Door Locked Indicator...‘Red Keyhole’ symbol
The ‘Red Keyhole’ symbol       will illuminate 2 seconds after
you have pressed the ‘Start’ button and will remain lit
throughout the wash programme.
The ‘Red Keyhole’ symbol will be flashing at the end of the
programme to indicate that the door is still locked. When the
symbol stops flashing you will hear a bleep and the door can
then be opened.

Door not closed
If the ‘Red Keyhole’ symbol is flashing at the beginning of
the wash programme, the door has not been closed properly
and the programme will not start. Ensure that the door is
closed properly by pushing it until you hear the catch click.

Do not try to 
open the 
door during 
the wash
programme.

Do not allow 
children to 
play with the 
machine or 
tamper with 
the controls.

If you cancel a
programme 
part way 
through a 
wash or there

cut, take care 
when         
opening the 
door. The 
machine may 
contain hot 
water.

This machine 
has a Child 
Lock feature,

activated     
disables all
