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 indicate
which phase of the cycle is currently in progress.
Note:
during the “Drain” phase, the indicator light corresponding
to the “Spin” cycle phase will illuminate.
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.
Temperature indicator light
When a temperature value is selected, the corresponding
indicator light will illuminate.
Drying indicator light
When a drying value is selected, the corresponding indica-
tor light will illuminate.
Child lock indicator light
To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the
button for approximately 2 seconds. When the indicator
light is illuminated, the control panel is locked. This means
it is possible to prevent wash cycles from being modified
accidentally, especially where there are children in the
home.
To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the
button for approximately 2 seconds.
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.
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.
!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”).
