How to switch on/off the child lock on your oven

If your Bosch oven is locked and you’re unable to use it, the child lock function may be activated. This safety feature prevents accidental operation, ensuring peace of mind in busy kitchens. However, if you need to use your oven and aren’t sure how to disable the lock, follow our simple steps to switch off the child lock on your Bosch oven.

Step by step guide

Disabling the child lock on your Bosch oven is quick and easy. Follow these steps:

1. Check if the child lock is activated – If the display shows a key symbol or "LOC," the child lock is on.
2. Press and hold the key or lock button – On most Bosch ovens, hold this button for around 5 seconds until the symbol disappears.
3. Test your oven – Try adjusting the settings to ensure the lock is deactivated.

For models without a dedicated lock button, consult your oven user manual, as some models require pressing a combination of buttons.
