    have fun: you will discover many secret ways to get a better
    wash, more easily and making your washing machine last longer.
    Quick guide
    1. Installation and removal (p. 10)
    Installation, after delivery or transport, is the most important operation
    for the correct functioning of your washing machine. Always check:
    1.That the electric system conforms to regulations;
    2.That the inlet and draining pipes are connected correctly.
    Never use pipes that have already been used;
    3.That the washing machine is levelled properly; something
    wor th checking to aid the performance of your
    washing machine;
    4.That the drums fixing screws have been removed from
    the  back of the washing machine.
    2.What goes in your washing machine and how
    to start it (p. 2)
    A correct distribution of your laundry is vital to the successful
    outcome of the wash and the life of the washing machine. Learn all
    the tips and secrets to dividing your linen: colour, type of fabric.
    3. Guide to understanding labels (p. 5)
    The symbols on the labels of your garments are easy to understand
    and equally important for the success of your wash. The guide
    includes simple instructions to help you choose the right tempera-
    ture, wash cycles and ironing methods.
    4. Useful tips to avoid mistakes (p. 6)
    Years back, our grandmothers were the ones who gave us good
    advice - and in those days synthetic fibres did not exist: washing
    was easy. Today, your washing machine offers you helpful advice
    allowing you to wash wool even better than an exper t laundress
    would by hand.
    5. The detergent dispenser (p. 7)
    How to use the detergent dispenser and the bleach compartment.
    6. Understanding the control panel (p. 3)
    Washing machine’s control panel is very simple. It has only a few
    essential buttons to help you choose any type of wash cycle,
    ranging from the most energetic, capable of cleaning a mechanic’s
    overalls, to the most delicate for wool. Familiarising yourself with it
    will help you get the best out of your wash while helping your
    washing machine last longer. It’s easy.
    7.  Guide to the wash programmes (p. 4)
    Herein is an easy table to help you choose the right programme,
    temperature, detergents and possible additives. Choose the right
    programme and you will get better results with your wash while
    saving time, water and energy, day after day.

    							What goes in your washer?
    Before  washing, you can do a great deal to ensure better results. Divide your garments
    according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their guidelines.
    Before washing.
    Divide your washing according
    to the type of fabric and colour
    fastness.
    Empty all pockets (coins, paper,
    money and small obejects) and
    ensure all loose buttons are
    repaired or removed prior to
    loading.
    How to eliminate the most common stains
    Ink and biro Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.
    Ta r Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately.
    Wa x Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with turpentine or
    methyl alcohol.
    Chewing gum Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.
    Mold Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar, then
    washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.
    Lipstick Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene for silk.
    Nail polish Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the
    garment as the sheet gradually changes colour.
    Grass Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.
    Starting the washer
    Starting your washing machine
    in the right way is important for
    the quality of your wash, to help
    prevent future problems and
    enhance life expectancy of your
    appliance. Once you have
    loaded your washing machine
    and added the detergent
    together with any fabric
    conditioner, always check that:1. The door is closed correctly.
    2. The plug is secured in the
    socket.
    3. The water supply is turned
    on.
    4. Selector knob A is positioned
    on one of the symbols 
     (Stop/
    Reset).
    Choose the desired programme
    The programme is selected
    according to the type of garments
    that need to be washed. To choose
    a programme, refer to the table on
    page 4. Turn knob A until the
    selected programme is aligned
    with the mark on the knob, turn
    knob B to the desired temperatu-
    re settings, if necessary use
    buttons D, E and F, and lastly,
    press on/off button G (I position).
    After installing your new washing machine, start a wash
    cycle by setting programme 1 at 90 degrees.
    For more delicate
    garments:
    protect underwear, tights
    and stockings and delicate
    items by placing them in a
    canvas pouch
    Dividing your garments
    according to fabric and
    colour, is very important
    for good results
    At the end of the wash cycle...
    The I lamp to extinguish: it will
    take about three minutes.
    Then turn the washing machine
    off by pressing on-off button G
    (O position). You can now open
    the washing machine door
    safely. After having removed the
    freshly cleaned washing, leave
    the door open to allow air
    circulation inside the drum.
    Always disconnect electricity at
    the socket and turn off the water
    supply.Remember that, in the event
    of a power failure, or should
    the washing machine switch
    itself off, the programme
    chosen will remain in its
    memory.
    The labels say it all.
    Always look at the labels: they
    tell you everything about your
    garment and how to wash it in
    the best possible way.
    The table on page 5 shows all
    meanings behind these
    symbols. Their  recom-
    mendations are important to
    achieve better wash results.
    Instructions for installation and use  2

    Big and small happily
    together.
    This washing machine has a
    special electronic control device
    for even distribution: before the
    spin cycle starts, this device
    allows the garments to positions
    themselves, to minimise noise
    and vibrations during the spin
    cycle. 
    						
    							D
    ABC
    EFGHI
    Press this button in
    programmes 5-6-7-9-10 and the
    wash cycle will come to a stop
    on symbol  
    . You can comple-
    te it by pressing button D again.
    Important: this function should
    not be used when button F (Stain
    removal) has been pressed.
    Slow spin
    Use this button to reduce the
    spinning speed from 1200 to
    600 rpm for the cotton and linen
    programmes and from  850 to
    600 rpm  for the synthetic
    fabrics programmes.
    Stain removal (see page 7)
    Thanks to this command, the
    washing machine will carry out
    a more intensive wash that
    optimises the  effectiveness of the
    liquid additives, thus allowing
    more resistant stains to be
    removed. When you press the
    stain removal button, you cannot
    activate the pre-wash.
    On-off
    When button G is pressed, the
    washing machine is switched
    on, when it is not the machine
    is switched off.
    Turning the appliance off
    does not cancel the selected
    programme.
    The on-off lamp
    Lamp H flashes when the
    appliance is switched on and
    awaiting a programme to be set.
    A steady light means the
    appliance has accepted the
    selected programme.
    Here I’m in command
    Understanding the control panel
    Making the right choice is important. And it’s easy.
    Programme selector knob
    Use this knob to select the wash
    programme.
    Turn this knob clockwise only.
    To select a programme, you
    should turn the knob so that the
    symbol/number  of the desired
    programme is in line with the
    pointer on the knob.
    Now press on/off button G
    (position I), pilot lamp H will start
    flashing.
    After 5, the setting will be
    accepted, pilot lamp H will stop
    flashing (staying lit) and the wash
    cycle will begin.
    Should you wish to interrupt the
    programme in progress or set a
    new one, select one of the
    symbols 
     (Stop/Reset) and wait
    5 : when the cancellation has
    been accepted, pilot lamp H
    flashes, and you can then turn the
    appliance off.
    After the wash cycle has been set
    and accepted by the washing
    machine, turning the knob will
    have no effect (except for when
    it is on position 
     Stop/Reset).
    Temperature control knob
    It is used to set the wash tempe-
    rature in the recommended
    programme table on pag. 4. It also
    allows you to reduce the tempe-
    rature recommended for the
    selected programme, and even to
    set a cold wash cycle (
    ).
    Detergent dispenser
    It is divided into three
    compartments:
    1. Detergent for pre-wash;
    2. Detergent for the main cycle
    wash;
    3. Fabric conditioner.
    The washing machine is
    equipped with an extra
    compartment 4 (provided as an
    accessory) for the bleach, to be
    inserted in compartment 1.
    Easy iron
    This function allows your
    washing to come out of the
    machine without creases,
    making it much easier to iron.
    You can use it with programmes
    3-4 (Cotton), 5-6-7 (Synthetics)
    and 9-10 (Delicates).
    The detergent dispenser with the
    additional  bleach compartment
    is here.
    3  Instructions for installation and use
    The door block lamp
    The safety lamp indicates that the
    washing machine door is locked
    to prevent it from being opened
    accidentally. To  avoid  any
    damages to lock mechanism,
    you must wait for the lamp to
    extinguish, before attempting to
    open the door which takes around
    three minutes.

    Daily wash Your washer has a programme available for the washing of lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time.
    By setting programme 8 at a temperature of 30°C, you can wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and silk), with a
    maximum load of 3 kg. This programmes allows you to save on both time and energy as it only lasts around 30 minutes.
    WE RECOMMEND THE USE LIQUID DETERGENT.
    Important: to cancel the wash programme you have just set, select one of the symbols  (Stop/Reset) and wait for at least 5 seconds.

    Understanding labels
    Learn the meaning of these symbols and you will get better
    results, your garments will last longer resulting in an
    improved wash.
    All over Europe, garment labels
    contain messages expressed in
    small yet important symbols.
    Understanding them is very
    important if you want to get
    better results and treat your
    garments the way they deserve
    to be treated.These symbols are divided in
    five different categories and
    shapes:
    washing 
    , bleaching ,
    ironing 
    , dry cleaning  and
    drying 
    .
    Consult and learn the symbols in this table: they will help you
    obtain a better wash, treat your clothes properly, and get a
    better performance out of your washing machine.
    Useful tips
    Turn shirts inside out to get better results
    and make them last longer.
    Always empty pockets of their contents.
    Look at the label: it will always give you useful
    advice.
    When loading your washing, try to have a mixture
    of large to small items.
    Make sure you select  the right
    temperature!

    							Useful tips
     Never use your washing
    machine to wash... torn, fraying
    or non-hemmed linen. If it is
    absolutely neccessary, place it in
    a bag for protection. Do not wash
    coloured linen with whites.
     Watch the weight!
    For best results, do not exceed
    the weight limits stated below
    (figures show weight of dry
    garments):
    - Resistant fabrics:
    5,5 kg maximum
    - Synthetic fabrics:
    2.5 kg maximum
    - Delicate fabrics:
    2 kg maximum
    - Pure new wool:
    1 kg maximum
    How to wash almost anything
     Curtains.
    Curtains tend to crease a great
    deal. A useful tip to reduce
    creasing: fold the curtains and
    place them in a pillow case or
    mesh bag. Do not load anything
    else inside the appliance, this
    will ensure that the overall
    weight does not exceed the half
    load. Remember to use the
    specific programme 10 which
    automatically excludes the spin
    cycle. Trainers.
    Once you have removed mud
    and dirt from trainers, you can
    even wash them with jeans or
    any other tough garments. Do
    not wash trainers with whites. Quilted coats and anorak.
    You can wash quilted coats and
    wind-cheaters, too, if they are
    padded with goose or duck
    down. Do not load more than
    2-3 kg and never load 5,5 kg.
    Repeat rinse once or twice
    using the gentle spin.
     How much does it weigh?
    1 sheet 400-500 gr.
    1 pillow case 150-200 gr.
    1 tablecloth 400-500 gr.
    1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr.
    1 towel 150-250 gr.
     Coloured T-shirts, printed
    ones and shirts last longer if
    turned inside out before washing.
    Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts
    should always be ironed inside out.
     Dungaree  alert.
    Very popular “salopette” type
    overalls have straps with hooks
    that can damage the drum of your
    washing machine or other
    garments during the wash. To
    minimise the risk, place hooks in
    the pocket and fasten with safety
    pins.
     Holidays: unplug the
    appliance.
    It is recommended that you
    should unplug the machine from
    the socket and turn off the water
    supply. Leave the door ajar to
    allow air circulation to the draw
    and the door gasket area. This will
    prevent unpleasant odours.
      Instructions for installation and use  6
    For best results, we
    recommend you use a
    specific detergent, taking
    care not to wash more than
    1 kg of laundry.
    WOOL CYCLE 
    						
    							You must follow the dosage
    recommendations provided by
    the manufacturers when adding
    detergent or fabric conditioner.
    Doses will vary according to the
    wash load, the water hardness
    and how soiled the washing is.
    Experience will help you select
    the right dosage almost
    automatically: it will become your
    secret.
    Before adding detergent for pre-
    washing in compartment 1,
    make sure that the extra
    compartment for bleach 4 has
    not been inserted.
    Ensure no overfilling when
    adding fabric conditioner in
    compartment 3.
    The washing machine automa-
    tically adds the softener to the
    wash in each programme.
    Liquid detergent is poured into
    compartment 2 just a few
    seconds before starting the
    wash cycle.
    In compartment 1:
    Detergent for pre-washing (powder)
    In compartment 2:
    Detergent for washing
    (powder or liquid)
    In compartment 3:
    Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)
    In compartment 4:
    Bleach and delicate bleach.
    Useful tips about the detergent dispenser
    It’s important for a good wash
    The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is
    opened by rotating it outwards.
    Remember that liquid detergent
    is only designed for wash
    cycles of up to 60 degrees on
    non pre-wash items.
    Special containers are sold with
    liquid or powder detergents for
    placing inside the washing
    machine drum, these are
    positioned according to the
    instructions found in the
    detergent box
    Never use hand wash
    detergent, because it may form
    too much foam, which could
    damage the washing machine.
    Detergents that are specifically
    formulated for both hand and
    machine wash are an
    exception.
    One last secret: when washing
    with cold water, always reduce
    the amount of detergent you use:
    it dissolves less easily in cold
    water than in hot water, so part
    of it would be wasted.
    Cutting costs efficientlyA guide to environmentally
    friendly and economic use
    of your appliance.
    MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE
    Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended
    maximum load size.
    SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
    DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?
    For heavily soiled laundry only!
    SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT
    selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.
    IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?
    Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to
    reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.
    SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.
    BEFORE USING A  DRYING PROGRAMME ...
    SAVE energy and time by selecting the highest suitable spin speed to reduce the water
    content in laundry before using a drying programme.
    The detergent dispenser  can be
    removed and cleaned: pull it outwards,
    as indicated in the figure. Then leave it
    under running water for a few  minutes.
    7  Instructions for installation and use
    Bleach cycle and stain remover
    button
    If bleaching is necessary, the
    extra case 4 (provided) must be
    inserted into compartment 1 of
    the detergent dispenser.
    When pouring in the bleach, be
    careful not to exceed the max
    level indicated on the central
    pivot (see illustration).
    The use of the additional bleach
    container excludes the
    possibility of using the pre-wash
    cycle. Traditional bleach can
    only be used on sturdy white
    fabrics, whereas delicate
    bleach can be used for
    coloured fabrics, synthetics
    and for wool.You cannot bleach with the
    “Silk” programme and with the
    “special programmes” (see
    page 4).
    Use the stain removal button
    every time you want to bleach.
    Should you want to do it
    separately you must pour the
    bleach into the additional
    container 4, press button F
    (stain removal), start the
    washing machine, then select
    one of the symbols 
    according to the type of fabric.

    							The washing machine
    fails to fill with water.
    Is the hose correctly
    connected to the tap?
    Is there a water shortage ?
    There could be work in
    progress in your building or
    street.
    Is there sufficient water
    pressure? The autoclave
    may be malfunctioning.
    Is the tap filter clean? If the
    water is very calcareous, or
    if work has recently been
    carried out on the water
    piping, the tap filter could be
    clogged with par ticles and
    debris.
    Is the rubber hose kinked?
    The tract of the rubber hose
    bringing water to washing
    machine must be as straight
    as possible. Make sure it is
    not squashed or kinked.
    The programme selector
    knob keeps turning?
    Wait a few minutes for the
    drain pump to empty the
    tub, switch the washer off,
    select one of the symbols
    stop/reset 
    , then switch it
    back on. If the knob continues
    to turn, call for assistance
    because it is showing an
    anomaly.
    The washing machine
    continuously fills and
    drains water.
    Is the drain hose positioned
    too low? It must be installed
    at a height ranging from 60 to
    100 cm.
     Is the end of the hose
    immersed in water?
     Does the wall drainage
    system have a breather
    pipe? If the problem persists
    even after these checks, turn
    the water supply off the
    machine and call for
    assistance.
    If you live on an upper floor of
    your building, there may be a
    problem with your drain trap.
    To solve this problem, a
    special valve must be
    installed.
    Before calling, read the following
    Troubleshooting
    In most cases, when your washing machine fails to work, the problems arising
    can be easily solved without  having to call for a technician. Before calling for
    assistance, always check these points.
    The washing machine
    fails to start.
    Is the plug correctly inserted
    into the socket? It could have
    been moved whilst cleaning.
    Is there electricity in the
    house?
    A circuit breaker may have
    switched off as a result of too
    many electrical appliances
    working at the same time. Or
    maybe due to a general failure
    in your entire area.
    Is the washing machine
    door closed properly?
    For safety reasons, the
    washing machine cannot workif the door is open or not shut
    properly.
    Is the On/Off button
    pressed?
    If it is, then a programmed start
    has been set.
    Is the programmed start
    knob, in the correct position
    for those models
    concerned?
    Is the water supply turned
    on? For safety reasons, if the
    washing machine does not
    load water, it cannot start a
    wash cycle.
    RIGHT      WRONG
    Turn off the water
    supply after use.
    This will eliminate
    the possibility of
    leakage.
    Always leave the
    appliance door ajar
    to avoid bad odours.
    Clean the
    appliance’s
    exteriors gently.
    To clean the
    exteriors and the
    rubber parts of the
    appliance, always
    use a soft cloth
    dipped in warm and
    soapy water.Leave the washing
    machine plugged in while
    cleaning.
    Even during maintenance,
    the appliance should
    always be unplugged.
    Use solvents and
    aggressive abrasives.
    Never use solvents or
    abrasives to clean the
    external and rubber parts
    of the washing machine.
    Neglect the detergent
    dispenser.
    It is removable and can
    easily be cleaned by
    leaving it under running
    water.

    thinking about her.
    Before leaving, always
    make sure that the
    washing machine is
    unplugged and that the
    water supply is turned off.

    Simple: with the new Indesit technology,  you need less than
    half of it, to get good results on twice as much!
    This is why you cannot see the water through the door:
    because there is little, very little of it, to respect the
    environment yet without renouncing maximum cleanliness.
    And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.
    But where did all the water go?

    Too much foam.
    Is the detergent appropriate
    for machine washing?
    Check whether the definition
    on its label reads “for machine
    wash” or “hand and machine
    wash”, or any other similar
    wording.
    Is the correct amount being
    used? An excessive amount
    of detergent, besides
    producing too much foam,
    does not guarantee a more
    effective wash, and causes
    scaling in the internal parts of
    the appliance.
    If, despite all checks, the
    washing machine fails to
    function and the problem
    persists, call your nearest

    the data plate situated at the
    back of the washing machine.
    Is there space between the
    machine and adjacent
    units? If it is not a built-in
    model, the washing machine
    will oscillate a bit during the
    spin cycle. A few cm of space
    should therefore be left
    around it.
