These machines are designed to use less water than traditional top-loading washers and offer a variety of washing options to ensure that your clothes come out clean. Starting a Frigidaire Affinity washing machine is a simple process that involves adding detergent, selecting a cycle, and pressing a button.
Step 1
Sort your laundry by color and pre-treat any stains with a stain remover.

Open the Frigidaire Affinity washing machine and place your clothes inside. Make sure to close the door securely.

Open the dispenser on the upper left-hand side of the machine and add your laundry products. Be sure to use the correct amount for your wash load. Some models come with a liquid cup that should be used for liquid detergent.
Step 4
Use the cycle selector knob on the left to choose your wash cycle. Depending on your specific model, you may have options such as casual, quick wash, heavy, and rinse. There may also be a “Specialty Cycle” option on the cycle knob that allows you to select specialty cycles for items such as pet beds, children’s clothes, jeans, and sanitizing.
Step 5
Adjust the temperature, spin speed, and soil level as needed by pressing the appropriate buttons until the indicator light turns on next to your selection. To change the spin speed, for example, press the “Spin Speed” button at the bottom of the panel until the indicator light is lit on your desired speed.
You can choose from options such as “Sterilize,” “Hot,” “Cold,” “Warm,” and “Cold Water Clean” for temperature settings and “Max,” “Heavy,” “Normal,” “Light,” and “Extra Light” for spin speed.
