The CLEAN light illuminates at the end of the cycle and remains lit until the door has been open for 30 seconds continu- ously.

The DRY light illuminates during the entire dry period and goes out when the cycle is completed.

The WASH light illuminates during all rinse and wash portions of the cycle.

The HEATING DELAY light illuminates when the cycle is being extended to heat the water.

The CLEAN and SANITIZED (select mod- els) indicator lights will not reilluminate after a power failure until after the next cycle is run.
