Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the washing machine to inform the new owner as to its operation and features. GB Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety. Unpacking and levelling Unpacking 1. Unpack the washing machine. 2. Check whether the washing machine has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer. 3. Remove the 3 protective screws and the rubber washer with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see figure). 4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided. 5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location. Packaging materials are not children's toys. Levelling Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly. 1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other. 2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. 2 Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the washing machine. Electric and water connections Connecting the water inlet hose 1. Connect the supply pipe to the water mains using a gas 3/4 attachment, fitting the rubber gasket and the filter supplied with the appliance and ensuring that they are fimly tightened to the taps. The water supply marked C must be connected to the cold water tap; the pipe marked H must be connected to the hot water tap. Both pipes may be connected to the cold water tap using the special Y connection with multiple attachments, supplied with the appliance (see figure). Before making the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear. 2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine, screwing it onto the appliance's cold water inlet, 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. The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Technical details table (on the next page). If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman. Connecting the drain hose 65 - 100 cm Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor; GB 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 denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected. 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 underwater. 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. Electric connection Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that: the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law; the socket is able to sustain the appliance's maximum power load indicated in the Technical details table (on the right); the supply voltage is included within the values i ndicated on the Technical details table (on the right); the socket is compatible with the washing machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug. The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even when the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms. When the washing machine is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach.

Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons. Do not exceed the maximum load values shown in the "Programme table". To avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by continuously 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. How much does your laundry weigh? 1 1 1 1 1 sheet 400-500 g pillow case 150-200 g tablecloth 400-500 g bathrobe 900-1200 g towel 150-250 g Special items Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme which excludes the spin cycle automatically. Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice. Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1,5 kg. Sportswear: use the "Special Sport" programme. It is possible to run an initial pre-wash phase, which is useful for removing soil or mud residues from the garments. To use this phase, pour powder detergent into compartment 1 of the detergent drawer (see Washing machine description). The pre-wash phase will not run if the timer knob is set to a duration between 30 minutes and 1 hour (inclusive). 8 Precautions and advice The washing machine was designed and built in compliance with the applicable international safety regulations. The following information is provided for your safety and should consequently be read carefully. General safety This appliance has been designed for nonprofessional, household use and its functions must not be changed. This washing machine should only be used by adults and in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual. 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. Do not open the detergent dispenser while the appliance is in operation. 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. Saving energy and respecting the environment 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. Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures. 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. 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. In the event of a malfunction, do not under any circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs. 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. Always keep children well away from the appliance while in operation. 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. GB 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. Before loading your laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty. Disposal Disposing of the packaging material: observe local regulations, so the packaging can be re-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. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce 9 Care and maintenance Cutting off the water or electricity supply GB Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliance's water system and also prevent leaks. Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations. Cleaning your appliance The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives. Cleaning the detergent dispenser Remove the dispenser by pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently. Cleaning the pump The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) 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. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front of the washing machine (see figure); 2. unscrew the lid rotating it anticlockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal; Caring for your appliance door and drum Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. 3. clean the interior thoroughly; 4. screw the lid back on; 5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance. Checking the water inlet hose Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open. Never use hoses that have already been used. 10 Troubleshooting Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see Service), make sure the problem can't easily be solved by consulting the following list. GB Problem Possible causes/Solution: The washing machine won't start. The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact. There has been a power failure. The wash cycle won't start. The appliance door is not shut properly. has not been pressed. The ON/OFF button has not been pressed. The START/CANCEL button The water tap is not turned on. A washing end time between "3h" and "24h" has been set (see Running a wash cycle). The washing machine fails to load water. The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap. The hose is bent. The water tap is not turned on. There is a water shortage. The water pressure is insufficient. has not been pressed. The START/CANCEL button The washing machine continuously loads and unloads water. The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see Installation). The free end of the hose is underwater (see Installation). The wall drainage system doesn't have a breather pipe. If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing machine to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops. The washing machine does not drain or spin. The drain hose is bent (see Installation). The drain duct is clogged. The washing machine vibrates too much during the spin cycle. When the machine is installed, the locking screws for the oscillating assembly are still in place. Remove the screws (see Installation). The washing machine is not level (see Installation). The washing machine is closed in between furniture cabinets and the wall (see Installation). The washing machine leaks. The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see Installation). The detergent dispenser is obstructed (to clean it, see Care and maintenance). The drain hose is not secured properly (see Installation). The ON-OFF/DOOR LOCK indicator light flashes extremely rapidly. This means there is a problem with the machine.
