Frequently Asked Questions - WITL 861 (EU) INDESIT

How do I start the washing machine for the first time?

Plug in the machine, open the water tap, load laundry (max 8 kg), add detergent, select a program (e.g., Cotton 60°C), and press Start/Pause. Before first use, run an empty cycle with detergent to clean the drum.

What does error code F01 mean?

Error F01 indicates a motor control failure. Try unplugging the machine for 1 minute, then restart. If persistent, contact technical support as the control board may need replacement.

How do I clean the detergent dispenser?

Remove the drawer by pressing the release lever. Rinse under warm water, clean the compartments with a brush, and wipe the drawer housing. Reinsert fully. Repeat every 2-3 months.

Why is my laundry still wet after spinning?

Check if the spin speed is set low (e.g., 400 rpm). For maximum drying, select a high spin speed (up to 1600 rpm). Also ensure the load is balanced; redistribute clothes if necessary.

How can I delay the start of a wash cycle?

Press the Start Delay button to set a delay from 1 to 24 hours. The selected time will appear on the display. After setting, press Start/Pause; the machine will begin after the delay.

What is the maximum load for a quick wash?

For the Quick Wash program (30°C), the maximum load is 3.5 kg. Exceeding this may reduce cleaning performance.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the Child Lock button (or a combination per manual) for 3 seconds until the lock icon appears. Repeat to deactivate. This prevents accidental button presses during a cycle.

Why is the machine making unusual noises?

Check for foreign objects (coins, keys) in the drum or filter. Ensure the machine is level and not touching walls. Unbalanced loads can cause thumping; redistribute clothes.

How do I clean the filter?

Unplug the machine, open the filter cover at the bottom, place a towel, remove the filter by turning counterclockwise, clean out debris, and reinsert. Do this every 1-2 months.

Where can I find spare parts for this model?

Spare parts are available through Indesit authorized service centers or online retailers. Search for model WITL 861 (EU) on the Indesit website or use part numbers from the user manual.

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure);
2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

Pure technical line drawing of a mechanical component with no text or symbols

1. clean the inside thoroughly;
2. screw the lid back on;
3. 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 inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

How to clean the detergent dispenser

Disassembly:

Press lightly on the large button on the front of the detergent dispenser and pull it upwards (fig. 1).

Cleaning:

Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an old toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted in the top of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been pulled out, check whether the same are not clogged and then rinse them.

Reassembly:

Do not forget to reinsert the pair of siphons into the special housings and then to replace the dispenser into its seat, clicking it into place (fig. 4, 2 and 1).

! 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 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 knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• 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 touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures.
• Never force the washing machine door: this could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent any accidental openings.
• 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.
• 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.
• Before loading your laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

The European Directive 2012/19/EU 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 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 may take their old appliance to public waste collection areas, other communal collection areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a retailer when purchasing a similar new product.

All major household appliance manufacturers are active in the creation of systems to manage the collection and disposal of old appliances.

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 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.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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 according 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 60^ircC with a temperature of 60^ircC .
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 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 40°C with a temperature of 40°C.
3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 4; with a temperature of 40^irc 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 3 kg.

Cotton Standard 20°C (wash cycle 8) ideal for lightly 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.

Express (wash cycle 12) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (12 at 30^irc C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.

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 (※

GB

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 Maximum spin speed

Cottone 800 rpm

Synthetics 800 rpm

Wool 800 rpm

Silk no

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 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.

Functions

To enable a function:

1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding button is illuminated.

GB

Detergent dispenser

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder)

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the wash cycle start.

! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid exceeding the “max” level indicated.

The softener is added automatically into the machine during the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see page 4. The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.

compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max” level indicated on compartment 4 (see figure).

To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into compartment 4 and set the Rinse programme (for cotton fabrics) and push the button #leaching.

Preparing your laundry

• Divide your laundry according to:
• the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
• the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
  • Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special items

Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 12), make sure the problem can't easily be solved by consulting the following list.
