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.

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.

 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.

!

If the START/PAUSE indicator light (orange)

flashes rapidly at the same time as the function

indicator light, this indicates a problem has

occurred (see “Troubleshooting”).
