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.

opened.
Load the laundry into the washing machine and close the door.
