Child-proof lock
? You can protect the appliance from being tampered by activating the child-proof lock.
? When activated, no change can be made to the programme running.
To activate the child-proof lock:
1 Press the 1st and 2nd additional function buttons for 3 seconds.
2 The "C ON" (child lock is activated) symbol appears on the screen.
Note: the child lock symbol will also be displayed whenever any button is pressed while the
machine is child-locked.
3 The child-proof lock lamp on the programme follow-up indicator will light up when the childproof lock is activated.
To deactivate the child-proof lock:
1 Press the 1st and 2nd additional function buttons for 3 seconds.
2 The "C OFF" (child-proof lock is deactivated) symbol appears on the screen.
3 The child-proof lock lamp on the programme follow-up indicator will go off when the child-proof
lock is deactivated.
Child Lock Controls
To prevent children from accidently changing the
dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the
dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the RINSE
ONLY pad (some models) or the NO HEAT DRY pad (some
models) for 3 seconds while the door is latched. An
indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate when
the controls are locked and no new selections can be made
until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the
same pad, RINSE ONLY or NO HEAT DRY, again for 2
seoncds until the indicator light goes out.
Child Lock is activated. Look for a picture of a small child's face on the Facial Panel (usually with picture of a lock) follow the arrows to 2 buttons, press and hold these buttons for 5 - 7 seconds. Child Lock will then deactivate.

1. To prevent operation of the washing machine when no wash cycle is running
To set this feature, switch the machine on using the POWER button at the top-left of the control-panel. Next, press and hold both the SPIN and RINSE buttons for about 3 seconds - until the child lock light indicator on the control panel illuminates. All functions of the washing machine will now be disabled apart from POWER ON/OFF until such time as the child lock is deactivated.
To deactivate the child lock, press and hold the SPIN and RINSE buttons again until the child lock light indicator on the control panel goes out.
2. To prevent any tiny fingers from tampering with the machine while a program is running.
After pressing the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle, press and hold the SPIN and RINSE buttons until the child lock light indicator illuminates. All buttons on the control panel will now be disabled until the child lock has been disabled. When the wash cycle has finished, you will need to switch the child lock off again to reactivate the buttons. Once you have finished using the washer, reactivate the child lock again before switching the power off as above.
The feature can also be used when using the delayed start feature, but needs to be set after pressing the START/PAUSE button.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Well you can please follow the below steps - 1. Locate the "Energy Saver/Dry" button on the dishwasher. The location of this button will be different depending upon the specific model number of the dishwasher, but should be easy to spot. If you have trouble finding it, you can check the diagram in the manual of your dishwasher for the exact location for your specific model. 2. Press and hold down this "Energy Saver/Dry" button for at least four seconds. Make sure that you do not release the button until at least 4 seconds have passed, otherwise the lock will not become disabled. 3. Check to make sure that the child lock indicator light has turned off. If this light is no longer on, this means you were successful at turning off the child lock. If the light is still on, repeat the process, but try to press and hold the "Energy Saver/Dry" button for a few seconds longer. If it still doesn't work, there may be a more complicated issue with your dishwasher. Consult your manual, or call to the manufacturer or repair man to determine if there is another problem with your dishwasher.
Here are the instructions to set and unset the child lock.
Setting the Child Lock:
1. Press the Sensor Dry or Lock pad and hold for
three seconds.
2. An indicator light next to the lock graphic will
illuminate when the controls are locked.
To cancel:
1. Press the Sensor Dry or Lock pad and hold for
three seconds.
2. The indicator light will go off.
