These are very similar to top loaders, with the exception of the fact that the use a fraction of the water the older top loaders use. To work best, use the recommended amount or less of your favorite detergent that is available as an HE formula. The HE detergents to not create as much suds as the non HE types; which is required with the small amount of water the machines use. It also ensures the clothes will rinse all soap out completely. Resist the urge to use the less expensive "regular" detergent instead of the HE types - it will cost you more in the end if you don't - trust me. Like top loaders, don't overload the machine either.
When done washing clothes for the day, leave the washer door open over night - to allow the insides of the machine to dry. These doors are water tight as opposed to the top loader and allowing it to dry will prevent nasty mold from forming inside. You might consider running a clothes-less cycle with hot water and bleach to kill mold or as a preventative measure once a month or so too.
Good luck!
