Where to pour powder in an Indesit washing machine

If, when hand-washing, there is no doubt where to put the powder, then with an automatic washing machine this seemingly elementary procedure sometimes causes difficulties. Especially if you are facing an unfamiliar model of a washing machine or even the first acquaintance with an automatic machine. It’s difficult to understand: some are advised to use a special compartment, others get special jars, and still others send detergent directly to the drum.

It is better not to experiment and act according to the instructions: use the provided powder receiver. There is a similar one in Indesit washing machines, and before starting a new cycle it is recommended to thoroughly study the design of the tray. It will help you figure out where to pour and pour what - the information below.

Purpose of powder tray cells

Almost all powder trays in Indesit washing machines are similar. They are retractable, located on the left side of the upper panel of the machine and have three sections that are used for different detergents and washing modes. It is easy to understand which compartment to pour the powder into and where to pour the concentrate, if you focus on the notation.

1. “I”, “1”, “A” - the medium-sized compartment, which is provided for the prewash program.
2. “II”, “2”, “B / B” - the largest section used for the main modes.
3. “*” Or flower image - for conditioners, rinses and other softening liquids.

Dividing into compartments allows the machine to gradually add the necessary amount of detergent at each washing step. Therefore, it is not recommended to practice falling asleep powder directly on a pile of linen lying in the drum. The opinion about the cost-effectiveness of this method is a common myth, which is exacerbated by negative aspects:

• the powder is quickly washed off at the very beginning of washing;
• clothing often sheds and deteriorates (when a handful of concentrated substances gets on a linen dye);
• the drum is quickly contaminated (leachable powder settles in large quantities on the inner walls).

The listed problems are easy to avoid: it is enough to correctly fill in and pour cleaning agents into the machine. Searching for alternatives is only necessary in one case - if the powder indesit is poured into the cell of the tray of the washing machine, it is poorly washed with water. Then you have to repair the powder receiver yourself or contact the after-sales service. But even with a non-functioning compartment, it can be washed without risking a typewriter and laundry.

The machine does not take powder from the tray

Yes, you can pour the powder into the washing machine drum, but do not rush - it is unsafe and useless. It is much more efficient and cheaper to purchase a special dispenser in the form of a plastic jar with numerous holes in the lid. The capacity is easily filled, placed inside the machine and optimally replaces the powder receptacle due to several advantages:

• the laundry does not directly come in contact with cleaning chemicals, which protects the fabric from the negative effects of concentrates;
• the scale applied to the jar helps to measure the required amount of powder;
• holes dispense the flow of detergent into the water, which allows you to evenly distribute the powder throughout the wash cycle;
• the drum remains clean due to the gradual dissolution of the product.

Important! No dispenser can completely replace the powder receptacle and is used only as a temporary alternative. In a half-empty drum, the jar creates additional noise and pressure, touching the walls and the front glass at high speed.

In addition to powder products, this container is perfect for gels and conditioners. Therefore, it is not forbidden to place two cups in a washing machine at once.Moreover, such a device can be made independently: it is enough to cut about ten different-sized holes on any plastic jar.

A special tray in the washing machines is provided for good reason. Gradual addition, gentle washing and gentle cleansing - all this makes the wash quality and safe. Therefore, it is important to use the powder receiver correctly and for its intended purpose, and in case of breakdown, do not delay the repair and have harmless spare options.
