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.
Lid 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 (it will take
about three minutes) 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”).
