Adding detergents
In order for the quality of washing to be high, it is necessary not only to be able to dose the detergents used. It is also important to learn how to distribute them between the compartments of the powder receptacle.
The detergent tray contains four compartments: three of them are main, and one is additional, installed if necessary.
- The first cell, located on the left, is used for prewash. You only need to add powder to it when the selected program includes pre-wash.
- The compartment located in the middle is used for the main wash. You need to pour or add detergent there in any case.
- The section on the right is for conditioner and other similar additives.
- The additional cell is mounted directly into the first compartment. It is intended for bleach.
There is no need to use too much washing powder. Indeed, in such cases it will not be completely washed out of the powder receptacle. As a result, the tray will become dirty and the machine pipes will become clogged. The instructions for the Indesit WISL 82 machine indicate that you cannot put powder intended for hand washing into it.
When starting the prewash, the fourth compartment must be removed. You only need to insert an additional cell when you start bleaching things. The bleach is poured into a small jar located in the middle of the cell. Then you need to close the tray with the powder cells and start the program.
Unit care
During operation of the machine, you need to monitor its technical condition. Otherwise, an unpleasant surprise awaits you in the future in the form of an unexpected breakdown of the device.
The tee tap must be closed at the end of each wash. It is necessary to wash and wipe dry the rubber cuff of the car hatch. The powder receptacle must be regularly removed and cleaned under running water. Residues of washing powder should not accumulate on its inner walls.
After finishing washing, the hatch must be left ajar. This is necessary to prevent mold and unpleasant odors from appearing inside the unit. The garbage filter needs to be cleaned every six months. Dirt and various small objects accumulate there.
The inlet hose should also be inspected annually. It should not have mechanical damage or cracks. If leaks occur, this element must be immediately replaced with a new one.
