Hello! My parents just bought an automatic washing machine, and I'm having trouble on when to put the said softener. I've been taught to put it last, but it seems that this machine is dispensing the fabric softener first. (it has a container and the water runs through it)

So... do I have to wait until the washing machine goes on "rinse" or is it okay to put it first? Upon searching, though, it seems that the smell goes away after so many washes if you put it first... And aside from when to put it, the amount is also concerning as the container for the softener only holds so little.

I just need someone to clarify this for me, not doing the "right" thing messes me up a lot x)

Edit: Apologies, I forgot to put this in. For reference, this is our washing machine: https://www.tcl.com/ph/en/washing-machine/p70

Edit #2: The container is only for Liquid and Solid detergents, not for Fabric Softeners.

Edit #3: Decided on following the "put it on the rinse cycle". Not sure if it'll work yet, but I think it's the best I've got.
