To Manually unlock the door lock system:
1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Remove the lower toe panel.
3. Reach up along the inside of the front panel and locate the bottom of the door latch assembly.

5. Gently pull the tab down about ¼" or until a click is heard.
6. The door may now be opened.
A manual door plunger is available to prevent door closure. (Child Safety Device) When the plunger
is in the OUT position (Fig. 8-1) , it prevents the door from latching. To activate this feature, a coin is
inserted in the plunger slot and rotated counterclockwise 90°. To reengage the plunger to the IN
position (Fig. 8-2) , rotate plunger 90° clockwise.
