SAFETY FEATURES
Door lock
The door of your washer will lock once you touch
and will stay locked until the
machine beeps at the end of the cycle, ensuring safety for you and your family while
your machine is operating.
Unlocking the door during the cycle
You can open the door to add or remove items during the wash simply by touching
the
button. Note: the door will remain locked if the temperature inside the washer is
above 60°C and/or the water level is above the bottom of the door seal (a warning will
be displayed in these circumstances, refer to ‘Before you call for service’).
To open the door
Simply touch
, the machine will pause and the door will automatically unlock if the
conditions inside the washer are safe. The
button and time to go will flash on the
screen while the washer is paused. Open the door and remove or add garments. Close
the door and touch
to resume the cycle.
Add a Garment
The ‘Add a Garment’ function can be used to interrupt the cycle to add or remove a
garment at any time during the wash part of the cycle (as long as the wash temperature
selected is lower than 60°C). Water in the machine will be drained to a level where the
door can be opened, if necessary. Refer to ‘Wash cycle options’ for more information.
Opening the door during a power failure
If there is a power failure during a wash cycle
your washer will stop and the door will remain
locked. You can unlock the washer door to
remove your clothes by opening the pump filter
cover at the bottom right of your washer. Simply
place a coin or key in the slot and tilt it upwards
to lever the cover open. Use a tool (ie key or
screw driver) to pull the door release tab down.
IMPORTANT!
Do not attempt to do this if the water level in
the washer is above the bottom of the door.
When power is restored you will need to restart
your machine by simply pressing ‘POWER’. The
washer will remember where it was in the cycle.
Your washer also has the following protective measures:
●
●
Flood protection – turns off valves and turns pump on if a flood condition is detected.
●
●
Out-of-balance protection – stops and redistributes the load if an unbalanced load
condition is sensed, and/or slows the spin speed to compensate.
●
●
Excess suds protection – pauses to allow suds to break down before continuing the cycle.
