Operating Instructions

- Detergent Compartment:
- For liquid detergent: Pour the recommended amount into the liquid detergent section. Do not overfill.

- For detergent packs (e.g., pods): Place up to 2 packs directly into the main detergent compartment, typically where the liquid/powder detergent goes. Ensure they are placed flat.
- Fabric Softener Compartment: Pour liquid fabric softener into the compartment labeled "FABRIC SOFTENER." Do not exceed the 'MAX' fill line to prevent premature dispensing.
