In modern apartments there are two types of automatic machines. They differ in how the laundry is loaded there, and are divided into models:

• with vertical loading;
• with front loading.

Vertical-loading machine

For household appliances with vertical loading, the detergent tray is located at the top. As a rule, manufacturers place it on the left, but some models have this part on the right side, so do not let it bother you.

Machines with front loading

In this case, the tray is located directly under the lid, that is, on its inner side. You will see it right away. And this arrangement - for all models of machines of this type.

Can I fill the air conditioner in the drum?

Despite the established opinion that detergents in the drum machine machine is not worth pouring, sometimes it still has to be done. In particular, when it comes to the air conditioner, it can be placed in the drum in the following cases:

• if after a full wash cycle you decide to rinse the laundry again;
• if you have a modern product in a special package.

Important! This package is a container from which the rinse agent is strictly dispensed into the water. You can place such an air conditioner in the drum of the machine if you are not going to wash it anymore, and intend only to rinse out the clothes well.

Other detergents

Detergents that are intended for basic washing or soaking can also sometimes be dropped or poured directly into the drum. For machines of activator type, this is always done, because there are no trays for the powder.

But this is what the mistresses of drum machines do if:

• old and washing powder detergent is poorly washed out of the compartment;
• you use a thick gel that hardly pours out of the tray;
• you have the means in a special package;
• you use exotic means.

Important! For very old machines, the powder from the tray does not enter the water properly, it does not dissolve completely, which leads to a very high flow rate. Therefore mistresses quite often leave a situation, having poured a powder directly in a drum. This is not the best solution, but the only one, if there is no way to change the car.

Thick gel is poorly washed from trays and completely new machines. Therefore, it is poured into the drum. It does not harm the machine. The only thing you should pay attention to is not to pour the gel directly onto the laundry.
