Frequently Asked Questions - WIDXXL 146 (EU) INDESIT

How do I remove the transit bolts?

The machine has two transit bolts on the rear panel. Use a 13mm spanner to unscrew each until 3 threads are visible. Then hold the bolt, slide it sideways and pull out. Insert the supplied plastic covers over the holes. Failure to remove them may cause damage.

How do I level the washing machine?

Turn one or both front feet anti-clockwise by hand until they cannot turn further. Use a spirit level to check the machine is level from side to side and front to back. The spring on each foot prevents loosening.

How to connect the water inlet hose?

Attach the hose with the blue cap to the cold water tap. Ensure the seal is inside the end cap. Tighten the tap and check for leaks. The water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1 MPa. Avoid kinks in the hose.

What is the maximum load for washing and drying?

The maximum wash load is 7 kg. For drying, the maximum load is 5 kg for cotton and 2.5 kg for synthetics. For delicate fabrics, do not exceed 2 kg. Overloading may reduce performance.

How do I set a delayed start?

Press the Delay Timer button repeatedly to set a delay from 1 to 9 hours. The corresponding LED will flash. Once the programme starts, the delay can only be decreased. After the delay, the programme begins automatically.

How to use the drying function?

Turn the DRYING knob to select either a timed drying (40-150 minutes) or a sensor drying level: Iron (slightly damp), Hanger (dry to hang), Cupboard (very dry). A 20-minute cooling phase follows each drying cycle.

What does the Door Lock LED indicate?

When the LED is steady, the door is locked. When it flashes, the door can be opened. Rapid flashing with other LEDs indicates a fault; call for assistance.

How do I clean the detergent dispenser?

Pull the drawer out until it stops, press the release button to remove it completely. Clean the drawer, syphons, grate, and fabric conditioner channel with water. Dry and reinsert firmly. Do not clean while the machine is running.

What should I do if the machine vibrates excessively?

Check that the transit bolts are removed, the machine is level, and it is not cramped against walls or cabinets. If needed, adjust the feet. Ensure the floor is stable.

The machine won't start. What can I check?

Ensure the appliance is plugged in, the door is closed, the water tap is on, and the START/RESET button is pressed for two seconds. Also check if a delayed start is set. If the Door Lock LED flashes rapidly with others, call for assistance.

Notes

• For Programme 8, we advise against exceeding a wash load of 3.5 kg.
• For Programmes 10 and 13, we advise against exceeding a wash load of 2 kg.
• For the anti-crease option: see Easy Iron (opposite page). The information contained in the table is purely indicative.

Special programme

Daily (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.

* To select a lower temperature (60° or 40°), the temperature reduction rotary is to be used.

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 cold wash (✗).

Setting the drying cycle

Turn the DRYING knob to set the desired drying type.

Two options are available:

A - Based on time: From 40 minutes to 150.

B - Based on the damp level of the dry clothes:

Iron ⚡: slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.

Hanger 🙏: dry clothes to put away.

Cupboard 📋: very dry clothes, recommended for towelling and bathrobes.

A cooling stage of 20 minutes is carried out at the end of the drying cycle.

If your laundry load to wash and dry is in excess of the maximum drying capacity (see table opposite), perform the wash cycle, and when the programme is complete, divide up the garments and put part of them back in the drum. Now follow the instructions provided for a dry only dry only Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.

Dry onlyDry only

Turn the PROGRAMME knob to one of the drying settings (7-8) depending on the type of fabric, then select the desired drying type using the DRYING knob.

Important: Importance is carried out during the drying if you have set a cotton programmecotton program level of dryness (Cupboard 📋, Hanger 🌐, Iron ) - For cotton loads of less than 1 kg, use the drying programme designed for delicate fabrics.

Adding fabric conditioner

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

Pre-wash (Programme 1)(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.

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. 7kg
  Synthetic fabrics : max. 3kg
  Delicate fabrics : max. 2kg
  Wool : max. 1kg

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

! 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. The Delay Timer option (see page 7) helps to organise your wash cycles accordingly.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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)
