2 Button Start Safety Compliance
Two Buttons, One Promise - Keeping little ones safe
When it comes to home appliances, safety should feel effortless — and that’s exactly what we’ve focused on with our latest washing machine update.
To meet updated Australian & New Zealand safety compliance requirements, from March 2026 all new Beko washing machines now include a two-button start process.
It’s a small change that makes a meaningful difference, helping prevent accidental operation while keeping everyday laundry simple.
Starting a wash now takes two quick steps instead of one.
Rather than beginning a cycle with a single press, the machine requires two buttons to be pressed one after the other. This ensures the wash only starts when someone is intentionally turning it on — not by accident.
It’s an easy, intuitive change that most people get used to straight away.
This update is part of a broader move by Standards Australia to improve appliance safety in Australian & New Zealand homes.
Accidental start-ups can happen more easily than you might think — especially in busy households with children, pets, or when wiping down control panels.
The two-button start helps reduce this risk by adding a deliberate step before the machine begins operating.
How the 2 Button Start Works
Using your Beko washing machine is still just as straightforward:
1. Choose your wash program
2. Adjust settings like temperature or spin speed (if needed)
3. Press the first button, then press the second button to start
That’s it! Your wash begins as normal — with the same great performance you expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a child lock?
Not exactly — it’s a safety start feature designed to reduce accidental starts. Some models may still include a separate child lock function as well.
Q: Will this make the washing machine harder to use?
Not at all. It’s a simple, quick two-step action, and most customers get used to it immediately.
Q: Does it affect performance or wash results?
No — wash performance stays the same. This update only changes how the cycle starts, not how the machine washes.
Designed to Make Life Easier
At Beko, we believe great appliances should work with you, not against you. The new two-button start is a perfect example of that philosophy: a simple, intuitive update that supports safer everyday living.
If you’re shopping for a new washing machine, you’ll find this feature included across our latest compliant models.
