WARNING

Be careful when opening the door as wet laundry

may drip or fall out when the door is opened.

Do not attempt to force the door to open when

locked. Doing so could result in damage to the

machine, malfunction, or personal injury.

Make sure the area around the door seal is clear

before closing the door. If laundry gets caught

between the door and the seal, it can damage the

rubber gasket and may result in leaking.
