3. Load laundry into washer 5. Add fabric softener Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall. Do not wrap large items such as sheets around the washplate; load them in loose piles around the sides of the basket. Try mixing different sized items to reduce tangling. IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer. Items need to move freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor cleaning performance, and may increase wrinkling and tangling. 4.
