Where to pour powder in a Bosch washing machine

powder tray in SM BoschFinding out where to pour the powder in the Bosch washing machine is easy to get the highest quality wash possible. Many housewives, without even bothering to read the instructions, begin to pour the remedy on a hunch, and then it turns out that they poured it into the wrong compartment. We decided to remove this question once and for all, telling in the framework of a small publication about which compartment of the Bosch washing cuvette with front and top loading it is necessary to pour a particular detergent. Without delaying further, we will begin.

Add powder

Most often, we just need to wash the laundry with standard powder for washing machines. Pull out the powder tray and inspect it. The Bosch washing machine cuvette most often has three compartments:

  • left compartment, the widest and deepest;
  • middle compartment, narrow with a plastic tongue;
  • the right compartment, which differs from the left by a slightly smaller size.

We will be interested in the left compartment for now. Since it is the widest and deepest, it means this is the compartment for the main wash. A lot of powder will fit into it and it is there that we will pour this powder. To find the compartment for the main wash help symbols that are squeezed out in front. The main wash compartment is indicated by either the Roman numeral II, the Arabic numeral 2, or the letter B. Most often you can meet II. If you saw such a designation, it means that you can pour powder into this tray.

In the event that you choose a program that involves pre-soaking things, you need to pour powder into the right tray as well. It is smaller and can be indicated by:

  • Roman numeral I;
  • Arabic numeral 1;
  • letter A.

You do not need to put powder in this tray unless you turn on pre-soaking. The product will not be washed into the tank on time and the washing quality will be seriously affected.

Trays for vertical loading washers have approximately the same cell layout and the same designations, only these trays look different. The left cell is for additional washing, medium (large) for the main wash. Nothing complicated.

Add the rest of the laundry detergent.

Housewives are also interested in where to pour air conditioning, as well as liquid powder. Let's start with the air conditioner. In the standard tray, the rinse aid compartment is in the middle. It is impossible to mix it up, because it is partially blocked by the tongue of the blocker, which differs in color. This cell is small in size, but it can easily accommodate 30-50 ml of fabric softener, which will give the washed items a unique aroma and softness.

With rinse aid, everything is simple, but where to pour liquid powder, because there is no special compartment for it. In fact, in modern expensive Bosch washing machines, the cell is not divided into three, but into four compartments. The fourth compartment is for liquid powder, but this is rather the exception to the rule. The vast majority of Bosch machine trays do not have a gel compartment, which means that it needs to be poured into the main wash compartment (II) or in a special plastic container, which in turn fits into the drum with dirty laundry. In both cases, the washing quality will be acceptable, but the machine will not be able to reveal the full potential of the liquid product.container for funds

In addition to the usual detergents, special capsules for washing actively enter into use. They should not be placed in the powder receptacle, since there they are poorly soluble. Capsules should be placed in a special container, and this container should be placed in a drum.

Why can’t you put the capsule directly into the drum on a pile of dirty laundry? The fact is that when dissolved, the capsule will release concentrated detergent, which, if it gets on the thing, can spoil it, leaving a stain. A plastic container will ensure the gradual dissolution of the capsule and prevent the concentrate from getting directly onto things.

So, we discussed in the framework of this topic all that we wanted. If you still have questions, ask them on the forum or in the comments to the article, and we will complete our story on this and wish you good luck!
