Simply measure the correct amount of softener and pour into the appropriate section of your washer's dispenser tray. During the rinse cycle, your machine will wash water up into the dispenser, releasing the fabric conditioner, infusing your fabrics. Video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZJ5RE_CWJI
