Indesit Washer Dryer WG1239T User Manual

Thank you for choosing an Indesit product. This washer  
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.  
Saves while it washes  
The double action wash penetrates so deeply that at just  
60°C you obtain the same results you would normally obtain  
at 90°C with a traditional washer.  
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

Using your washer  
Preparing your laundry....  
Alternate small and large items when  
loading your washer  
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.  
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.  
Check wash 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).

Never fill compartment 3 above the grid.  
Detergents and fabric softener  
Use compartment 2 for 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.  
Open detergent dispenser C by 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.  
Do not use hand washing detergents since these produce  
very heavy suds.  
When using cold wash cycles, remember to reduce the  
detergent dosage.

Washing tips  
Stain removal  
What not to wash in your appliance?  
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.  
- 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  
Pre-treatment for awkward stains  
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.  
- 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  
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).  
- 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  
shown in the table  
For best washing results, do not exceed the recommended  
weights shown in the table;the weights shown refer to dry  
laundry.

Energy saving hints  
-Try to wash complete laundry loads:this saves unnecessary  
consumption of water and energy.  
-Your washer features automatic consumption control, this  
means that you can wash laundry loads from 1 - 4,5 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.  
- 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.  
General maintenance  
After every wash  
When moving house  
Leave the door open and wipe the door gasket dry after  
each wash so that damp or odours do not form.  
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.  
Remove the plug  
Cleaning and special servicing  
Before cleaning or servicing always remove the plug from  
the socket. This is for safety reasons.  
Hose  
No solvents or abrasive substance  
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.  
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  
The drain pump  
Your washer has a self-cleaning pump and therefore requires  
no cleaning or mainteannce.  
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.  
Removing limescale  
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.  
Unplug the machine when you go away  
Its 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.

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.  
Excessive formation of suds.  
Make sure:  
the type of detergent you have used - is it suitable for an  
automati washer - have you used too much detergent?  
Machine won't start  
Make sure:  
If despite all this your washer is still not running properly, call  
your local Authorized Service Centre providing the  
following information:  
the appliance is plugged to the mains socket; you have  
electricity in your home, the door is firmly shut, the ON/OFF  
button D is 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.  
-
-
fault  
model code (Mod. ....)  
and serial number (S/N ....)  
shown on the data plate at the back of your washer.  
Machine won't fill  
Make sure:  
Never use the services of an unauthorised servicing technician  
and insist on the use of original spare parts.  
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.

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.  
Fig. 4  
Fig. 3  
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.  
Fig. 1  
Fig. 2  
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 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 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.
