Hayward Perflex Model Ec50c90 Series

I have a new above ground pool with this filter. I am at a loss as to when i need to add new DE and when i should backwash and how to backwash it. I have never had a pool so need basic simple instructions. I have read that this model does not need backwashing? So why did the pool company supply me with tons of DE?
