Child lock

We are pleased that you have chosen our washing machine with the extra-large capacity dr um and
wide door. They may also appeal to your young children, so we have taken special measures to
protect youngsters who decide to play in or around the machine. These measures are intended to
help busy parents, but remember that children should neve r play w i th the m ach ine, whether it is
running or not.

Door Opening

The door has NO special interlock, so it can be opened from inside without much force by a small
child if the machine is not in operation. If the machine is swit ched on, the door is lo cked so that hot
water or laundry cannot be thrown out.

Door lock

After the programme has started, the door is locked and app ro x. 0.5 l of wate r is rinsed into the
drum. The door is then unlocked for a few seconds and subsequently locked until the end of the
programme.
The “Door Locked” warning light goes on if the door is locked. I f the door has to be opened during
a programme, press the

“Start/Pause”

button. The “Door Locked” warning light goes out and the

“Start/Pause”

indicator flashes. The door can now be opened. The machine can be started again

by shutting the door and pressing the

“Start/Pause”

button.
The door can never be opened in certain stages of the wash cycle, e.g. when the water is very hot
or could run out. In these cases the door remains locked and the “Door Locked” warning light goes
on again after the

“Start/Pause”

button has been pressed. If you still have an urgent need to open
the machine, do not pull the plug out but press the “Reset” bu tto n . This drains all the water out,
and the door can then be opened.

Child lock Button

You can prevent children turning the machine on by disabling the controls. To do this, simply PRESS
and HOLD the “Child Lock” button for 5 seconds. An indicator light will come on and all controls
will be disabled. Only the programme selector knob can be turned, so that the machine can be
stopped immediately in an emergency. To do this, turn the knob to the “0” position. If the machine
was already running a programme when the “Child Lock” was set, the programme will continue
normally to the end, but it will be impossible to make any chan ges to the programme. If the
machine is switched off after pressing the “Child Lo ck” button, it will be impossi ble to start another
programme. If the programme selector knob is then turned to a programme position, the “Child
Lock” indicator light flashes briefly indicating that it is activated. To switch off the lock at any time,
PRESS the “Child Lock” button AGAIN and HOLD for 5 seconds.

Child lock screws (inside the door)
