The data found in the table is purely indicative, and can vary according to the quantity and type of washing, the water system temperature and  
the room temperature.  
Special programmes  
A class at 40°C Your washer has a special programme to allow you to obtain optimum results even at low temperatures.  
By setting programme 4 at a temperature of 40° C, the results you will obtain will be the same as you would normally obtain at 60°C thanks  
to the washing machine’s action and the length of the wash cycle.  
Daily wash Your washer has a programme available for the washing of lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time.  
By setting programme 9 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.

Troubleshooting

can be easily solved without having to call for a technician. Before calling for  
assistance, always check these points.

But where did all the water go?  
Is the On/Off button  
pressed?  
If it is, then a programmed start  
has been set.  
Simple: with the new Indesit technology, you need less than  
half of it, to get good results on twice as much!  
Is the plug correctly inserted  
into the socket? It could have  
been moved whilst cleaning.  
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.  
Is there electricity in the  
house?  
Has the Start/Reset button

If it is, then a programmed start

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.  
Is the washing machine’s  
drain duct clogged? Is there  
an extension of the drain  
hose? If so, is it positioned  
incorrectly, blocking the  
water flow?  
The washing machine  
does not drain or spin.  
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.  
Does  
the  
selected  
programme incorporates  
water draining? Some  
programmes stop at the end  
of the wash cycles and  
draining will have to be  
selected manually.  
The washing machine  
leaks.  
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.  
Is the “Easy ironing"  
function -where provided -  
selected? Complete the  
programme by pressing the  
select button.  
Is the metal ring of the inlet  
hose properly attached?  
Turn off the water supply,  
unplug the appliance and try  
tightening its attachment  
without forcing it.  
Excessive vibration  
during the spin cycle.  
Is the drain pump clogged?  
To check it, turn off the water  
supply, unplug the washing  
machine and follow the  
instructions on page 12, or  
call for technical assistance.

Removing the plug:  
When disposing of the appliance  
please remove the plug by  
cutting the mains cable as close  
as possible to the plug body and  
dispose of it as described above.  
If your appliance has a non-  
rewireable moulded plug and you  
should wish to re-route the mains  
cable through partitions, units  
etc., please ensure that either:  
the plug is replaced by a fused  
13 ampere re-wearable plug  
bearing the BSI mark of approval.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly  
into a 13 amp cable outlet,  
controlled by a switch, (in  
compliance with BS 5733) which  
is accessible without moving the  
appliance.

Easy Care and Maintenance  
Treat your machine well and it will provide  
many years of trouble free service  
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,  
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.  
etc.  
If the water in your area is too  
hard, use a deliming product  
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.  
(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.  
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.  
The washing machine exterior  
should be cleaned with a rag  
dipped in lukewarm water and  
soap.  
Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can  
cause damage to your washer.  
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. Small  
objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible  
damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.  
Attention: Before attempting to examine this pre-chamber, first  
ensure that the machine has finished its programme and is empty.  
Unplug the machine, as with any maintenance.  
To gain access gently ease down the top of the plinth panel situated at  
the base of the machine, with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then  
ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place  
a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catch  
the small amount of water present. Release the cover by turning anti-  
clockwise (Fig. 2). Ensure that the cover is securely replaced.  
Fig. 1  
The water inlet hose  
Fig. 2  
Re-fit the plinth cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge into  
the slots and ease the top edge back into position.  
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.
