Starting the washer-dryer
After installing your new washer-dryer, start a wash cycle
by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.
Starting your washer-dryer in
the right way is important for the
quality of your wash, to help
prevent future problems and
enhance life expectancy of your
appliance. Once you have

2. The plug is secured in the
socket.
3. The water supply is turned
on.

and stockings and delicate
items by placing them in a
canvas pouch
(reference
), then press
button B (Start/Reset).
Always disconnect electricity at
the socket and turn off the water
supply.
If you want to interrupt the
programme in progress, press
button B for at least 3 seconds.
How to eliminate the most common stains
Ink and biro Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.
Tar Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately.
Wax Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with turpentine or
methyl alcohol.
Chewing gum Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.
Mold Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar, then
washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.
Lipstick Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene for silk.
Nail polish Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the
garment as the sheet gradually changes colour.
Grass Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.

the room temperature.
Special programmes
Class A at 40°C Your washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer’s action and the length of the wash cycle.
Daily wash Your washer-dryer has a programme available for the washing of lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time.
By setting programme 8 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.
We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Troubleshooting
Before calling, read the following
In most cases, when your washer-dryer fails to work, the problems arising 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

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.

Is the drain hose kinked?
The tract of the drain hose
must be as straight as
possible. Make sure the drain
hose is not squashed or
kinked.
Is there space between the
machine and adjacent
units? If it is not a built-in
model, the washer-dryer will
oscillate a bit during the spin
cycle. A few cm of space
should therefore be left
around it.
Is the washer-dryer’s drain
duct clogged? Is there an
extension of the drain hose?
If so, is it positioned
incorrectly, blocking the
water flow?
The washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer 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.

Easy Care and Maintenance
Treat your machine well and it will provide
many years of trouble free service
Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it in
shape.
Your washer-dryer 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, etc.
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.
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 washer-dryer.
The washer-dryer 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-dryer.
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer,
water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.
