There are several options for adding de-
tergent to the washing machine.
Detergent dispenser drawer
You can use any detergent that is suit-
able for washing machines.

Please follow the detergent manufac-
turer’s instructions in relation to dosage.
Adding too much detergent will lead
to excessive foaming.
