Where to pour gel in a Haier washing machine
Not all housewives correctly understand where to pour washing gel in a Haier washing machine. Some people think that the large compartment is exclusively for dry powder, so they pour the liquid product into the conditioner compartment. This is a big mistake.
Gel is a liquid washing powder. If you add it to the conditioner section, it will only be fed into the machine at the rinsing stage. In addition to the fact that stains from clothes are not removed, the detergent will also remain on the fabric, which can cause allergies or skin irritation. Let's figure out where to pour the composition.
What does the gel compartment look like?
Some users believe that it makes no difference which compartment of the tray they add the gel to. This is wrong. Automatic machine Haier does not accept detergent from the powder receptacle simultaneously, but according to the cycle stage. Therefore, it is very important to correctly distribute the compositions among the compartments.
For example, the gel must enter the tank of the machine immediately. Liquid laundry detergent is used at the initial stage of the cycle. The composition dissolves in water and its particles begin to actively fight stains.
The conditioner gets into the machine when rinsing. This stage of the cycle is aimed precisely at washing out the remaining detergent from the fabric fibers. If you add gel to the rinse aid compartment, it will not lead to anything good.
Detergent trays for Haier SMA differ depending on the model.
There are washing machines whose powder receptacle has only 2 compartments. The left compartment is focused on the main wash, the right one (with a blue “tab”) is used for conditioner-rinse aid.The gel is added to the left section, in the same place as the regular powder.
Other Haier machines have a standard drawer with three compartments. The largest one, the one on the left, marked with a Roman or Arabic two, is intended for dry powder or washing gel. The middle one is used for air conditioning. The agent on the far right is added when the pre-soak mode is started.
First of all, you need to focus on the sizes of the departments and their designations. For example, the Haier HW60-BP12758 model has compartments that are not “scattered” as usual. The main wash tray is located in the middle and is the largest. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to pour the gel into the center.
On some Haier models, the powder receptacle has as many as 4 compartments: for bleach, liquid detergent, dry powder and softener. Here you need to focus on the notation. If you have even the slightest doubt about where to pour the gel, be sure to look at the instructions for the equipment.
Figuring out where to pour the washing gel is very simple. Most often - in the largest compartment of the powder receptacle. If the machine has a completely non-standard tray, with four compartments - according to the instructions for the equipment.
Removing and cleaning the powder receptacle
It is important to remember to periodically clean and dry the powder receptacle. Residues of detergent, rust, and limescale accumulate on the walls of the tray. In very advanced cases, mold appears in the cuvette.
Periodically wash and dry the powder receptacle, ideally after each use of the washing machine.
To properly clean the powder receptacle, you need to remove it from the washing machine. It's easy to do:
- pull out the cuvette as far as it will go;
- Maintaining slight tension with one hand, press the plastic tab inside the dispenser with your free hand;
- remove the entire powder container.
Now you can start cleaning. If the contamination is light and there is no thick deposit on the walls yet, it will be enough to simply wash the cuvette in warm water with a soft sponge. Then dry the powder receptacle and only then put it back in the washing machine.
You will have to tinker a little with powder receptacles that already have rust or limescale inside. In this case, a complete cleaning will be required. To begin, detach the front of the cuvette by pressing the latches along the edges (some Hayer washing machine trays are collapsible). Further:
- take a large saucepan (the powder container should fit freely into it);
- pour 5-7 liters of boiling water into it;
- add a glass of citric acid to the water;
- Mix everything well until the granules are completely dissolved;
- place the powder receiver in the resulting solution;
- leave the cuvette to “soak” for 30 minutes;
- Clean off any remaining dirt and plaque with a sponge;
- Rinse the dispenser under running warm water.
Citric acid will perfectly clean the Haier CMA powder receptacle, so there is no need to buy special expensive products. After finishing the procedure, dry the dispenser and put it back into the machine. To prevent dirt and deposits from accumulating in the cuvette, it is better to rinse it after each use of the washing machine.
