In Case of Emergency
The washing machine features a Fully Auto Restart function.
If the power is shut off part way through a wash, the cycle (wash/rinse/spin)
at the time is memorized, and when power is restored, the same cycle
automatically restarts from the beginning.
If the laundry has to be removed in the event of an extended power
outage, or in the event of malfunction of the door lock, the washing
machine door can be opened as follows :
1. Press the POWER button to switch power off (when the power is on in
the event of malfunction of the door lock), and disconnect the mains
plug.
2. Drain the water in the drum from the drain tube.
