Usage Tips
The manufacturer strongly recommends leveling washing machines. It is inappropriate to use them where the temperature drops below 3 degrees Celsius at least for a short time. The connection of the drain hose to the pipe must be done only with the help of a standard holder.
The instruction prohibits washing personal items and easily flammable items in the machine.
It is necessary to connect the device to the mains strictly directly.
The convenience of adapters and extension cords does not justify their danger! The door can only be opened when there is no water in the drum. It is recommended that you save the transit bolts in case you need to transport the machine again. In case of prolonged inactivity, it is necessary to disconnect the device from the mains and pour out all the water from it. When installing, you must carefully look whether all the legs are firmly in place.
Review overview
The opinions of experts about Korting washing machines are generally complimentary. Washing and drying is done properly in them. But it should be noted that some consumers complain about rather loud noises. At first, using such devices is not very easy. When the necessary habit has been developed, problems should no longer arise.
An inconvenience is the lack of a drying mode for residual moisture in a number of models.
Spinning at 800 rpm is not effective enough, after which things remain saturated with water. The design of some versions is too simple and laconic. But the quality-price ratio is always at the level. Also, it's worth noting that program parameters are hard-coded, you cannot change them at your own discretion.
