Indicator lights
The indicator lights provide important information. This is what they can tell you:
Wash cycle phase indicator lights
As the WASH CYCLE knob is rotated, the indicator lights illuminate, indicating the stages which will be performed by the machine in accordance with the selected wash cycle.
Once the desired wash cycle has been selected and has begun, the indicator lights switch on one by one to indi- cate which phase of the cycle is currently in progress.

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 (wait approximately 3 minutes). N.B. If the DELAY TIMER function is activated, the door cannot be opened; pause the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button if you wish to open it.
