Manual opening of washing machine door
ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Washing machine door may be opened
manually
if the appliance is not connected to the power
mains and if the water has been pumped out of the machine.
A. Choose the Spinning or Drain program to pump the water from the machine. If this does not
work, water has to be drained from the washing machine drum manually. See chapter "Cleaning
the trap and drain pump" in the chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE".
B. Make sure the main switch is off and that the plug is disconnected from the power outlet.
If you have a washing machine with a 3phase connection, do not pull the plug out of the power
outlet.
C. Take the emergency door opening tool (found at the back of the detergent compartment) and
insert it into the upper part of the slot on the right-hand side of the washing machine door latch.
D. Press the key (key=the emergency door opening tool) downwards (all the way, until you hear a
click) to unlock the washing machine door. When the door is unlocked, open it by pulling towards
you.
INFORMATION!
If the washing machine door still cannot be opened, call a service technician.
