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.
