Function
When the appliance door is closed, the snap lock engages mechanically with the
door recess on the opposite side. To open the appliance door, a low mechanical
resistance must be overcome to release the snap lock.
If the appliance door is opened during operation, the appliance switches off. The
door switch prevents the appliance from starting up directly (switch-on inhibit). The
appliance can only be restarted by pressing the Start/Stop button.
