How do I lock the dishwasher controls to prevent unintended use?

Press and hold the HEATED DRY button for 4 seconds to turn on the lock; the lock light will glow. When the lock is active, all buttons are disabled, and pressing any pad will cause the light to flash 3 times with the selection ignored. To turn off the lock, press and hold HEATED DRY again for 4 seconds.
