Installation 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.

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

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, compen- sate 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. Electric and water connections Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Insert seal A into the

end of the inlet hose and screw the latter onto a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas threaded mouth (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.

ServiceTroubleshootingPrecautions CareProgrammes DetergentsInstallation Description 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 (see page 5); the supply voltage is included within the values i ndicated on the Technical details table (see page 5); the socket is compatible with the washing machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug. Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before using the appliance please read the instructions below. WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE

CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Replacing the fuse: When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers: If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot. Removing the plug: If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please ensure that either: the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re- wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval. or: the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance. Disposing of the plug: Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket. Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug: Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green & Yellow Earth Blue Neutral Brown Live As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifyng the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E

or coloured Green or Green & Yellow. Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured Red. Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black.

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board. If you are in any doubt the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use. How to connect an alternative plug: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE NEUTRAL (N) BROWN LIVE (L) GREEN & YELLOW EARTH (E) Disposing of the appliance: When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body and dispose of it as described above. 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.

To run the draining cycle alone, set the knob to the relative symbol and press the START/PAUSE button.10

Detergent dispenser Good washing results also depend on the correctdose of detergent: adding too much detergent won'tnecessarily make for a more efficient wash, and mayin fact cause build up on the interior of yourappliance and even pollute the environment.Open up the detergentdispenser and pour inthe detergent and fabricsoftener, 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 inimmediately prior to the wash cycle start.compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid. Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam. Preparing your laundry Divide your laundry according to:- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.- the colours: separate coloured garments fromwhites. 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 5 kgSynthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kgDelicate fabrics: max 2 kgWool: max 1 kgHow much does your laundry weigh?1 sheet 400-500 g1 pillow case 150-200 g1 tablecloth 400-500 g1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g1 towel 150-250 g Special items Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillowcase or mesh bag.

Turn the garments inside out andload a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycleonce or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washedtogether with jeans and other tough garments, butnot with whites.Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg. Detergents and laundry

Precautions and advice ServiceTroubleshootingPrecautions CareProgrammes DetergentsInstallation Description 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 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. 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. 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 washing machine, make sure the drum is empty. Disposal Disposing of the packaging material: observe local regulations, so the packaging can be re-used. Disposing of an old washing machine: before scrapping your appliance, cut the power supply cable and remove the appliance door. 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. 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. 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.12

Care and maintenance 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 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 access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel on the lower front of the washing machine (see figure);

rotating it anti- clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

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.13

Troubleshooting ServiceTroubleshootingPrecautions CareProgrammes DetergentsInstallation Description Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 14), make sure the problem can't easily be solved by consulting the following list. Problem The washing machine won't start. The wash cycle won't start. The washing machine fails to load water. The washing machine continuously loads and unloads water. The washing machine does not drain or spin. The washing machine vibrates too much during the spin cycle. The washing machine leaks. The DOOR LOCK Led flashes rapidly at the same time as at least one other LED. There is too much foam. Possible causes/Solution: The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact. There has been a power failure. The appliance door is not shut properly. The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. The water tap is not turned on. 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/PAUSE button has not been pressed. The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm 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 programme does not foresee the draining: some programmes require enabling the draining manually (see page 8). The Anti-crease function is enabled: to complete the programme, press the START/PAUSE button (see page 9). The drain hose is bent (see page 3). The drain duct is clogged. 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 water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see page 2). The detergent dispenser is obstructed (to clean it, see page 12). The drain hose is not secured properly (see page 3). Call for Assistance because this means there is an abnormality. 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.14

Before calling for Assistance: Check whether you can solve the problem on your own (see page 13); Restart the programme to check whether the problem has been solved; If this is not the case, contact an authorised Technical Service Centre on the telephone number provided on the guarantee certificate. Always request the assistance of authorised servicemen. Notify the operator of: the type of problem; the appliance model (Mod.); the serial number (S/N). This information can be found on the data plate situated on the rear of the washing machine. Service Serviceﻲﺑﺮﻋ لﺎﻤﻌﺘﺳ ﻻا ﻞﺟأ ﻦﻣ تﺎﻤﻴﻠﻌﺗ
