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.
