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 program-
med wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash 
and the function will not be activated.
If the selected function is not compatible with another 
function which has been selected previously, the indicator 
light corresponding to the first function selected will 
flash and only the second function will be activated; the 

indicator light corresponding to the enabled option will 
remain lit.

 Door locked indicator light

When the indicator light is on, the porthole door is locked 
to prevent it from being opened; make sure the indicator 
light is off before opening the door (wait approximately 3 
minutes). To open the door during a running wash cycle, 
press the START/PAUSE button; the door may be opened 
once the DOOR LOCKED indicator light turns off.
