause vibration - of course, if the unit is correctly suspended.

We hang the unit

So, you figured out the place, now it's up to you - you need to hang the Daewoo washing machine, and so that it:

• did not vibrate;
• did not splash water out;
• did not break during work.

Important! If you are not very confident in your abilities - call the wizard from the service center. But actually there is nothing complicated in fixing a unit weighing about thirty kilograms (along with water and linen) on the wall. Moreover, understandable instructions are attached to the machine, which must be read before you get down to business.

We deal with a complete set

In the kit you will find everything you need - tubes and fasteners. In the package you will find:

• drain hose;
• water intake hose;
• hose fitting;
• power cable;
• branch pipe;
• anchor bolts;
• incoming water filter.

Important! To suspend the machine, you will need 4 anchor bolts and tools in order to fix them.

Water connection

For this, the kit includes:

• water intake hose;
• hose fitting.

As with a conventional automatic machine, several connection options are possible:

• through crimp couplings;
• through fitting;
• through the tee.

What to give preference to?

• If the pipe is metal, a sleeve is placed on it. It consists of two parts, which are pulled together by bolts, and the crane is mounted on a special thread.
• The fitting is suitable for metal pipes.
• But the simplest and most popular way is to connect via a tee, when a special mixer is simply installed - it is easy to find in any hardware store.

Sewerage

When using the Daewoo Electronics mini-machine, there are two options for using the sewer system:

• discharge the drain into the sewer pipe;
• Do not connect anything anywhere, but pour dirty water into the toilet or bath.

Important! Most owners of such units use the second option - it is simpler and does not require any additional effort.

Testing car

Like any automatic machine, Daewoo Electronics must be tested before the first wash, that is, run without laundry, by setting a full wash cycle. This allows you to determine if there are leaks, and observe whether the motor gives vibrations.

If everything is in order, you can conduct an experimental wash. First you need to sort things by type of fabric, color and degree of pollution. Farther:

1. Load the laundry - no more than the maximum allowed amount.
2. Extend the detergent container - you will easily find it on the front wall.
3. Pour the powder into the largest compartment.
4. Pour air conditioning into a small container with an asterisk.
5. Slide the container in the direction of the arrow drawn on it.
6. Set the mode.
7. Start the car.

Important! Powders for automatic machines are suitable for a hanging washing machine.

Important points

In fact, the wash basically goes the same as in a standard automatic machine. But there are several differences:

• When working with a wall-mounted mini-unit, you cannot independently choose, for example, temperature or time. You just set the mode - “cold water”, “cotton” or “delicate washing”, and then the machine does everything itself.
• You can not arbitrarily set the spin mode. He is only one, those very 700 rpm. But to observe how the machine behaves when it squeezes the laundry is absolutely necessary. It often happens that when washing the motor behaves normally, and during the spin cycle it starts to vibrate strongly. In this case, you need to check the mountings - the engine should not give any vibrations at all.
