Simply pull the drawer out and pour the measured amounts of detergent and softener into the proper compartments (as illustrated) and close the drawer. If you use liquid detergent, you will need to use the main wash compartment partition packaged with your washer.

The tumbling wash action, temperature control options and extended wash times are sufficient to remove most stains.
