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.
WARNING
y To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
before operating this appliance.
