How should I load the washer correctly?

Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub, and ensure the water level just covers the clothes. Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agitator, and always add detergent before adding clothes so it can work effectively. If you need to add items after the washer has started, push in the Cycle knob, submerge the additional items next to the agitator, close the lid, and pull the Cycle knob out to restart. (Page 12)
