Should the porthole be locked due to power
shortage or as a result of a fault, it can be
opened according to the following
emergency unlocking procedure:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
socket.
2. Ensure that the water level is below the
porthole before opening it, to prevent any
flooding. Otherwise, drain excess water
through the drain tube and collect it in a
bucket.
3. Take out the detergent compartment
(fig. 1).
4. Lever with a screw driver or similar tool,
as shown in figure 2, to operate the
emergency device. Carry out the same
procedure 2 times, then open the
porthole.
