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.

Wash

Rinse

Spin

Pump out

End of wash cycle

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.
