Pausing the Child Lock function
When the door is locked or the buttons are locked by the Child Lock function, you can pause
the Child Lock operation for 1 minute by pressing and holding both the Soil Level and Signal
buttons simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds.
• If you pause the Child Lock mode temporarily, the door lock is released for 1 minute for user
convenience. During this period, the “Child Lock [ ]” lamp blinks.
• If you open the door after the minute is over, an alarm sounds for up to 2 minutes.
• If you close the door within the 2 minutes, the door is locked and the Child Lock function is reactivated.
If you close the door after the 2 minutes, the door is not locked automatically and no alarm sounds.
Deactivating the Child Lock function
Press and hold both the Spin and Soil Level buttons simultaneously for approximately 6 seconds.
• When you deactivate the Child Lock function, the door is unlocked and the “Child Lock [
]”
is turned off.

washer and injuring themselves.
• If a child enters the washing machine, the child may become trapped and suffocate.
• Once you have activated the Child Lock function, it continues working even if the power
is turned off.
