Where to pour powder in a Candy washing machine?

One of your first concerns about using a Candy washing machine is probably where to put the laundry detergent. Making the most of your washing machine and guaranteeing that your clothes come out clean and fresh depend on this easy step.

Every washing machine model may have a slightly different configuration, so it’s important to know which compartment is right for the detergent. The proper placement of detergent, whether it is liquid or powder, guarantees a seamless wash cycle.

We’ll take you through each of the Candy washing machine’s compartments in this guide, including where to put the detergent for optimal results. Let’s get started and make sure you’re prepared for your upcoming load of laundry!

Powder Type Compartment
Main Wash Powder Compartment 2 (usually the largest one)
Pre-wash Powder Compartment 1 (usually the smallest one)
Fabric Softener Compartment 3 (usually the one with a flower symbol)

What are the powder receptacle compartments for?

Using a dedicated detergent dispenser is the first rule when adding detergent. It is a pull-out drawer that is frequently referred to as a powder receptacle. This bin is typically divided into three sections, with each section of the tray designated for a different program or kind of concentrate in Candy machines. The size or markings on the cuvette will reveal its intended use. Each of the powder receptacle’s compartments has a unique label.

  • "I" is the first compartment on the right, which has an average size. Powder is poured into it or gel is poured in only when the "Pre-wash" program is turned on.
  • "II" – the largest compartment, located on the left. Designed for the main wash, so this is where the concentrate is added when starting any mode.
  • "*" or a schematic image of a flower – the central and smallest cuvette. As a rule, the compartment also differs in color, having a blue or blue tint. Additional liquids are poured into the drum through it, for example, a softener, conditioner, fragrance or bleach.

Only the supplied dispenser should be used to pour powder into; this allows the detergent to progressively seep into the drum for superior washing.

For a number of reasons, it is highly discouraged to pour the detergent straight into the drum rather than using the powder container. First of all, aggressive concentrate stains and damages fabric if it gets on laundry. Second, because the machine repeatedly empties and refills with water throughout the cycle, the powder will rapidly wash out of the tank. Following the instructions and not experimenting or depending on chance is preferable when using the machine.

What confusion leads to?

The washing machine won’t be harmed by repeated use of the tray in violation of the guidelines. But the repercussions won’t be far off, and the quality of the laundry will suffer due to user confusion with the dispenser. Simply put, clothes won’t be cleaned; they’ll stay filthy or soapy.

The truth is that Candy pulls the detergent from a specific compartment based on the cycle’s selected mode and stage. The laundry in the drum will spin in vain if you mix up the cuvette and, for example, pour the powder into bin "II" rather than the necessary "I." This will leave the granules intact. Pouring the concentrate into the "*" compartment is not the best option because the items are only cleaned when switching to rinsing, and the primary wash is done in clean water. The clothes at the exit are therefore filthy and soapy.

Accurate filling of the powder dispenser is essential; mishandling the compartments will degrade the wash quality.

Luckily, there isn’t much damage done. It’s simple to begin a second wash, check the dispenser’s fill, or give the laundry one more rinse. In any event, though, you will be required to make up for the error by paying for housing and community services with money and time. Identifying the confusion is crucial, as failing to do so may result in an ugly object or an allergic reaction.

It’s essential to know where to add powder in a Candy washing machine if you want your clothes to come out crisp and clean. Whether you use liquid, powder, or even fabric softener, this guide will show you how to use each compartment specifically made for detergent so you can avoid common blunders and get the most out of your wash.

Adding the product to the drum

Some homemakers choose to pour the detergent straight into the drum rather than using the tray, which they purposefully refuse to use. There are those who oppose this plan, and the arguments haven’t stopped for a number of years. The primary contention of the "For" group is that powder should be used sparingly because, during its "journey" from the dispenser to the tank, part of the granules wash out and remain on the walls; however, this "leak" is not present when the powder is applied directly to objects. It’s true that opponents contest these advantages, arguing that because water is replaced multiple times during washing, a large percentage of the concentrate is wasted.

The official stance is still unchanged: manufacturers and experts advise using a dispensary exclusively. Exceptions ought to be made only in dire circumstances, such as when the dispenser malfunctions or a comparable occurrence takes place. However, even in these circumstances, following a specific plan of action is required:

  • do not sprinkle granules on things (aggressive bleaching agents will react with the fibers, which will lead to discoloration and damage to the fabric);
  • add detergent to an empty drum;
  • be sure to rinse the remaining granules into the tank with water or cover the slide with a damp cloth or an old handkerchief;
  • only then fill the drum with clothes.

Pouring powder or gel into a specialized container is the best option. This is a plastic container that has a lot of holes all over it. These dispensers occasionally include Candy, but most of the time you have to purchase the hardware store separately. It costs between 30 and 150 rubles, so it’s not very expensive.

Knowing where to pour the detergent in your Candy washing machine is the first step towards using it effectively. You can make sure the machine operates smoothly and that your clothes are washed completely by placing the powder in the appropriate compartment.

Recall that the majority of Candy washing machines feature a three-compartment detergent drawer. Usually, you want to pour the powder into the main wash compartment. Make sure to put fabric softener and pre-wash detergent in the appropriate sections if you use them.

To get the most out of your washing machine, just follow these easy steps. When the detergent compartments are used properly, both your machine and your clothes will stay clean.
