INSTALLATION

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washer.

2. Make sure that the machine has not been

damaged during transportation. If it has

been damaged, contact the retailer and do

not proceed any further with the installation

process.

3. Remove the 4 protective screws (used

during transportation) and the rubber

washer with the corresponding spacer,

located on the rear part of the appliance.

See Figure.

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs

provided.

5. Keep all the parts in a safe place as they will

be needed again if the washing machine is

moved to another location.

Packaging materials should not be used as

toys for children.

Levelling

The machine may make a considerable

amount of noise if the 2 front feet have not

been adjusted correctly.

1. Install the washing machine on a flat and

sturdy floor, without placing it against walls,

cabinets or other furniture.

2. If the floor is not

perfectly level,

compensate for any

unevenness by

tightening or loosening

the adjustable front feet

(see figure); the angle

ofinclination,measured

in relation to the

worktop, must not exceed 2°.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide

it with stability, help to avoid any vibrations

and excessive noise and prevent it from

shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on

a carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a

way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space

underneath the machine.

Water Connections

1. Insert seal A into the end of

the inlet hose and screw the

latter onto a cold water tap

with a 3/4 gas threaded

opening. See Figure.

Before making the

connection, allow the water

to run freely until it is

perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end of the inlet hose to

the machine by screwing it onto the cold

water inlet of the appliance, which is

situated on the top right hand side on the

rear of the appliance. See figure.

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in

the hose.

NOTE: - If the machine does not fill with

water the Door Locked indicator light flashes

rapidly.

Indesit Company

Service Manual UK English

Drainage Connections

A. Connect the drain

hose, without

bending it, to a

draining duct or a

wall drain situated

between 65 and

100 cm from the

floor.

B. Alternatively, place it over the edge of a

basin, sink or tub, fastening the duct

supplied to the tap. See Figure.

The free end of the hose should not be

under water.

We advise against the use of hose

extensions. If it is absolutely necessary, the

extension must have the same diameter as

the original hose and must not exceed

150 cm in length.

Electrical Connections

Before plugging the appliance into the

mains socket, make sure that:

- the socket is able to withstand the

maximum power load of the appliance.

- the power supply voltage is falls within the

values indicated on the Technical

Information page.

- the socket is compatible with the washing

machines plug. If this is not the case,

replace the socket or the plug.

Location

! The washing machine must not be installed

outdoors, even in covered areas. It is

extremely dangerous to leave the appliance

exposed to rain, storms and other weather

conditions.

! When the washing machine is installed, the

mains socket must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.

! The power supply cable must never be bent

or dangerously compressed.

! The power supply cable must only be

replaced by an authorised serviceman.

WARNING!

The Company shall not be held responsible

in the event that these regulations are not

respected.

PAUSING / RE-STARTING A PROGRAMME

To activate the washing machines "Pause" function press the programme button of the programme

in progress.

The Power On button remains lit, the LED of the programme in progress flashes slowly, and the

central ring of LEDs start to flash (depending how far the appliance is into its programme will depend

on how many central LEDs are lit).

CAUTION: - Do not switch the appliance off during the drain cycle, as this will leave the water in the

drum potentially higher than the door seal lip depending on the programme.

NOTE: - BEFORE the machine switches off it will automatically run a drain cycle. This will happen

regardless if the appliance has water in it or not. During draining, the power on button will flash.

PROGRAMME PROGRESS

The inner ring of LEDs indicates the progress of the wash programme.

These start to light up in a clockwise direction, starting from the LED at the 12 O'clock position as

more LEDs light up, the previous ones remain lit.

AT THE END OF THE SELECTED PROGRAMME

When the wash programme ends, the Power On LED and the selected programme LED remain lit,

the inner ring of LEDs will begin to flash.
