WARNING
y To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
NOTE
y The front-load washing machine rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while
still fully saturating your clothing. It is normal to not be able to see water during the wash cycle.
y If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door locks and cannot be
opened. To open the door while washing, use the Rinse + Spin feature.
Load the laundry into the washing machine and close the door.
