   Put your clothes in the washing machine

   Lift the lid on top. Fill it loosely — don't pack the clothes in tight.

   Pour in one cap of soap

   The cap on the soap bottle is also a little cup. Fill it to the line and pour it over the clothes.

   Close the lid

   Push it down until it clicks.

   Turn the big dial to Normal

   It's the round knob with words around it. Turn it until the arrow points at the word Normal.

   Press the Start button

   It's the biggest button, right next to the dial. You'll hear the water start to run.
6. 6

   You're done — come back when it beeps
