Frequently Asked Questions - WITXL 125 (EE) INDESIT

How do I clean the drain filter on my Indesit WITXL 125?

To clean the drain filter, first unplug the machine. Open the lower front panel (use a coin to turn the slot). Place a towel to catch water, then unscrew the filter counterclockwise. Remove any debris and rinse the filter. Screw it back and close the panel.

What should I do if the washing machine does not drain water?

Check if the drain hose is kinked or clogged. Also clean the drain filter as described. If problem persists, the drain pump might be faulty; contact a technician.

Why won't my Indesit washing machine start?

Ensure the door is fully closed and the child lock is off. Check that the water supply is turned on and the plug is connected. Also verify the program selector is in a valid position. If still not starting, try a reset: unplug for 1 minute and plug back in.

How do I use the delay timer feature?

Select your desired program, then press the 'Delay' button repeatedly to set the delay in hours (up to 24). The machine will start automatically so that it finishes at the set time. Close the door and press Start/Pause.

How do I remove and clean the detergent drawer?

Pull the drawer out until it stops, then press the release lever (usually a tab at the back) and pull it out completely. Rinse under warm water to remove detergent residue. Use a brush to clean the compartment inside the machine. Reinsert the drawer fully.

Why is my washing machine vibrating excessively?

Make sure the machine is level by adjusting the feet. Remove any shipping bolts (if still present). Distribute the laundry evenly in the drum. Avoid washing heavy items like blankets alone; mix with smaller items.

How do I install the washing machine correctly?

Remove all packaging and shipping bolts (4 bolts at the back). Place the machine on a firm level surface. Connect the water inlet hose to a tap (use the supplied hose). Attach the drain hose to a standpipe or sink drain. Plug into a grounded outlet. Level the feet using a spirit level.

How can I run a drum cleaning cycle?

Select a cotton cycle at 90°C without laundry. Add a cup of white vinegar or a commercial washing machine cleaner to the detergent drawer. Run the cycle. Repeat monthly to prevent mold and odors.

What do error codes like 'F01' or 'F05' mean on my Indesit?

Error F01 usually indicates a motor or control board fault. F05 means a draining problem. Refer to your manual for a full list. For most errors, a reset (unplug 1 min) may help. If persistent, call service.

How do I reset my Indesit washing machine?

Turn the program selector to the 'Off' position. Unplug the machine from the power socket. Wait about 1 minute. Plug it back in. Select a program and press Start/Pause. This clears temporary faults.

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. 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. ! 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 four 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.

Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure you fasten the shorter ones at the top.

Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

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°.

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.

Putting your appliance in place and moving it.

If your washing machine is equipped with a special set of retractable wheels you can easily move it. To lower the wheels and thus move the appliance effortlessly, just pull the lever, situated on the left-hand side beneath the base. Once the appliance is in the required position,

put the lever back in place. The washing machine is now firmly in place (see figure).

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see figure). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

1. 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).
2. 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. ! Never use hoses that have already been used.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

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 indicated 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.

! 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.

The first wash cycle

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

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.

Notes

- For programmes 8 and 9, we advise against exceeding a wash load of 3.5 kg. - For programme 13 we advise against exceeding a wash load of 2 kg. - For the anti-crease function: see Easy iron, opposite page. The information contained in the table is purely indicative.

Special programme

Daily Refresh (programme 11 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 (11 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 on page 6).

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 selected programme.

The maximum spin speeds for each programme are as follows:

Programmes Maximum spin speed

Cottone 1200 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.

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 10. 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 bleaching.

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 weight limits stated below, which refer to the weight when dry:

Sturdy fabrics: max 6 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg

Wool: max 1 kg

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

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 7 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 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.

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

! 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 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 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 (see page 7) 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.

GB

Cutting off the water or electricity supply

• 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 raising it and pulling it out (see figure). 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 prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

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 recover any objects that have fallen into the pre-chamber:

1. remove the plinth at the bottom on the front side of the washing machine by pulling from the side with your hands (see figure);
2. Unscrew the lid by rotating it counterclockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

1. Clean the interior 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 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.

Disassembly:

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

How to clean the detergent dispenser

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.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Fig. 3

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).
