! 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.

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Unpacking - 1

  1. Remove the four protective screws and the rubber washer with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see figure).
  2. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
  3. 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.

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Levelling - 1

  1. 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.

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Putting your appliance in place and moving it. - 1

If your washing machine is equipped with a special set of retractable wheels you can easy 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

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Connecting the water inlet hose - 1

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

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Connecting the water inlet hose - 2

  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

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Connecting the drain hose - 1

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100cm from the floor;

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Connecting the drain hose - 2

alternatively, rest it on the side of a washbasin or bathtub, 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; if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket, make sure that:

  • the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable laws;
  • the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
  • the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
  • the socket is compatible with the plug of the washing machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

! The washing machine must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather conditions.

When the washing machine has been installed, the electricity socket must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
The power supply cable must only be replaced by authorised technicians.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these regulations 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^ programme without a pre-wash cycle.

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:

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Cleaning the pump - 1

  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;

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Cleaning the pump - 2

  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 rein-sert 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).

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^ . The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

For all Test Institutes:

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40^ .
3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 6; with a temperature of 40^ .

Wash options

EcoTime

Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly soiled cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the "Table of wash cycles"). 'Echines you to wash in less time thereby saving water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity.

It cannot be used with the 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, programmes.

Energy Saver

The Eneron action saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry - an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

It cannot be used with the 1, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14.

,programmes.

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Energy Saver - 1

Extra rinse

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

It cannot be used in conjunction with the 11, programmes.

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Extra rinse - 1

Easy iron

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum; the indicator lights for the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE options will flash (the first one green, the second orange). To end the cycle, press the START/ PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

For the 9 wash cycles, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the EASY IRON and START/ PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.

! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 11, 12, 13, 14,

Detergents and laundry

GB

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.

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

INDESIT IWTE 51251 ECO - Detergent dispenser drawer - 1

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. The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.

compartment 4: do not pour detergent into this compartment.

Preparing the laundry

  • Divide the laundry according to:
  • the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
  • the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
  • Empty all garment pockets and check the 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 - 200g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Cotton Standard 20^ (wash cycle 7) ideal for heavily 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.

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 8, even those carrying the "hand-wash only" label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1 kg of laundry.

Silk: use special wash cycle 9 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 9.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 10.

Express: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (11 at 30^ ), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1,5 kg.

Sport Intensive (wash cycle 12): is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the "Table of wash cycles".

Sport Light (wash cycle 13): is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the "Table of wash cycles". We recommend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.

Special Shoes (wash cycle 14): is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see "Assistance"), make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The washing machine does not switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washing machine does not take in water ("H2O" will flash on the display).

The washing machine continuously takes in and drains water.

The washing machine does not drain or spin.

The washing machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

The washing machine leaks.

The "option" indicator lights and the "start/pause" indicator light flash and an error code appears on the display (e.g.: F-01, F-..).

There is too much foam.

Possible causes / Solutions:

  • The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.
  • There is no power in the house.
  • The washing machine door is not closed properly.
  • The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
  • The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
    The water tap has not been opened.
  • A delayed start has been set.

  • The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
    The hose is bent.
    The water tap has not been opened.

  • There is no water supply in the house.
    The pressure is too low.
  • The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

  • The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100cm from the floor (see "Installation").

  • The free end of the hose is under water (see "Installation").
  • The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.

  • The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually.
  • The "Easy iron" option has been activated: To complete the wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button (see "Wash cycles and options").
  • The drain hose is bent (see "Installation").
    The drainage duct is clogged.

  • The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see "Installation").

  • The washing machine is not level (see "Installation").
  • The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see "Installation").

  • The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see "Installation").

  • The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see "Care and maintenance").
  • The drain hose is not fixed properly (see "Installation").

  • Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it back on again.

If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

  • The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text "for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash", or the like).
  • Too much detergent was used.
