Opening the door using the emergency release
The emergency release may only be used when it is no longer pos-
sible to open the door normally, e.g. in the event of power loss.
If the emergency release is operated during a program cycle,
hot water and cleaning agents can escape.
Risk of scalding, burning and chemical burns.
Push against the door so that less force is needed to operate the
emergency release.
Push the tool supplied in the accessory pack horizontally into the
gap between the door and the lid or countertop. The right-hand
edge of the tool must align with the outer right-hand edge of the
display.
Press against the unlocking mechanism with the tool until you hear
the door unlock. The door can now be opened.
If the machine is switched on, the activation of the emergency release
will be recorded in the process documentation and the following mes-
sage will appear in the display:

The message remains in the display until the door is closed. It is not
recorded if the machine is switched off.
