The console lights provide information about 

the cycle selection and current status.  During 

operation, while the door is closed, these 

lights will remain off and will automatically 

turn on when the door is opened.  At the 

completion of a cycle, the clean light will come 

on.  The sanitization light will also come on if 

that option was selected and sanitization was 

achieved during the wash cycle.
