How can I prevent young children from tampering with the dishwasher?

Following some simple steps can help you to keep your children from tampering with the dishwasher: 

• Check the detergent receptacle is empty after each wash cycle. 

• Keep detergent out of reach and only put detergent in the machine right before you start your cycle. 

• Never leave the washing machine unattended and the door should not be used as a seat or lent on. 

Keep unloaded items out of reach as you unload your machine. It is important to remember that electrical products can be dangerous for children. Keep children away from the product when it is in use and do not let them tamper with the product. If your appliance has a child lock feature, please make sure you use it whenever the appliance is running.

With this in mind, it’s also useful to know how to use the child lock function on your washing machine.
