“Start/Pause” button until the time disappears. The door lock will release, and the display
will show “Add”. Add washing as required then close the door and press the “Start/Pause”
button to continue to wash.
•Do not attempt to forcibly open the door, as this can easily damage internal parts
and cause safety issues.
•When there is a lot of foam or water in the drum, use a dry towel to prevent foam
and water from spilling out when the door is opened.

Mute buzzer
Enabling this function will mute the buzzer that sounds when a program has finished.
After powering on the machine, press and hold the “Start/Pause” button until the buzzer is
heard to mute the buzzer. Repeat this process to disable the mute function.
Child Protection
•If the door is opened before the program starts, the machine will activate child
protection mode.
•Firstly, the door will be opened, and the motor will be running for a while.
•And then, the door will be unlocked for a while still working again. If during the
waiting time, the door is opened. The machine will be stopped.
Child Lock
The child lock function can be set to prevent children from operating the machine when a
cycle is in progress, locking the door and the control panel (except for the power button).
Power on the machine, then press and hold the “TEMP”. button for 3 seconds until the
buzzer sounds. The child lock function is now set. If these steps are repeated, the child lock
function will be disengaged. When this function is disabled, the door can be opened again.

Unlocking the Automatic Door Lock
When the machine is operating, the door locks automatically. This is to prevent scalding
from touching hot water before it has a chance to cool down. In normal usage, the door will
not be unlocked until either the cycle is stopped, or the emergency pull-rope is activated.
When the machine is working, press the "start/stop" button. In most cases, the door can
then be opened after the inner tub stops spinning. Exceptions to this are:
•If the power plug is removed when the machine is running, the door will remain
locked as a safety measure.
•If the machine was running at a high working temperature, the door will remain
locked as a safety measure until the temperature has reduced.
In most cases, the recommended course of action is to complete a full wash cycle and wait
until the washing machine has cooled before opening.
To unlock the door in an emergency, there is a pull-rope located at the base of the washing
machine. Tilt the machine up to gain access to the underside and locate the pull-rope. Pull
the rope firmly until the door latch is unlocked, allowing door to be opened.
CAUTION – Water may be extremely hot and pose risk of scalding.
Emergency pull-rope
Note: If the door is opened whilst the machine is working, bubbles may escape. Clean the
machine with a towel.

•Do not use water to flush the machine directly.
•Dirty powder, diluents, petrol, and alcohol are not permitted for cleaning the
machine.
Door gasket
