Is a temporary cleaning lock the same as the child lock?

Not necessarily. Some hobs offer a short pause for wiping controls and a separate longer-term lock. Their duration and release methods can differ.

What the observation means

The symbols may look related, so use the owner's guide rather than an assumed universal button combination. A cleaning lock may not turn active zones off.

A useful next step

Follow the correct sequence and remain aware of hot cookware. If the panel does not recover as described, record the displayed state. Do not rely on a lock as proof that the surface is cold or safe for children to touch.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
