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 pro-
grammed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will 
flash and a sound alert (3 beeps); 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”

).

Turn the washing machine on by pressing the ON/OFF button. All the indicator lights will turn on for a few seconds, then only
