To achieve the best results when using an Atlant washing machine, it’s critical to know precisely where to pour your liquid detergent. If you pour it into the incorrect compartment, your clothes may come out residue-free, the machine may eventually sustain damage, or both. Fortunately, it’s an easy process that guarantees your laundry will always come out clean and fresh once you know where everything goes.
An Atlant washing machine’s detergent drawer usually contains three sections. The three types are made for different purposes: fabric softener, main wash, and pre-wash. Knowing which compartment is for liquid detergent is essential to ensuring your machine functions properly. This guarantees that your clothes are washed at the appropriate cycle stage and aids in the proper dissolution of the detergent.
We’ll walk you through the proper procedure for adding liquid detergent, regardless of whether you’ve never used an Atlant washing machine before or just need a fast refresher. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to maintain the best possible appearance for your clothes, use your washing machine effectively, and avoid common mistakes.
| Compartment I (Pre-wash) | For liquid detergent if you"re using a pre-wash cycle. |
| Compartment II (Main wash) | Pour liquid detergent here for the main wash cycle. |
| Compartment III (Fabric softener) | This is for fabric softener, not for liquid detergent. |
Is there a special compartment?
The majority of Atlant washing machines feature a three-compartment detergent dispenser. The biggest, first one is meant for dry powder. When the pre-wash is activated, the product is taken from the second, smaller container. Conditioners, rinses, and stain removers are the additional liquid compositions that go in the third, central, and smallest space.
Numerous users wonder where to pour the concentrate because there isn’t a separate area for liquid detergents. Three options exist, but not all of them are practical or desirable.
- Instead of conditioner. According to logic, liquid products should be poured into the liquid compartment, but this is not so. The fact is that the central cuvette is used by the washing machine only at the rinsing stage. It turns out that the laundry will spin in clean water for the main wash, and rinse, on the contrary, in soapy water. There is also a problem with the dosage – the compartment is very small.
- Instead of dry powder. Some people pour liquid into the compartment for the main wash. The volume is sufficient, the product is taken during washing, but there is a significant "but": the gel immediately flows into the drum before the water appears and, getting on the fabric, spoils things.
- Directly into the drum. If it is not possible to act through the tray, there is only one way – pour the liquid directly into the drum. The main thing is to do it correctly and not allow the concentrate to get on the things.
The third option is the one that those who value the state of the laundry should select. Here, we move forward as follows:
- measure out the required amount of gel, focusing on the type of things and the instructions;
- open the hatch door;
- pour the liquid into the drum;
- as soon as the liquid flows down through the holes in the drum, pour out a mug of clean water (it is necessary to wash off the concentrate from the surface);
- We scroll the drum for several revolutions to give the gel the time to dissolve;
- We load linen into the drum;
- Close the door of the hatch;
- if necessary, add the rinser to the tray;
- Turn on the laundry mode.
It is impossible to use detergent on linen because, in the absence of water, the "corroded" fabric concentrates, exposing and deteriorating the fiber.
The "drum version’s" primary benefit is that it does not allow for direct object contact or concentration. There are, however, a number of disadvantages. First, the water that is still somewhat in the tank fluid merges with the sewer upon recruitment, becoming a part of the final product. Second, in this instance, everything is poured out at once, contrary to some Atlanta programs that advocate a gradual spinning of the powder in 2-3 entries.
To get out of the situation, buying a special powder dosing container is the best course of action. We are referring to plastic balls or cups that are put inside the drum and filled with the product. These devices have holes on their surface that allow the helium solution to be gradually washed out during the washing process. You can now solve two problems at once thanks to this.
How much product should be poured?
After determining the location of the detergent to be poured—into the drum or the powder container—we address the second query: how much? If you can act "by eye" with a composition that has already been tested, then this won’t work with a new one. For the first few times, it is preferable to follow the instructions rather than experimenting.
You can choose the product’s dosage with the assistance of the following recommendations:
- carefully read all the information on the packaging of the product;
- correlate the amount of product and the weight of the things loaded into the drum;
- when choosing a program with double rinsing, it is better to pour more powder;
- when washing in a fast mode, the amount of gel should be reduced;
- if the fabric increases foaming, then the dosage is reduced by 1.5-2 times.
According to the manufacturers, helium concentrates dissolve more quickly, don’t mind being submerged in cold water, and behave gently around fabric. Concentrated liquids are consumed more slowly than their bulk "competitors," which is another "plus" for the economy. All of this is arguable, though, because some dry powder brands have an active natural composition that functions both gently and effectively. It is preferable to make your own leadership choices.
Once you know where to pour it, using liquid detergent in your Atlant washing machine is easy. The detergent drawer has multiple sections, each intended for a distinct kind of detergent and washing cycle. Usually, the compartment designated with the number "II" or a symbol resembling a droplet of liquid should be used for liquid detergent.
Make sure to pour the liquid detergent into the designated compartment only, never into the drawer’s drum or other areas. This guarantees that the detergent is released precisely when needed during the washing cycle, enabling your clothes to be thoroughly cleaned without any residue to remain.
Furthermore, pay attention to how much detergent you use. Since most liquid detergents are concentrated, a little goes a long way. Overdoing it can result in overly strong suds that may not entirely rinse out, leaving your clothes sudsy and your machine in need of further cleaning.
You can maintain the efficiency of your Atlant washing machine and the clean, fresh appearance of your laundry by adhering to these easy steps. Have fun doing the laundry!
Locate the detergent drawer, which is often located on the upper left side of the machine, before adding liquid detergent to an Atlant washing machine. The drawer is divided into compartments; you should fill the main wash compartment (usually identified by a "II") with liquid detergent. In order to prevent over-sudsing and guarantee that your clothes are thoroughly cleaned, be careful not to exceed the maximum fill line. Use the liquid detergent-specific compartment if your machine has one.
