Test usability alongside the feature list
Ask which outlet is controlled, how dispensing is enabled and whether settings can be changed. Consider the position of the controls and whether instructions are easy to read. A lock does not remove the need for suitable placement, supervision where appropriate and routine inspection. Report any malfunction to the responsible service contact.
Assess the hot-water control on the exact dispenser
A safety lock is an operating feature of a particular model. Establish which outlet it controls, how it is released and whether users can understand the mechanism. Placement and normal supervision remain part of the installation assessment. A catalogue mention of a child lock should not be extended into a universal safety guarantee or assumed to exist on other models in the same range.
| Requirement | What to compare | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Control function | Identify the outlet and release mechanism | Review the exact model instructions |
| User access | Check control position and readability | Consider who will use the water point |
| Inspection | Check that normal operation is maintained | Report faults through the service route |
A selection mistake to avoid
Confirm the feature on the unit supplied. A photograph or a similar-looking cabinet is not enough to establish its control arrangement.
Which SWFI listings explicitly mention a child lock?
CWD-208UY-010 and CWD-208UY-012 mention the feature in the commercial catalogue. Request the current manual and confirm the mechanism on the chosen unit.
Planning the enquiry in Sabah
Include the user group and intended installation area in the enquiry. During handover, ask for a demonstration of normal operation and the model’s cleaning instructions. Verify the exact feature on the unit supplied. SWFI commercial equipment enquiries should identify the required hot-water control arrangement so available models can be checked against that requirement.
Information to prepare
- Exact model and documented lock operation
- User group and placement
- Handover demonstration and inspection responsibility
Can a lock be assumed on all hot-water dispensers?
No. Features vary by model. Check the current datasheet and confirm the configuration of the supplied unit.
