CHILD LOCK
We are pleased that you have chosen our washing machine with the extra-large capacity drum 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 never play with the machine, 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 switched on, the door is locked so that hot water or laundry cannot be thrown out.
Door lock
After the programme has started, the door is locked and approx. 0.5 l of water 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. If 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/Unlock door” button. This drains all the water out, and the door can then be opened.
CHILD LOCK
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 “ 
” 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 changes to the programme. If the machine is switched off after pressing the “Child Lock” button, it will be impossible 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)
Activating the child lock
1.Open the door.
2.Using the insert from the detergent dispenser, turn the plastic screw underneath the handle anticlockwise by about 180°. The screw now protrudes somewhat and the door cannot be closed.
Deactivating the child lock
1.Use the detergent dispenser insert to return the screw to its original position. The door can now be shut.
