Door opening/closing
Emergency opening of the door
• Never open the door by force while the appliance is running; this could damage the locking
system. If you have to open the door while the machine is running, turn off the power supply
first and wait at least two minutes for the door locking mechanism to unlock.
• To open the door, grasp the door handle, squeeze the inner handle and pull the door. Close
the door by pushing it closed until it clicks into place. Do not push too hard.
• If you are unable to open the door in the event of a power failure or other special circumstances,
you can use the locking lever located near the drain pump to proceed with the emergency
opening of door.
NOTES:
1. Do not do this when the washing machine is running
normally.
2. Before doing anything, make sure that the inner drum
has stopped rotating, that the temperature has cooled
and that the water level is lower than the laundry load.
If the water level is higher than the laundry load, drain
the water through the drain hose (if applicable) or by
gently unscrewing the filter (shown in the figure).
3. Procedure: Open the drain pump door cover and
lower the locking lever using a tool to open the door.
