DOOR LOCK
Unlocking the Automatic Door Lock
When the machine is operating, the door locks automatically. This is to prevent scalding
from touching hot water before it has a chance to cool down. In normal usage, the door will
not be unlocked until either the cycle is stopped, or the emergency pull-rope is activated.
When the machine is working, press the "start/stop" button. In most cases, the door can
then be opened after the inner tub stops spinning. Exceptions to this are:
•
If the power plug is removed when the machine is running, the door will remain
locked as a safety measure.
•
If the machine was running at a high working temperature, the door will remain
locked as a safety measure until the temperature has reduced.
In most cases, the recommended course of action is to complete a full wash cycle and wait
until the washing machine has cooled before opening.
To unlock the door in an emergency, there is a pull-rope located at the base of the washing
machine. Tilt the machine up to gain access to the underside and locate the pull-rope. Pull
the rope firmly until the door latch is unlocked, allowing door to be opened.
CAUTION – Water may be extremely hot and pose risk of scalding.
Note: If the door is opened whilst the machine is working, bubbles may escape. Clean the
machine with a towel.
