Indicator lights
The indicator lights provide important information.
This is what they can tell you:
Delayed start
IftheDELAYTIMERfunctionhasbeenactivated(see “Per-
sonalisation”), after the wash cycle has been started the
indicator light corresponding to the selected delay period
will begin to flash:
Astimepasses,theremainingdelaywillbedisplayedand
the corresponding indicator light will flash:
Once the set delay has elapsed, the flashing indicator light
will switch off and the selected wash cycle will begin.
Wash cycle phase indicator lights
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 program-
med 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 (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.
!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”).
