How to properly use a Gorenje washing machine with a water tank

For homes without a direct water supply, the Gorenje washing machine with an integrated water tank is a practical option. This feature offers flexibility and convenience by enabling laundry to be done even in remote areas.

When this machine is used correctly, it will wash your clothes more effectively and last longer. You can make the most of your Gorenje washer by being aware of how to fill the water tank, select the appropriate wash cycle, and maintain the appliance.

You can handle your laundry chores with confidence no matter where you are by following this guide, which will walk you through the fundamentals of using your Gorenje washing machine with a water tank.

Preparing water for washing

An almost fully autonomous Gorenje washing machine with a water tank functions. The necessary amount of water—roughly 30 to 40 liters, depending on the tank’s volume—is added before it is started. Water quality must meet certain standards; for example, it must not contain insects or debris, which can enter home appliances’ internal parts and cause malfunctions. Consequently, you should fill the container with settled or purified water; if you use water from a river or lake, you must first pre-filter it.

Although the tank has a filter, it is only able to capture large debris particles, so the owner of the home appliance will need to maintain the water’s purity. Open the tank lid, then pour liquid into it until the designated line is reached. The washing machine is ready for use once the lid is closed.

Once you know how to properly fill the tank, choose the right settings for different kinds of laundry, and maintain the machine to ensure optimal performance, using a Gorenje washing machine with a water tank is easy.

Loading detergent

Every household appliance model comes with an operating manual that provides detailed usage instructions. Still, some homemakers put laundry powder straight into the washing machine’s drum rather than into a designated tray. The makers of Gorenje appliances advise against doing this because aggressive ingredients in contemporary detergents can harm fabric or leave stains and marks on it that won’t go away. Detergents should thus only be loaded into a designated compartment.

The Gorenje household appliances’ powder compartment is separated into sections for:

• main wash – loading dry or liquid washing powder, it is marked with the symbols "B" or "II";
• pre-wash – intended for dry powder or gel, it is marked with "A" or "I";
• rinse aid – the smallest compartment where fabric softener is poured, it is marked with a symbol in the form of a flower or an asterisk.

While the other compartments are occasionally used, the main wash compartment is utilized the most frequently.

Additionally, all extra items are placed inside the main wash compartment:

• stain remover;
• bleach;
• anti-scale products.

It is crucial to keep the compartments separate because improper detergent loading can have unfavorable effects on both the contents and the functioning of the home appliance.

Program settings and loading laundry

The housewife won’t have any trouble choosing the preferred washing mode thanks to the Gorenje washing machine’s straightforward and understandable programmer. Press the "Start/Stop" button after repositioning the program switching knob to the desired mark by rotating it clockwise. You can adjust the spin parameters and temperature mode before launching the program.

Washing laundry involves several important and responsible steps, one of which is loading the drum. The right configuration not only yields a superior cleaning outcome but also considerably prolongs the lifespan of the domestic appliance.

You must abide by several guidelines in order to do this. Sort items first according to the kind of fabric, color, and level of contamination. Delicate fabrics of all kinds, including silk, linen, and synthetics, need to be washed apart from one another. You should select one of the following modes for items that have deep, old, or strong stains: soak, pre-wash, or intensive. Washable items that only need to be refreshed can be done quickly or on a daily basis.

Check all of the pockets and take anything out before putting the clothes in the drum to prevent spoiling and/or damage to the household appliance. It is also preferable to manually clean and unscrew any detachable components. Closing all fasteners and turning terry, knit, and outerwear items inside out is advised. This will keep them from becoming damaged while being washed and preserve their original look.

It is simple and practical to use a Gorenje washing machine with a water tank, particularly in homes without a direct water supply. You can guarantee that your laundry will always come out clean and fresh by adhering to the basic guidelines.

Always remember to choose the appropriate washing program, fill the water tank on a regular basis, and maintain the machine by cleaning the drum and filter as needed. By following these easy steps, you can prolong the life of your washing machine and keep it in good working order.

This washer makes laundry day easier and more productive by offering flexibility and dependability, whether you’re washing more delicate fabrics or everyday clothes.
