ThankyouforchoosinganIndesitproduct. Thiswasher

is reliable and easy to use.

We suggest you read your owner's manual carefully.

This will help you become familiar with your washer

and its functions in order to obtain years of trouble

free performance.

Controlled consumption

The machine automatically adjusts the amount of water used

in the wash to the size of the load, giving optimum use of

water, energy and detergent.

Double-action wash

Clothes are soaked in water and detergent, water then

“rains” steadily through the clothes.

Safety, a good habit to get into

CAUTION

1. Understanding the labels

Using your washer

Preparing your laundry....

Divide your laundry by fabric and colour fastness.Wash white

and coloured items separately.

Remember to empty pockets, removing especially those small

items like coins, paper, pins and badges that might jam the

pump. Fasten or remove loose buttons and fasten zippers.

Turn shirts inside out for better results.

Checkwash labels

Garments and laundry generally have wash instruction labels

(which tell you if they shloud be dry-cleaned, hand washed

or machine washed) showing the wash temperature, how

to iron etc.

Important: fabrics should only be machine washed if their

labels show the appropriate symbol (see table 1).

Alternate small and large items when

loading your washer

This washing machine has an electronic load balancing

control:before carrying out the spin cycle, this device ensures

that the laundry is arranged as evenly as possible in the drum,

according to the type of fabric and the way it was initially

loaded. This will minimize vibration and noise even during

the fastest spin cycle. For best results however, we

recommend you alternate small and large items when you

load your washing machine remember to spread them out;

never wash large loads of terry cloth items.

Detergents and fabric softener

Open detergent dispenser Dby pulling it outwards.Fill with

detergent and conditioner using the quantities indicated by

the manufacturer on the packet according to the load you

are washing, the water hardness and how soiled your laundry

is.As you become more familiar with your washer, you will

regulate the quantities according to your own personal

experience.

Compartment 1

Prewash cycle detergent

(powder)

Compartment 2

Wash cycle detergent

(powder or liquid)

Compartment 3

Fabric softner

Never fill compartment 3above the grid.

Use compartment 2for liquid detergent, filling the

compartment just before you start the washer. Remember

that liquid detergent is ideal for wash cycles with

temperatures up to 60°C and for the programmes with no

prewash cycle.Special containers are available for liquid and

powder detergents. Fill the container and place in the drum

with the laundry, following the instructions shown on the

detergent packet.

Do not use hand washing detergents since these produce

very heavy suds.

When using cold wash cycles, remember to reduce the

detergent dosage.

Starting up your washer

Run the first wash without laundry using programme

2 at 90°C.

Load your laundry in the washer, add the detergent and

fabric softener and remember to:

- shut the door properly

- plug the washer in at the mains

- turn on the water supply

- check that button Eis not pressed in (position O)

Selecting the programme

The table on pages 5 will help you choose the right

programme.Turn dial Ato the programme number you have

chosen.Set the temperature on dial Band, if necessary, press

functions buttons F, G; set ON/OFF button Eto position I

(ON).

At the end of the wash cycle...

To turn off the washer press the ON-OFF button Eand wait

approximately 3 minutes before opening the door. Once you

have removed your clean laundry from the washer, remember

to leave the door open or at least ajar (this will prevent the

formation of an unpleasant odour) and shut off the water

supply.

Washing tips

What not to wash in your appliance?

- Torn, frayed or unhemmed items; in order to wash items

of this kind, wrap them in a linen bag to prevent them from

tearing during the wash.

- Dark coloured items with white items. Dark items should

be washed separately .

Curtains

Curtains tend to crease badly.Try this washing hint to prevent

creases:fold the curtains carefully and place in a pillow case

or loose mesh bag; wash separately ensuring that the weight

is no more than a half wash load.

Quilts, tennis shoes and wind-cheaters

Contrary to common belief, goose or duck down quilts and

wind-cheaters, can in fact be machine washed, provided

the instructions shown on the label are followed carefully.

Remember however to load no more than 2-3 kg of laundry

and to repeat the rinse cycle once or twice following with a

gentle spin. In the case of tennis shoes, wipe off mud and

then machine wash with denims or heavy fabrics (but not

white fabrics).

Stain removal

The most common stains will disappear during the wash. If

they are particularly stubborn, soak the garment in water

and rub a little detergent onto the stain before putting it in

the washing machine.

Greasy marks (especially old ones) need treating with a stain-

remover. Be careful not to mark the fabric with remover.

Pre-treatment for awkward stains

- Ink:ball point/felt tip;Put a few drops of nail varnish remover

or surgical spirit onto a piece of cotton wool and dab the

stain.Wash at 90°C (NB.This is only suitable for colourfast

cottons)

- Tar and oil; Scrape off any thick tar or oil on the surface.

Soften the remainder with margarine or butter and wipe

away with a clean cloth. Treat any residual stain with

turpentine, then wash according to the fabric

- Wax; Scrape off, then put the stained garment between

two pieces of blotting paper and press with a hot iron.Dab

the stain immediately with cotton wool dipped in turpentine

- Chewing gum; Apply nail varnish remover to the gum,

then remove it carefully

- Lipstick;Pretreat with a liquid detergent using the dosing

ball, rub vigorously and rinse before washing

- Grass; Soak in a warm washing solution using a biological

washing product, then wash according to the fabric.

Alternatively, saturate the stain with white methylated spirit.

Rinse and wash normally

- Paint:Water based latex, acrylic and school paints, emulsion

paints;Treat stains while still wet. Rinse thoroughly under

running water to flush out the paint, then wash according

to the fabric.

Oil based paint/varnish; Sponge with white spirit or paint

brush cleaner before washing in the normal way.

Do not exceed the recommended weights

Energy saving hints

General maintenance

-Try to wash complete laundry loads:this saves unnecessary

consumption of water and energy.

- Select the right programme for your laundry: this will

obviously depend on the type of fabric and how soiled your

laundry is;we recommend the use of programmes without

prewash which will save you time, water and energy. The

prewash cycle should in fact be used only for heavily soiled,

cotton fabrics.

- Set the right temperature: use temperatures above 60°C

only for very stubborn dirt but remember that modern

detergents are very efficient even at low temperatures.

- Use the correct quantities of detergent: do not use too

much detergent; remember that not only will this make

rinsing more difficult but also pollutes the enviroment.

- Use the economy buttons: when washing small laundry

loads use the Economy button if available on your washer

and reduce the detergent quantity.

After every wash

Leave the door open and wipe the door gasket dry after

each wash so that damp or odours do not form.

Remove the plug

Before cleaning or servicing always remove the plug from

the socket. This is for safety reasons.

No solvents or abrasive substance

You do not need solvents or abrasive substances to clean

the outside of the washing-machine and the rubber parts.

Just use a cloth, warm water and soap.

Detergent dispenser

drawer

This can be removed and

cleaned. Just pull it towards

you, as shown in the diagram,

and leave it under running

water for a few minutes.

Unplug the machine when you go away

It’s best to unplug the machine when you go away, turn off

the water supply and leave the machine door open or ajar.

The drum and rubber door lining will dry and no unpleasant

odours will form inside.

When moving house

When you move, all you need to do is secure the inside of

the machine with the transit screws (supplied with the

packaging of the machine) so that it will not be damaged.

Cleaningand special servicing

Hose

Check the hose once a year. It should be replaced if any

signs of splitting or damage can be seen. The machine is

under a lot of strain while operating and this may cause a

cracked hose to split open suddenly.

The drain pump

Your washer has a self-cleaning pump and therefore requires

no cleaning or mainteannce.

Removinglimescale

Water contains increasing amounts of limescale because of

pollution. If you live in a hard water area in addition to

using water-softener in each wash, it is a good idea to put

the machine through a cycle without laundry or detergent,

just using limescale remover.

-Your washer features automatic consumption control, this

means that you can wash laundry loads from 1 - 5 kg with

considerable savings. Your washer will use just the right

amount of water and electricity. All you need to do is dose

the detergent.

- Fabric softeners: always use a softener; not only do these

perfume and soften your laundry, they also make it easy to

iron, saving you time.

Trouble shooting

If the machine does not seem to be working properly before

calling the service engineer there are a number of things

you can check. Perhaps you have forgotten to push in a

button or you are not using the machine properly.

Machine won't start

Make sure:

the appliance is plugged to the mains socket; you have

electricity in your home, the door is firmly shut, the ON/OFF

button Eis on I, the programming cycle knob, in washers

which have one, is on O, the programme is properly set and

the mains water tap is open.

Machine won't fill

Make sure:

the water tap is open and connected correctly to the hose;

the water mains has not been cut off and that water pressure

is sufficient;also check the hose for kinks.

Water is pumping in and out all the time

Make sure:

there are no kinks in the drain pipe and that it is at least at a

height of 60-100 cm; the pipe mouth is not below water

level and that the wall drain has no air outlet.If the problems

continue even after you have checked these points, shut

the water tap and turn off your washer.

Problems with pumping out water or

spinning

Make sure:

the programme selected has a draining cycle; the non

creasing "hydropstop" button, on washers which have one,

has not been pressed accidentally;the drainage pump is not

jammed; the drain pipe is bent; the drainage piping is

plugged; any drainage pipe extensions are properly

connected and do not prevent water flow.

Lots of vibration during the spin

Make sure:

the internal oscillating unit was released correctly at the time

of installation (see installation instructions); the washer is

levelled correctly or too tightly fitted between furniture units

and the wall.

Your washer is leaking.

Make sure:

the ring nut of the supply pipe is firmly tightened; the

detergent dispenser is not plugged and the drainage pipe is

firmly fixed.

Excessiveformation of suds.

Make sure:

the type of detergent you have used - is it suitable for an

automati washer - have you used too much detergent?

If despite all this your washer is still not running properly, call

your local Authorized Service Centre providing the

following information:

- fault

- model code (Mod. ....)

and serial number (S/N ....)

shown on the data plate at the back of your washer.

Never use the services of an unauthorised servicing technician

and insist on the use of original spare parts.

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 (see fig.5).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 (see fig. 6) or it

can be connected as shown in fig. 7. 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.

Installation

Transit packing

After removing the packing, check the appliance for damage.

If you have any doubts do not use the washer and call a quali-

fied technician. Keep the packaging components (plastic bags,

polyester foam, nails etc.) out of the reach of children since

they could be dangerous.The interior of the washer, has an

oscillating unit which is fixed on the back by 3 screws during

transport (fig. 1). Before starting up the washer, release the

unit, by unscrewing the 3 screws.Seal the screw holes with

the plastic plugs supplied with the appliance.

Levelling

The washer must be perfectly levelled.To level the appliance,

only the front feet need to be adjusted (see fig.2);remember

that the inclination of the working surface must not be more

than 2 degrees.If the washer is installed on a carpeted floor,

check that there is sufficient ventilation space between the

floor and the bottom of the washer.

Water supply

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 Hon the rear of

the machine. The hose having the whiteend fittings should

be connected between the cold supply and the threaded

connection adjacent to the letter Con the rear of the ma-

chine (see fig. 3). 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 (see fig. 4) however, use of cold water only will

increase programme times.

Note: the maximum temperature should not exceed 70°C

(158°F).
