Door Locking And Unlocking Methods - Panasonic NA-128VG5WAU Operating Instructions & Installation Instructions

Using the Buttons
14. ECONAVI indicator lamp
This programme detects the laundry
amount and material (cotton, chemical
fibre, etc.) and determines the best
suited wash time and water amount to
save energy and water.
The wash time and water amount can
be saved more with smaller amount of
laundry, larger amount of clothes that
easily dry, such as chemical fibre, or
with higher temperature.
- Lamp indications
Blinking: Detecting
Lighting: In ECONAVI operation
OFF: Not in ECONAVI operation
NOTE
When you choose ECONAVI
programme, recommend to put the dry
laundry only into the drum. ECONAVI
sensing may not work properly, if the
wet laundry only is loaded.
Door locking and unlocking
methods
The door is automatically locked when
any programme is run. When the door is
locked, the symbol is displayed.
CAUTION
- When the door is in the locked state,
if the appliance is switched off or a
power cut occurs, then the door can
be unlocked only after the appliance
is re-powered on.
- This function is different from the
child lock function. (See page 25)

Press the Start/Pause button to unlock
the door during operation.
After about 1 minute, the drum will
stop and the door will be automatically
unlocked. (However, the following cases
are exceptional.)
Regarding door locking during
operation
1. In high temperature state.
For the sake of safety, even if the
appliance stops temporarily at a high
temperature, the door cannot be
opened.
- To open the door, switch off the power
first, and then re-switch on it and
conduct spin-only operation. After water
injecting and draining is repeated for
several minutes, and the temperature
falls, you can open the door.
2. In some programmes, the water level is
higher than the door after the appliance
enters the rinsing process; therefore,
to prevent the water from overflowing,
even if the appliance stops temporarily,
the door cannot be opened. To open the
door, switch off the power first, and then
re-switch on it and conduct spin-only
operation.
CAUTION
- If you have to unlock the door during
programme operation, ensure as
much as possible that the water
flowing from the drum will not wet the
floor.
- When you open the door of the
appliance, there may be foam spill,
please hold the foams using towel,
etc.
