Where to pour the conditioner in the Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine?

In order for the fabric softener to work as it should and give things a delicious aroma and softness, you need to choose the right product and also know where to pour the conditioner in the washing machine. After all, the dispenser has several compartments for different types of products, and if you place the rinse aid in the wrong place, the result may disappoint the owner. Let's figure out where you still need to fill the air conditioner using the example of a Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine.

Special compartment in the drawer for funds

Many people wonder why break the powder receptacle into sections at all, since everything will still end up inside the drum during the washing process. However, if you think about it, you can quite naturally come to the conclusion that the washing machine does not take all the products at once, but does it depending on the current stage of washing, that is, in portions.

For example, the conditioner should be removed from the tray after washing, at the rinsing stage, and the main product, on the contrary, should be taken first. This is what the compartments in the SM are designed for; the machine is programmed to take funds from one or another section at a certain stage of the cycle.

Important! If you place conditioner in the main wash compartment, the washing machine will use it up ahead of time, things will not be washed, and the product will be wasted.

In Hotpoint-Ariston washing machines, it is very easy to identify the air conditioner compartment - it is marked with a symbol of a flower, a butterfly, and so on, unlike the other two compartments, numbered with Roman numerals. In addition, the rinse aid section features an intricately shaped plastic insert. This is where the rinse aid should be placed.The detergent for the main wash is placed in the tray under number II.

Purpose of the powder receptacle compartments SM

We have already found out that the air conditioning compartment is indicated by a picture and is characterized by the presence of a special insert. In Hotpoint-Ariston washing machines, this section is located to the left of all the others.

The section under the Roman numeral I is located slightly to the right and is intended for pre-washing particularly dirty items. Simply put, a pre-soak agent is added there. You should place the product in the machine only in cases where the selected program automatically assumes this step, or if you select it separately.

The section marked with the Roman symbol II is designed for the main detergent. It is also not difficult to identify this compartment, since it is clearly more spacious and larger than the others. This is logical, since the main product tray always holds more product and is used regularly. Powder or gel is added to this section for any type of washing. If this is not done, things will rinse without any chemicals. processing.

Take care of the powder receptacle

Hygiene when using a washing machine involves careful care of the powder receptacle as well. The fact is that the machine is sometimes mechanically unable to remove the entire product from the tray, down to the grain.

Note! Residues of the product harden over time and form a hard coating, which subsequently forms real growths when accumulated.

If you do not clean off the build-up, sooner or later the machine will completely lose access to the product in the tray and will not accept it. There are several methods for cleaning the powder receptacle.

• Remove it and clean it thoroughly with a washcloth, brush or stiff sponge.
• Pour lemon juice (1 tablespoon each) into all sections and start the cycle without items.
• Pour baking soda into the compartments and fill with a 9% acetic acid solution. Leave it like this for a quarter of an hour and then brush it.

The combination of soda and acetic acid also returns the plastic to its original white color (over time, plastic tends to turn yellow).
