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.
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
programmed 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.
!
If the START/PAUSE indicator light (orange)
flashes rapidly at the same time as the function
indicator light, this indicates a problem has
occurred ( see “Troubleshooting” ).

seconds, then only the indicator lights relative to the selected programme settings will remain lit and the

switch off, indicating that the door may be opened. Take out your laundry and leave the appliance door ajar to
