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.
The drain hose may
be connected to
an under-sink trap.
Before connecting
the drain hose from
the machine ensure
that any blanks or
removable ends have
been taken off the
spigot.

THED.THEFOLLOWINGOPERATIONSSHOULD
BECARRIEDOUTBYAQUALIFIEDELECTRICIAN.
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.
Where it connects to
the waste water pipe
cut end off spigot or
remove the blanking cap
Replacement fuse covers:
If it is place over
the edge of a basin
or sink be sure the
free end of the hose
should not be under-
water.
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
obtaineddirectlyfromyournearestServiceDepot.
Removing the plug:
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded
plug and you should wish to re-route the mains
cable through partitions, units etc., please en-
sure that either:
!We advise against the use of hose extensions;
in case of absolute need, the extension must
have the same diameter as the original hose
and must not exceed 150 cm in length.
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere
re-wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of
approval.
or:
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a
standpipe, that the end does not go down more
than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed
down too far, this may cause the machine to
self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.
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.
Disposing of the plug:
Electric connection
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself,
you make the pins unusable so that it cannot
be accidentally inserted into a socket.
Before plugging the appliance into the mains
socket, make sure that:

Instructions for the fitter
GB
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 ori-
ginal 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.

The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the
machine.
Mounting the Panel into the machine.
Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow
in fig. 2) into the hole for the hinge and push the
panel towards the front of the machine. Fasten
the two hinges with the type D screws.
Fastening the plinth guide.
If the machine is installed at the end of a set of
modular cabinets, mount either one or both of
the guides for the base molding (as shown in fig.
8). Adjust them for depth based on the position
of the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten
the base to the guides (fig. 9).
This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8):
Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide
Q into the special slot and once it is in the desired
position, lockitinplaceusinganglePandscrewR.
Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.
- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it
with the cabinets (fig. 6).

Cutting off the water or electricity
supply
GB
Checking the water inlet hose
• Turn off the water tap after every wash. This
will limit the wear of your appliance’s water
system and also prevent leaks.
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If
youseeanycracks, replaceitimmediately:during
thewashcycles,waterpressureisverystrongand
a cracked hose could easily split open.
• Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
!Never use hoses that have already been used.
Theexteriorandrubberpartsofyourappliancecan
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Remove the dispen-
ser by pulling it out
(see figure).
1
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.

Caring for your appliance door and
drum
• Always leave the appliance door ajar to pre-
vent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
Thewashingmachineisfittedwithaself-cleaning
pump that does not require any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or but-
tons) may fall into the pre-chamber that protects
the pump, situated in the lower part of the same.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and
unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. unscrew the lid ro-
tating it anti-clockwi-
se (see figure): a little
water may trickle out.

Precautions and advice
Old appliances must be collected separately in order
! The washing machine was designed and built in complian-
ce with the applicable international safety regulations. The
following information is provided for your safety and should
consequently be read carefully.
GB
to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials
they contain and reduce the impact on human health
and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin”
symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation,
that when you dispose of the appliance it must be
separately collected. Consumers should contact their
local authority or retailer for information concerning the
correct disposal of their old appliance.
General safety
• This appliance has been designed for non-
professional, household use and its functions must
not be changed.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and know-
ledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervi-
sed to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Saving energy and respecting the envi-
ronment
Environmentally-friendly technology
If you only see a little water through your appliance door,
this is because thanks to the latest Indesit technology, your
washing machine only needs less than half the amount
of water to get the best results: an objective reached to
respect the environment.
• Never touch the washing machine when barefoot
or with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug
the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the
plug out yourself.
Saving on detergent, water, energy and time
• To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine
should be used with a full load. A full load instead
of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on
energy.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser while the
appliance is in operation.
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach
very high temperatures.
• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on
extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on
detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15%
energy.
• Never force the washing machine door: this could
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to
prevent any accidental openings.
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them
to soak before washing will cut down the need to
wash them at high temperatures. A programme at
60°C instead of 90°C or one at 40°C instead of
60°C will save up to 50% on energy.
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any
circumstances touch internal parts in order to
attempt repairs.
• Always keep children well away from the
appliance while in operation.
• Use the correct quantity of detergent depending
on the water hardness, how soiled the garments
are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid
wastage and to protect the environment: despite
being biodegradable, detergents do contain
ingredients that alter the natural balance of the
environment. In addition, avoid using fabric
softener as much as possible.
• The appliance door tends to get quite hot during
the wash cycle.
• 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.
• If you use your washing machine from late in the
afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you
will help reduce the electricity board’s peak load.
The Delay Timer option helps to organise your wash
cycles accordingly.
• Before loading your laundry into the washing
machine, make sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging material:
• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,
select a high spin speed. Having the least water
possible in your laundry will save you time and
energy in the drying process.
observelocalregulations, sothepackagingcanbere-used.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that
old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary accor-
ding to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 5 with a temperature of 60°C.
This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments
which can be washed at 60°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40°C.
This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments
which can be washed at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.
For all Test Institutes:
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40°C.
3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 4; with a temperature of 40°C.
Notes
-For programmes 9 and 10, we advise against exceeding a wash load of 3.5 kg.
-For programme 14 we advise against exceeding a wash load of 2.5 kg.
Cotton Standard 20° (wash cycle 8) ideal for heavily soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold
temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying
speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.
Daily (programme 12 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts 30
minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (13 at 30°C), you can wash different
fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Setting the temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Programme table).
The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( ).
Setting the spin speed
Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the programme selected.
The maximum spin speeds for each programme are as follows:
Programmes
Cottone
Maximum spin speed
1200 rpm
Synthetics
Wool
800 rpm
800 rpm
The spin speed can be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting symbol
.
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed higher than the maximum speed for each
programme.
Note: to avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by conti-
nuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed.
When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the set
frequency.
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.
The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

• The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between
65 and 100 cm from the floor.
• The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to
run into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the
bottom of the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.
• The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the
‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.
The machine does not drain or
spin.
• The Pump filter is blocked.
• The “Easy iron” function is enabled: to complete the programme,
press the START/RESET button (see page 13).
• The drain hose is kinked.
• New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed
if connected under a sink.
• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.

temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase
the programme times accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’
below).
The machine vibrates a lot during
the spin cycle.

GB
The machine wont spin properly.
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this happens
the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load required
before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase
the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.
Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet,
quilt, etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.
The machine leaks from the di-
spenser.
• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.
• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down
the tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.
• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.
The machine leaks (other than
dispenser).
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or
the fill hose is missing the rubber washer.
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.
The indicator lights on the conso-
le are flashing rapidly.
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute
and then switch it back on again If the problem persists contact the
Technical Assistance Service.
The machine smells.
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with
detergent and no laundry.
The machine door cannot be
opened.
• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out
shortly after the program has finished.
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.
There is too much foam.
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the
text ‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).
After completing the programme,
or before starting a programme,
the machine has turned itself off
(no lights).
• To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.
General.
• Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during
the wash cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance
loads, Wash time/progress). Normally, if your machine successfully
completes the cycle, there is unlikely to be anything wrong!
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation,
as listed above.
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine wa-
shable.
