Where to fill the air conditioner in the Indesit washing machine?
Many housewives like to additionally use fabric softener when washing. It makes things very soft and gives them a delicate aroma. To achieve maximum effect, you need to use the rinse correctly. Let's figure out where to fill the air conditioner in the Indesit washing machine, which compartment of the dispenser is intended for these purposes.
Do not mix conditioner and powder
Some users do not think about the fact that there are several sections in the powder receptacle for a reason, and load all the detergents into one, main compartment. Do not pour conditioner into the powder container, otherwise the rinse aid will be washed out at the very beginning of the process and will not have any effect when rinsing.
There is a separate tray for the air conditioner, the location of which may vary depending on the model of the washing machine.
The dispenser for washing powder, rinse aid and other detergents in Indesit machines with vertical loading is located under the top cover. “Front cameras” have a retractable dispenser, it is located in the upper left corner (on some models - on the right).
Rinse aid compartment
Laundry detergents should not be mixed with fabric softener. It’s also not worth choosing a compartment for the air conditioner at random. Pouring directly into the drum, onto a pile of laundry, is pointless. It is very important to find the “native” compartment allocated in the powder receptacle specifically for the rinse aid. It’s not difficult to find the tray; the main thing is to carefully inspect the dispenser.
The standard powder receptacle is divided into 3 sections, so you only have to choose from three options.The largest compartment is intended for washing powder or liquid detergent for the main wash. Nearby there is a similar smaller section, it is necessary for the compositions used in the pre-wash process.
The air conditioning compartment is marked with an identification symbol – the “Flower” icon. It is very difficult to confuse it with the other two trays, since it is made a little differently. The section has a characteristic plastic insert with a hole. This is where you can safely pour the rinse aid.
The tray is marked with an identifying “flower” icon both in vertical Indesits and in front-loading machines. Therefore, you can find a familiar designation on any machine model.
Don't forget the user manual
In general, each SMA comes with instructions that contain all the information that the user may need. The manual also tells you which detergent to put in which compartment. If the document has been lost for a long time, you can try to find it on the Internet.
Usually, there are no difficulties in finding instructions for washing machines, since the Internet contains information about almost any model.
It is possible that the user manual for very old SMAs will be difficult to find. Then you can contact the manufacturer through the feedback form on the website. But usually such a measure is not required, because it is not difficult to find the required section of the powder receiver on your own. However, it is still better to study the instructions, as they contain a lot of useful information regarding the correct operation of the machine.
Take care of the powder receptacle
It is very important to periodically rinse the powder container, which contains detergent particles after each wash. Over time, if not properly maintained, a deposit forms on the surface of the powder receptacle, which negatively affects the quality of the wash. Firstly, water stops flowing normally through the dispenser, and secondly, fungus and mold may appear on the walls and in the depths.
It is not necessary to clean the tray using household chemicals. There are many ways to wash the powder receptacle using folk and inexpensive means.
Lemon acid. It is poured into all sections of the powder receptacle, after which the washing cycle is started, always with an empty drum.
Baking soda. Table vinegar is poured into the tray, after which the area is sprinkled with soda. You need to wait about 20 minutes for the reaction to take place, and then clean the powder container with a brush.
White. It is diluted with water and the cuvette is soaked in this solution. This way you can remove yellowness from the surface of the tray.
You can remove plaque in a very simple way - remove the powder receptacle and wash it in a soapy solution, passing over the surface with a brush with stiff bristles.
Also, to prevent the formation of plaque, it is recommended to rinse and dry the dispenser after each wash. This measure will prevent the formation of mold and mildew. In general, it is worth periodically cleaning not only the detergent tray, but also the entire system in order to minimize the likelihood of scale appearing on the elements of the washing machine.
