Safety features
Door lock
The door of your washer is locked once you touch START / PAUSE until the machine beeps at the
end of the cycle, ensuring safety for you and your family while your machine is operating.
To unlock the door during the cycle
You can open the door to add or remove items during the wash simply by touching the
START / PAUSE 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 page 30).
Simply touch START / PAUSE and the door will automatically unlock if the conditions inside the
washer are safe (the START / PAUSE button and TIME REMAINING on the screen will flash). Open the
door and remove or add garments. Close the door and touch START / PAUSE to resume the cycle.
Add a Garment (WashSmart™ only)
The ADD A GARMENT function can be used to interrupt the cycle to add or remove a garment at
anytime during the wash (as long as the wash temperature selected for the cycle is lower than
60°C) by draining water from the machine to a level where the door can be opened, if necessary.
Refer to page 23 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, then pull the door release tab.
Do not attempt to do this if the water level in the washer
is above the level of the door. When power is restored
you will need to restart your machine by simply pressing
the POWER button. The washer will remember where in
the cycle it was up to.
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 for 10 minutes to allow suds to break down before continuing
the cycle.
