Indicator lights
The indicator lights provide important information.
This is what they can tell you:
Wash cycle phase indicator lights
Once the desired wash cycle has been selected and has begun,
the indicator lights switch on one by one to indicate which
phase of the cycle is currently in progress.
Note: during the “Drainphase, the indicator light corre-
sponding to the Spin cycle phase will illuminate.
Function buttons and corresponding indicator lights
When a function is selected, the corresponding indicator
light will illuminate.
If the selected function is not compatible with the pro-
grammed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will
flash and the function will not be activated.
If a function which is incompatible with another function
selected previously, only the most recent selection will
remain active.
Door locked indicator light
If this indicator light is on, the appliance door is locked to
prevent it from being opened accidentally; to avoid any
damage, wait for the indicator light to switch off before you
open the appliance door.

oting”).
