Abstract: A laundry treatment appliance having a treatment cycle a drawer with a compartments for treatment agents; metering devices to draw doses from the compartments; and a control unit to control the metering devices according to a selected control mode. In a first mode, one metering device draws treatment agent dose during one of two phases, and the other metering is kept off during both phases. In a second mode, both metering devices draw up treatment agent doses during at least one of two phases. In a third mode one metering device draws treatment agent during one phase of two phases, and the other metering device draws up treatment agent dose during the other of two phases.
