Load the laundry into the washing machine and close the door tightly. Make sure not to
overload the machine. Next, slide open the detergent drawer, add detergent, and then
slide the drawer shut. Select the wash setting (whites or darks), temperature (hot, warm,
or cold), and load size (small, medium, or large). Then press the start button. The
washing machine will stop automatically when the wash cycle is complete.
