Oven Child Lock - Turning On And Off

Issue

  • Oven Child Lock Turning On And Off
  • How to unlock the oven?
  • Oven displays SAFE or padlock symbol
  • The oven is locked, cannot change the settings

Applies to

  • Built-In Ovens

Resolution

If your oven displays SAFE or a PADLOCK symbol:

  • CHILD LOCK is activated, preventing children from playing with the appliance
  • PYROLYTIC CLEANING is running (when the oven cools down to a safe temperature the door will automatically unlock). For safety reason, the door cannot be unlocked while this function is running.

To disable the lock and resume unrestricted use of the oven, it is necessary to find and apply the correct combination of buttons specific to the oven model.

Refer to the description in the user manual, as the methods for disabling the lock vary depending on the model.

The activation and deactivation procedure is described in the "Additional Functions" chapter.

Download the user manual for your oven.

The availability of functions depends on the appliance model.
