CHILD SAFETY

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 having started the programme, the door is locked and the drum turns once; the door is then unlocked again for a few seconds. Afterwards it remains 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 blinks. The door can now be opened. The machine can be started again by shutting the door and pressing the “Start (Pause)” button.

In certain stages of the wash cycle, the door can never be openend, e.g. when the water is very hot or could run out. In such cases the door remains locked and the “Door Locked” warning light goes on again after the “Start (Pause)” button has been pressed. If you have an urgent need to open the machine, do not pull the plug out but press and hold the “Reset/Drain” button for a few seconds. This drains all the water out, and the door can then be opened.
