What are the advantages and disadvantages of such equipment? We will answer this and many other pressing questions in this article.

Top-loading washing machine is a compact appliance that will help save space

Loading washing powder

Washing powder is loaded into a special powder tray, which has three compartments:

• the left compartment is for the main wash;
• right – for preliminary;
• medium - for air conditioning.

This distribution of compartments is typical for almost all brands of washing machines. On Zanussi machines, on the front panel of the tray there is a reminder about the purpose of its compartments. For other models, you can always check by looking at the user manual, which includes a complete guide to operating the machine.

When adding powder, you should follow the dosage. It is usually indicated on the packaging.

Some are sure that the more powder, the higher the quality of washing. This is a misconception, leading to the fact that excess powder is poorly rinsed, and then becomes a source of allergic diseases.

Flaws

Any appliance has its pros and cons, and the Zanussi top-loading washing machine is no exception. The choice of models is not as wide as compared to front-facing analogues. This is explained simply: cars with the usual round hatches located on the front wall are more popular. Consequently, manufacturers are investing more time and money in expanding the model range of just such equipment.

From a purely practical point of view, such washing machines also have a disadvantage - you cannot place household items, laundry baskets or detergents on the top cover. Due to the upper location of the loading hatch, such a unit is difficult to integrate into a built-in kitchen set.

General tips for working with Zanussi washing machines

Zanussi washing machines are durable and reliable. Their main advantages are the ability to work in accelerated or silent mode, the presence of programs that provide delicate cleaning of children's things, energy saving and disinfection. The company also provided consumers with the ability to quickly determine the cause of problems using codes displayed on the display.

The causes of breakdowns and emergency situations are often non-compliance with the rules and recommendations specified in the instructions, incorrect installation or frequent power failures.

Starting the washing process

The machine is turned on by pressing the “ON” button. The cycle is started by pressing the “START” button. When the wash starts, the indicator shows the time before it will end.

Important! Many modern models, such as Zanussi, have a delayed start option. This means that you yourself can determine when to turn on the machine by specifying a specific time.

If you prepare the machine with laundry, set the delayed start mode, setting the start, for example, at 5 o’clock in the morning, you can easily forget about it. The device can turn on at the appointed time and carry out the specified program. And all you need to do is take out your clean laundry in the morning.

Important! By doing laundry at night, you will significantly save on the difference between day and night electricity tariffs

Advantages

There is an opinion that front-loading washing machines are more reliable than vertical ones. But this is just a stereotype - the location of the loading hatch in no way affects the quality of washing and the durability of the unit. If you plan to install the machine in a cramped bathroom or small closet, then feel free to choose a top-loading model.

Loading of laundry is carried out through the top hatch

The main advantages of such equipment:

1. Small dimensions. The standard width of the unit is 60 cm, depth – 40 cm, height – up to 90 cm.
2. Optimal loading volumes. According to this indicator, the units do not differ from their front-loading counterparts.
3. Ease of use. Due to the fact that the hatch is located on top, during the washing process you can pause the program and add laundry to the drum.
4. Safety for children. The control panel is located on the lid, making it difficult for small children to reach and press buttons. In addition, a small child will not be able to attempt to open the drum hatch.
