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 be-
gun, 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 pro-
grammed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash, a 
sound signal will be emitted 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.
