Hotpoint WMA63 child lock

How do you turn off the child lock on a WMA63? Tried pressing all the obvious buttons with no joy.

Child Lock
When activated all the buttons will be disabled and a child will not be
able to alter any wash programme or option settings. Once selected this
feature remains activated, even when the machine is ‘off’.
To use this feature press the ‘Child Lock’ button once. The child safe icon will
begin to flash. When the icon stops flashing the feature is activated. If any of
the control buttons are pressed, the child safe icon will flash and the machine
will bleep 3 times: no alterations to the control settings will be allowed. If
power is interrupted, at any time, pressing any button will reactivate the child
lock feature.
To deactivate this feature hold the ‘Child Lock’ button down for 4
seconds. You will then hear a bleep and the child safe icon will go out.

From the WMA63 User guide. 😀

Thanks for that flyman. Yes managed to get it sorted. Embarrasing when its your own machine. Said to the missus ‘I just know how to fix them, not operate them’!
