Porthole Emergency Opening - Hoover AWMPD 49LH7/1-S Manual

6. PORTHOLE EMERGENCY OPENING

Should the porthole be locked due to power
Shortage (if the plug is removed before the
end of the cycle, re-plug it and turn off the
machine by pressing ON/OFF button to
open the door) or as a result of a fault, it
can be opened according to the following
emergency unlocking procedure:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
socket.
2. Ensure that the water level is below the
porthole before opening it, to prevent any
flooding. Otherwise, drain excess water
through the drain tube and collect it in a
bucket.
3. Take out the detergent compartment
(fig. 1).
4. Insert a screw driver or a similar tool for
about two centimeters of depth ( in order
to fit it into the inner hook, but not fully
down). Lever up and simultaneously
open the porthole as shown in figure 2.
