washer arrives
Installation and removal
Whether new or just  transported to a new house,
installation is extremely important for the correct
functioning of your washing machine.
Connecting the drain hose
The drain hose (hooked pipe) is
secured to the rear of the machine
by support clips and may be
routed to right or left as required.
The hook to be used in case the drain
hose ends at a height below 60 cm.
The drain hose should be placed
in a stand pipe with a minimum
internal diameter of 38 mm (1½
inches) or it can be positioned over
a sink or it can be connected as
shown in Fig. A. The height of
stand pipe or sink should be
between 60 and 100 cm (24 and
40 inches). Care must be taken
that the hose is not obstructed,
twisted, submerged or kinked. If
the hose is connected with an
airtight joining, provision should be
made to prevent syphoning.

Electric connection
Your appliance is now supplied
with a 13 amp fused plug it can
be plugged into a 13 amp socket
for immediate use. Before using
the appliance please read the
instructions below.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE EARTHED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS
SHOULD  BE CARRIED OUT BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse:
When replacing a faulty fuse, a
13 amp ASTA approved fuse to
BS 1362 should always be used,
and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the
fuse cover is lost, the plug must
not be used until a replacement
is obtained.
Replacement fuse covers:
If a replacement fuse cover is
fitted, it must be of the correct
colour as indicated by the
coloured marking or the colour
that is embossed in words on the
base of the plug. Replacements
can be obtained directly from
your nearest Service Depot. After removing the appliance from
its packaging, check that it is
intact. If in doubt, contact a
qualified technician immediately.
The inside of the machine is
supported, for transportation, by
four screws on the back panel.
Before using the washing
machine, remove the screws,
remove the spacers together with
the rubber tubes attached to them
(keeping all the parts) and use the
plastic plugs provided to fill in the
holes.
Important: Use the cap (provided)
to close the 3 holes which housed
the stop pin, situated in the right-hand
par t of the lower back of the
washing machine.
Levelling
The washing machine must be
levelled appropriatey in order to
guarantee its correct functioning. To
level the appliance, the front feet
must be adjusted; the angle of
inclination, measured according to
the worktop, must not exceed 2°.
When placed on carpet, make sure
the ventilation is not reduced.
The front feet are adjustable.
Connection to the water
mains
Both hot and cold water supplies
are preferable and they should be
between 34.5kN/m²(5lb/in²) and
1034.2kN/m² (150lb/in²) pressure.
The hose having the red end fitting
should be encountered between
the hot supply and the threaded
connection adjacent to the letter H
on the rear of the machine. The
hose having the white end fittings
should be connected between the
cold supply and the threaded
connection adjacent to the letter C
on the rear of the machine.
Remember to insert a sealing
washer at each connection to
ensure watertight joints.  Do not
overtighten the connections by
using tools -hand tight is sufficient
to prevent leaks. It is generally more
convenient to have these supplies
away from the sink taps.  Where
no suitable hot water supply is
available or it does not meet these
requirements, both inlet hoses may
be connected to a cold supply by
using two taps etc., or a «T»
junction on the plumbing however,
use of cold water only will increase
programme times.
Note: the maximum temperature
should not exceed 70°C (158°F).
The rubber gasket.
Connect the inlet hose to the
threaded connector on the
machine rear.
Water pipe inlet at the top right.

The company denies all
liability if and when these
norms are not respected.
Plastic bags, expanded
styrofoam, nails and other
packaging parts are not
children’s toys, and are
potentially dangerous.
Retain the transit screws,
spacers and washers.
Should you move house
then these should be
replaced to support the
inside of the machine to
prevent damage when
transporting the machine.

							Mounting the wooden panel
onto the door and inserting
the machine into cabinets:
In the case where the machine
must be shipped for final
installation after the wooden
panel has been mounted, we
suggest leaving it in its original
packaging. The packaging was
designed  to make it possible to
mount the wooden panel onto
the machine without removing it
completely (see figures
below).The wooden panel that covers
the face of the machine must not
be less than 18 mm in
thickness and can be hinged on
either the right or left. For the
sake of practicality when using
the machine, we recommend
that the panel be hinged on the
same side as the door for the
machine itself - the left.Door Mounting Accessories

							Treat your machine well and it will provide
many years of trouble free service
Easy Care and Maintenance
Your washing machine is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it
in shape.
Your washing machine is
designed to provide reliable
service over many years. A few
simple steps will help to prolong
its life and avoid problems. It is
advisable, to turn off water taps
when the machine is not to be
used, this protects the hoses,
etc.
If the water in your area is too
hard, use a deliming product
(water is hard if it often leaves
whitish stains around taps or
drains, especially of bath tubs.
For more accurate information as
to the type of water in your
system, call the local water
works or a local plumber).
Pockets must always be
emptied removing even pins,
badges and any other hard
object.
The washing machine exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap.Never exaggerate with doses.
Normal detergents already
contain deliming agents. Only if
the water is particularly hard,
that is, rich in lime content, do
we recommend the use of a
specific product at every wash.
A periodical wash cycle with a
dose of a deliming product,
without detergents or washing,
may prove useful.
Never use too much detergent
or additives because this could
cause an excess amount of
foam, scaling and possible
damage to the component parts
of your washing machine.
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The washer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance.
The water inlet hose
Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washing
machine, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.
It is important to wash
the detergent dispenser
regularly.
To prevent dried washing
powder from
accumulating, place the
dispenser under running
water for a few minutes.
Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can
cause damage to your washer.

							Your safety and that of
your family
Important for the safe use of your washing machine
Your washer has been built  in compliance with
the strictest international safety regulations. To
protect you and all your family.
Read these instructions and all
the information in this manual
carefully: they are an important
source, not only of numerous
useful tips, but also of vital
information on safety, use and
maintenance.
1. the machine should not be
installed in an outdoor
environment, not even
when a roof shelters the
area, because it may be very
dangerous to leave it
exposed to rain and
thunderstorms.
2. It must only be used by
adults and  exclusively for
washing clothes following
the instructions provided in
this manual.
3.Should it have to be moved,
proceed with the help of two
or three people and handle
it with the utmost care.
Never try to do this alone,
because the appliance is
very heavy.
4.Before loading the washing
machine, make sure the
drum is empty.5. Never touch the washing
machine when barefoot or
with wet or damp hands
or feet.
6. Never use extensions or
multiple plugs, which  are
particularly dangerous in
humid environments. The
power supply cable must
never be bent or
dangerously compressed.7. Never open the detergent
dispenser while the
appliance is functioning;
do not use hand wash
detergent because the
abundance of foam  could
damage its internal parts.
How to change the power supply cable
The washing machine
power supply cable is
special and can be purchased
exclusively from authorised
Technical Service Centres.
To replace the cable:
1. Make sure that the machine
is switched off and unplugged.2. Remove the cover by
unscrewing screws I [fig 13].
3. Disconnect the wires from
the radio interference
suppressor F [fig. 14] noting as
to their position (Blue=N wire;
Brown=L wire) leaving the
earth wire until last 
.
N.B.: letters L, N and the
symbol 
 are indicated on theradio interference suppressor.
4. Remove the screw and
washer V [fig. 15], which act as
a stop for the cable passageway.
5. Remove the upper part of the
cable slightly from the back
panel of the appliance, pull the
power supply cable upwards and
take it out [fig. 16].To connect  the new power
supply cable, reverse the pro-
cedure.
It is important for your
safety that you reassemble
all parts and screws used.
8. Never pull on the supply
cable or the washing
machine to disconnect it
from the wall socket: it is
extremely dangerous.
9.While the appliance is
functioning, do not touch
the drain water  as it could
reach very high
temperatures.  The
appliance door, during
wash cycles, tends to
become hot; ensure that
children do no touch it.
Never force the washing
machine door because
this could damage the
safety lock which prevents
accidental opening when the
nachine is working. Allow a
few minutes at the end of the
program for the lock to
release.
10. In case of malfunctioning,
first close the water tap
and unplug the appliance
from the wall socket; do not
under any circumstances
touch internal parts in order
to attempt repairs.
I only want an authorised
specialised technician with
original  Indesit spare parts!
