How to turn on an Indesit washing machine

New appliances always bring not only the joy of the purchase but also new questions about how to use this new "gadget." Not everyone can immediately figure out how to turn on an Indesit washing machine. Today, we'll explain in detail how to activate the machine, the best way to load laundry with detergent, and the necessary maintenance after each wash. First, we'll cover preparing the washing machine for the cycle.

First, let's deal with the powder drawer.

First, you need to examine and prepare the detergent drawer, also known as the powder compartment. The drawer in Indesit appliances is rectangular, with a convenient handhold for easy removal and reinstallation. The tray has four compartments, three fixed ones that cannot be pulled out, and one removable one. The purpose of the departments is as follows:

• The first compartment, if you look at the tray from left to right, is needed for pre-washing, which is also considered soaking;
• The second compartment is designed for regular washing. This is the main compartment, used during almost every wash cycle. Simply add detergent and start the wash;
• The third compartment is for fabric softener. If you want your laundry to be soft, pleasant to the touch, and smell amazing, pour 30-45 milliliters of any fabric softener into the third compartment.
• Finally, the last compartment is inserted into the dispenser only when the whitening mode is to be activated. To do this, the fourth compartment must be placed directly into the very first compartment.

Carefully read the instructions for your Indesit washing machine, as in addition to helpful tips, they also indicate that the fourth compartment should be kept inside the dispenser while the machine is running only if you need the "bleach" mode. In any other case, this compartment will only interfere with the normal functioning of the device.

We put the equipment into operation

Turning on an Indesit washing machine seems simple, with no complexities or quirks. However, this isn't the case, as even starting the wash cycle has its own nuances, which are described below.

• Connect your “home assistant” to the power supply.
• Press the power button on the equipment.

After activating the machine, all program indicators should light up for a few seconds and then go out, while the power light should blink - this will be a signal that the household appliance is working properly and is ready to use.

• Add laundry if this isn't your first wash. If this is your first time using the washing machine, use the standard wash cycle without adding any laundry to ensure the inside of the machine is cleaned of any factory dirt and won't stain your laundry.
• We select the required program using the selector.
• We turn the handle responsible for selecting the water temperature.
• Add detergent and conditioner to the powder tray.
• And only now you can press the “Start” button, which will start the work.

After these manipulations, all that remains is to wait for the cycle to end, after which other procedures await you aimed at preserving your laundry and washing machine.

What to do after washing?

It's not enough to simply start the wash cycle, do the laundry, take out the laundry, and forget about your "home helper." An Indesit washing machine is a very useful household appliance, and like any other high-tech appliance, it requires special, careful care. Here are some steps to take after each cycle.

• To prevent moisture from remaining inside, be sure to wipe each elastic band inside the laundry compartment, the inside of the door and drum, and all compartments of the detergent drawer with a dry cloth.
• Do not close the door or detergent drawer for several hours after the cycle has completed, as they need to be ventilated and dry.
• It is advisable not only to turn off the water after washing, but also to de-energize household appliances for safety.
• Clean the machine's waste and flow filters from time to time, and also rinse the powder dispenser to remove any remaining detergent.

When using your Indesit washing machine, it's crucial to pay close attention to its operation. If you notice any unusual noises or crackling sounds during the wash cycle, contact a service center specialist for assistance. It's always easier to prevent problems with smart devices than to fix them later.
