Economic consumption of detergents, electrical energy, time and water

To save detergents, energy, water and time, you need to follow a few simple rules when using the Indesit Wisl 82 washing machine:

• To save resources, the maximum load of the washing unit is required. The use of one washing cycle with a full drum loading instead of two program cycles, in which the hatch device is half loaded, contributes to energy savings of up to 50%.
• The prewash process is only recommended for heavily soiled laundry, since the prewash program uses much more detergent, water and time. In addition, 10-15% more electrical energy is used.
• If you previously use a stain remover to treat stains or soak the laundry before washing, you can apply a program with a lower temperature regime. This procedure can save up to 50% of electrical energy.
• The use of a washing unit in the morning or evening will avoid peak load on the electrical network.
• When using automatic drying, it is necessary to use high revolutions, which saves time and electric energy.
• The hardness of the water, the degree of soiling of the laundry, the volume of the loaded drum affect the dosage of the detergent. Excess detergent does not contribute to washing efficiency, and vice versa - it can cause the formation of plaque on the inside of the unit.

Important! It is strictly forbidden to use detergents that are intended for manual operation, as the abundant foam formed during washing reduces the effectiveness and can lead to damage to the washing machine.
