　図６は、運転コース情報保持部１６１の内部データの例を示す。図６は、運転コース情報保持部１６１に保持された情報のうち、運転コースにおいて使用可能な処理剤の種類と優先度を示す。同図では、自動投入が推奨される処理剤を「◎」、自動投入可能な処理剤を「〇」、自動投入できない処理剤を「×」でそれぞれ示している。ここで、おしゃれ着洗剤は、泡立ちが多くなるため、水流を抑えた専用の運転コースでのみ使用可能である。したがって、同図に示すように、「おしゃれ着」コース、「おうちクリーニング」コース、「毛布」コースでおしゃれ着洗剤を自動投入することが可能である。「おしゃれ着」コースは、衣類の傷みを抑えることが優先されたコースである。「おうちクリーニング」コースは、従来は洗濯業者に洗濯を依頼していたカシミアなどの素材の衣類を洗濯可能なコースである。「毛布」コースは、毛布を洗濯するコースである。それに対し、「おまかせ」コースでは、洗浄力を担保するために比較的強い水流が用いられているため、おしゃれ着洗剤を自動投入することはできない。また、漂白剤は、衣類が傷む可能性があるので、「おしゃれ着」コースや「おうちクリーニング」コース等では自動投入できない。「おうちクリーニング」コースは、通常の洗剤では洗濯できないような衣類を洗濯することが想定されているので、おしゃれ着洗剤は自動投入可能であるが、通常の洗剤は自動投入できない。「おうちクリーニング」コースにおいて、タンク８６にメーカーが推奨する銘柄のおしゃれ着洗剤と、それ以外の銘柄のおしゃれ着洗剤が貯留されている場合は、メーカーが推奨する銘柄のおしゃれ着洗剤が推奨されてもよい。「おしゃれ着」コースは、通常の洗剤でも洗濯可能な素材の衣類を洗濯する際に選択される場合もあるので、通常の洗剤が推奨されるが、おしゃれ着洗剤がタンク８６に貯留されている場合は、おしゃれ着洗剤も自動投入可能である。「槽洗浄」コースでは、洗剤、柔軟剤、及び、おしゃれ着洗剤を使用しないので、いずれの処理剤も自動投入できない。しかし、タンク８６に槽洗浄用の処理剤が貯留されている場合は、槽洗浄用の処理剤は自動投入できる。なお、タンク８６に、メーカーが推奨する銘柄の槽洗浄用の処理剤と、それ以外の銘柄の槽洗浄用の処理剤が貯留されている場合は、メーカーが推奨する銘柄の槽洗浄用の処理剤が推奨されてもよい。処理剤の使用可否や優先度は、洗濯機１００における運転コースの内容や仕様などに応じて定められてもよい。又は、運転コース情報保持部１６１に、以前に運転コースが実行されたときに自動投入が設定された処理剤の種類が記録されてもよい。この場合、運転コースにおいて自動投入可能な処理剤として、以前にその運転コースが実行されたときに自動投入が設定された処理剤の種類が推奨されてもよい。なお、メーカーが推奨する処理剤の銘柄が優先して推奨されるのは、「おうちクリーニング」コースや「槽洗浄」コースに限定されない。 FIG. 6 shows an example of internal data of the driving course information holding unit 161. FIG. FIG. 6 shows the types and priorities of processing agents that can be used in the driving course among the information held in the driving course information holding unit 161 . In the figure, processing agents that are recommended to be automatically added are indicated by "⊙", processing agents that can be automatically added are indicated by "◯", and processing agents that cannot be automatically added are indicated by "X". Here, since the fashionable detergent causes a lot of foaming, it can be used only in a dedicated driving course in which the water flow is suppressed. Therefore, as shown in the figure, it is possible to automatically add fashionable detergent for the "fashionable clothes" course, the "house cleaning" course, and the "blanket" course. The "fashionable clothes" course is a course where priority is given to suppressing damage to clothes. The "home cleaning" course is a course in which it is possible to wash clothes made of materials such as cashmere, which were conventionally requested to be washed by a laundry company. A "blanket" course is a course for washing blankets. On the other hand, in the "Omakase" course, a relatively strong water flow is used to ensure detergency, so the fashionable detergent cannot be automatically added. In addition, since bleach may damage clothes, it cannot be automatically added in the "fashionable clothes" course or the "home cleaning" course. In the "home cleaning" course, it is assumed that clothes that cannot be washed with normal detergents are washed, so fashionable detergent can be automatically added, but normal detergent cannot be automatically added. In the "house cleaning" course, if the tank 86 stores a brand of fashionable detergent recommended by the manufacturer and another brand of fashionable detergent, the brand of fashionable detergent recommended by the manufacturer is recommended. good too. Since the "fashionable clothes" course may be selected when washing clothes made of materials that can be washed with normal detergents, normal detergents are recommended, but fashionable clothes detergents are stored in the tank 86. In the case, fashionable detergent can also be automatically added. In the "tank cleaning" course, no detergent, softener, or dressing detergent is used, so none of the processing agents can be automatically added. However, when the processing agent for bath cleaning is stored in the tank 86, the processing agent for cleaning the bath can be automatically added. If the tank 86 stores a tank cleaning treatment agent of a brand recommended by the manufacturer and a tank cleaning treatment agent of another brand, the tank cleaning treatment agent of the brand recommended by the manufacturer is used. agents may be recommended. Whether or not the treatment agent can be used and the priority may be determined according to the operation course and specifications of the washing machine 100 . Alternatively, the operating course information holding unit 161 may record the type of processing agent for which automatic injection was set when the operating course was previously executed. In this case, as the processing agent that can be automatically added in the operation course, the type of processing agent that was set to be automatically added when the operation course was previously executed may be recommended. It should be noted that the brand of treatment agent recommended by the manufacturer is preferentially recommended not only for the "house cleaning" course and the "tank cleaning" course.
