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 be- gun, the indicator lights switch on one by one to indicate which phase of the cycle is currently in progress.

Wash

Rinse

Spin/Drain

Drying

End of wash cycle

Note: when the drying cycle has finished, the DRYING knob should be returned to the “0” position.

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.

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.
