  1. Depress the "Control Lock" or "Start/Control Lock" button on the keypad with your finger.

  2. Hold down the pad for approximately 5 seconds until the words "Control Lock" disappear from the LCD display.

  3. Allow the oven to finish cooling after running the self-cleaning function before attempting to unlock the oven range. As a safety measure the "Lock" function will not release until the oven completes the high-temperature cleaning cycle.

Tips

Some of the KitchenAid ranges will have a designated "Lock" button on the control panel, while others will have a label and picture of a lock printed "Start" button. While the placement may vary, the function and operation are the same.

Warnings

The "Off" key pad on the control panel will stop any function on the range save the lock mechanism, the clock and the timer. The only way the lock can be controlled is through the lock and unlock process described here.
