Browse the loops in the explorer window and when you find one you like, double clic on it. You'll see a track show up with that loop's name. To the right is the "timeline" to add the loops where you want them. To do that you paint the loops in by placing the cursor on the track, holding down the left mouse button and dragging towards the right. Do this wherever you want that particular sound to come into the project. Repeat for other loops.

Adding to what MyST mentioned, an instance where a particular loop plays on the timeline is called an "event". Events can be the entire loop or just a portion of the loop that plays back.
