Where to load detergents in the washing machine? This issue remains relevant, as a competent filling of the dispenser will help every housewife save money and make laundry quality.

Location of the tray

Washing machine vertical loading. In the washing machine with the hatch on top, the powder receptacle is attached from the inside of the lid. Such a tray is usually large( at least more than a powder receptacle with front loading technology).This placement of the powder drawer turned out to be not very convenient, so the producers of stylals eventually abandoned this idea.

For front-loading washing machines , this tray is located in the upper left corner and is a pull-out powder receptacle of small size with separate sections. There are signs opposite each compartment of the dispenser. The main thing is to know how they are decrypted:

  • II or " In " - so the manufacturers designate the largest compartments of the powder receptacle of washing machines. A section for loading a conventional powder is used, which is used in the main wash mode. This cell should be used for other modes.
  • * or Softener , or image of the flower - designations are placed opposite the smallest cells. These compartments of the dispenser are designed for a condenser, and ordinary detergent can not be poured into this section.
  • I or "A " are symbols that meet opposite the narrowest compartment of the washing machine powder receptacle. The symbols indicate a section for prewash. Therefore, choosing the "Prewash" mode, you need to use this particular cell and fill it with a small amount of powder. By the way , for this section of the dispenser use only dry powder.
