  • Take care not to trap or kink the hoses.
  • Turn one or both front feet anti-clockwise by hand until the feet cannot be turned any more. When adjusting the feet, use a spirit level to check the machine stands level, from side to side

and from front to back.

  • The spring on each foot will stop them coming loose. ! 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 machine.

Water connection

Connecting the water inlet hose.

Remember that this is a cold-fill machine.

! Check that seal is in place inside the hose end cap.

Before making the water connections to the 3/4" gas thread, allow the water to run freely from the supply tap until it is perfectly clear.

Line drawing of a hand holding a mechanical component (no text or symbols)

Screw the inlet end with the blue cap onto the cold water supply tap.

Turn the taps on and check for leaks: tighten if necessary.

! 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 (next page). ! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman. ! Always use new hoses. ! Check the water hose at least once a year, replace any that are cracked as worn hoses could split under water pressure.

Drainage connections

A 65 100 B

A. Connect the drain hose, without kinking it, to a draining duct or a wall drain fixed at a height between 65 and 100cm from the floor.

B. Alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the hose supplied to the tap.

The free end of the hose should not be under water.

! 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 150cm in length.

Electrical connections

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 indicated in 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 and should be connected to a suitable electrical supply.

! 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.

! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle without detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C programme without a pre-wash cycle.

Detergent dispenser

! Do not put any items into the drawer, other than detergents designed to be released from the drawer, as they may cause damage or blockage.

Interior view of a computer case with numbered compartments (1, 2, 3) and no visible text or symbols

  1. Pre-wash detergent compartment. Maximum 200 ml powder or 100 ml liquid
  2. Main wash detergent compartment. Maximum 400 ml powder or 200 ml liquid
  3. Fabric conditioner compartment. Maximum 120 ml.

Dispensing powder detergent

To achieve the best wash results the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent should be measured and added to the main detergent compartment.

Dispensing liquid detergent

We recommend the use of a detergent dosing ball, as provided by your detergent manufacturer.

Adding fabric conditioner

Pour the recommended amount of fabric conditioner into the compartment. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

Pre-wash (Programme 1)

When selecting programme 1, add detergent to both the pre-wash and the main wash compartment.

! Do not use in drum dosing devices with pre-wash programme 1.

Maximum load size

  • 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 weight limits stated below, which refer to the weight when dry: Sturdy fabrics: max. 7kg; Synthetic fabrics: max. 3kg; Delicate fabrics: max. 2kg; Wool: max. 1kg

! DO NOT overload the machine as this could result in reduced performance.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500g 1 pillow case 150-200g 1 tablecloth 400-500g 1 bathrobe 900-1200g 1 towel 150-250g

The 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 machine should only be used by adults and in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.
  • Never touch the 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.
  • Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures.
  • Never force the machine door: this could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent 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.
  • 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.
  • Before loading your laundry into the machine, make sure the drum is empty.

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 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 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 machine between late in the afternoon and the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.
  • 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.

Disposal

  • Disposing of the packaging material: observe local regulations, so the packaging can be re-used.
  • Disposing of an old machine: before scrapping your appliance, cut the power supply cable and remove the appliance door.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), 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.

INDESIT WIXXL 146 (EU) - Disposal of old electrical appliances - 1

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.

Switching off the electricity

  • 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

Cleaning the exterior

Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior surfaces of the appliance.

Cleaning the door bowl

Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly with a soft cloth. A build-up of soap powder and water hardness residue may result in water leaking from the door.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer and compartments

It is advisable to clean the dispenser drawer regularly.

! Do not try to clean any part of the dispenser drawer while the machine is running.

Close-up of a hand holding a small object, possibly a tool or device, with no visible text or symbols.

  1. Pull out the drawer until it reaches its stop.
  2. Press the drawer release button to remove the dispenser drawer (see figure).

Close-up of a mechanical component with no visible text or symbols

  1. Clean and dry the dispenser drawer, syphons, grate and fabric conditioner exit channel (A). Also regularly clean the outlet pipe area (B).

Close-up of a white plastic door handle with visible internal components and mounting holes (no text or symbols)

  1. Relocate the dispenser drawer and push it firmly back into place.

! Do not clean any part of the machine with abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, any bleach or metal polish as they may cause damage.

Caring for your appliance door and drum

- Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require regular maintenance. However, it may be that small objects (coins, buttons, etc.) fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump (the pump is located in the lower part of this pre-chamber).

! Make sure that the wash cycle has finished and remove the plug from the socket.

To access the pre-chamber:

Simple line drawing of a mechanical component with a lever and arrow (no text or symbols)

  1. remove the covering panel on the front of the washing machine using a screwdriver (see figure).

Simple line drawing of a door with a circular vent (no text or symbols)

  1. unscrew the cover, turning it in an anticlockwise direction (see figure). a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal.
  2. Clean the inside thoroughly.
  3. Screw the cover back on.
  4. Replace the cover panel, making sure that the hooks are positioned in the right slots before pushing the panel towards the machine.

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, high water pressure could cause a cracked hose to split open.

! Never use hoses that have already been used.

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:

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.The (1) button has not been pressed.The START/RESET button has not been pressed.The water tap is not turned on.A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Timer. see page 7)
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.The START/RESET button has not been pressed.
The washing machine continuously loads and unloads water.The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100cm from the floor (see page 3).The free end of the hose is underwater (see page 3).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 programme does not foresee the draining. Some programmes require enabling the draining manually (see page 6).The Easy Iron option is enabled: to complete the programme, press the START/RESET button (see page 7).The drain hose is bent (see page 3).The drain duct is clogged.
The washing machine vibrates too much during the spin cycle.The drum was not unblocked correctly during installation (see page 2).The washing machine is not level (see page 2).The washing machine is closed in between furniture cabinets and the wall (see page 2).
The washing machine leaks.The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see page 2).The detergent dispenser is obstructed, (to clean it see page 10).The drain hose is not secured properly (see page 3).
The ON-OFF/DOOR LOCK LED flashes rapidly at the same time as at least one other LED.Call for Assistance because this means there is an abnormality.
There is too much foam.The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear the definition “for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like.)You used too much detergent.

Before calling for Assistance:

  • Use the troubleshooting guide to see if you can solve the problem yourself (see Troubleshooting).
  • If not, turn off the appliance and call the Service Centre closest to you.

What to tell the Service Centre:

  • name, address and post code.
  • telephone number. • the type of problem. • the date of purchase. • the appliance model (Mod.). • the serial number (S/N). This information can be found on the data label inside the door of the machine.
