Purpose: Holds detergent or liquid soap for the main washing cycle.
When to use: For most loads, this is the primary compartment for cleaning clothes.
How it works: Detergent from this compartment is released at the start of the main wash, ensuring clothes are thoroughly cleaned.
3. Fabric Softener Compartment
Purpose: Holds fabric softener or liquid additives.
When to use: Optional, whenever you want softer, fragrant clothes.
How it works: The machine releases the softener during the final rinse, so it coats the fibers without interfering with the detergent.
Tips for Using the Compartments
Measure carefully: Too much detergent can leave residue, too little may not clean effectively.
Avoid overfilling the softener compartment: Excess can damage clothes or leave stains.
Check labels: Some modern machines combine functions; always refer to the manual.
Final Note
Understanding the three compartments ensures you use your washing machine correctly, avoid residue or fabric damage, and get the cleanest, softest laundry every time.
