Frequently Asked Questions - WD 105 T (EX) INDESIT

Why doesn't my washer-dryer start?

Check that the plug is correctly inserted, the door is closed properly, the water supply is turned on, and the on/off button is pressed. Also ensure no delayed start is set. If the issue persists, see the troubleshooting section.

What is the maximum load for washing and drying?

Maximum wash load is 5 kg for cotton and linen. For drying, max load is 4 kg for cotton, 2.5 kg for synthetics, and 1 kg for wool or acrylics. Exceeding these limits may affect performance.

How do I select a drying program?

Use knob C to choose between time-based drying (40-150 minutes) or moisture-based levels: Iron (slightly damp), Wardrobe (dry to put away), Extra Dry (very dry, for towels). The appliance will automatically cool down at the end.

Why is the machine not drying properly?

Check that the water tap is on, the drain hose end is not submerged, the pump filter is not blocked, and the load size is within limits. Also ensure the correct drying program is selected. If the door is hot, it's normal during drying.

How can I remove stains?

Use the stain removal button (H) for an intensive wash. For tough stains, pretreat with a stain remover or use the bleach compartment (accessory). Follow the stain removal guide on page 8 of the manual for specific stains like ink, grass, or lipstick.

What does the 'Easy Iron' function do?

This function reduces creasing by stopping the cycle with the laundry soaked (for synthetic and delicate programs). Press button E to activate; when the cycle stops, press again to complete. It cannot be used with the stain removal function.

How do I clean the detergent dispenser?

Pull the dispenser outward and rinse it under running water for a few minutes. Reinsert it after cleaning. Regular cleaning prevents detergent buildup.

Why is there excessive foam during the wash?

Ensure you are using the correct amount of machine-wash detergent (not hand-wash). Reduce dosage if water is soft. Too much detergent can cause excess foam and damage the appliance.

Can I wash and dry in one cycle?

Yes, for loads up to the maximum drying capacity (e.g., 4 kg for cotton). Select the wash program and then set the drying cycle with knob C. For larger loads, wash first, then remove clothes, divide, and dry in batches.

How do I clean the pump filter?

Unplug the machine and wait for it to empty. Remove the plinth cover at the bottom, place a tray under the pump cover, unscrew the cover counterclockwise, remove any debris, reattach securely. Do this periodically to prevent clogs.

What goes in your washer-dryer?

Before washing, you can do a great deal to ensure better results. Divide your garments according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their guidelines.

Dividing your garments according to fabric and colour is very important for good results.

Before washing.

Divide your washing according to the type of fabric and colour fastness.

Empty all pockets (coins, paper, money and small objects) and ensure all loose buttons are repaired or removed prior to loading.

The labels say it all.

Always look at the labels: they tell you everything about your garment and how to wash it in the best possible way.

The table on page 6 shows all meanings behind these symbols. Their recommendations are important to achieve better wash results.

Big and small happily together.

This washer-dryer has a special electronic control device for even distribution: before the spin cycle starts, this device allows the garments to position themselves, to minimise noise and vibrations during the spin cycle.

Starting the washer-dryer

After installing your new washer-dryer, start a wash cycle by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.

Starting your washer-dryer in the right way is important for the quality of your wash, to help prevent future problems and enhance life expectancy of your appliance. Once you have loaded your washer-dryer and added the detergent together with any fabric conditioner, always check that:

For more delicate garments: protect underwear, tights and stockings and delicate items by placing them in a canvas pouch

1. The door is closed correctly.
2. The plug is secured in the socket.
3. The water supply is turned on.
4. Selector knob A is positioned on one of the symbols ● (Stop/Reset).

Choose the desired programme

The programme is selected according to the type of garments that need to be washed. To choose a programme, refer to the table on page 4. Turn knob A until the selected programme is aligned with the mark on the knob, turn knob B to the desired temperature settings, check that knob C is in the desired position, if necessary use buttons E, F, G, H and lastly, press on/off button I (I position).

Remember that, if you want to use it, the "programmed start" should be set before the wash cycle.

At the end of the wash cycle... Lamp L will flash quickly for a few seconds, then it will begin flashing more slowly.

Then turn the washer-dryer off by pressing the on/off button (O position). You can now open the washer-dryer door safely.

After removing the freshly cleaned laundry, leave the door open to allow air circulation inside the drum.

Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply at the socket and turn off the water supply.

Remember that in the event of a power failure, or if the washer-dryer switches itself off, the selected programme will remain in its memory.

How to remove the most common stains

Ink and ballpoint pen: Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.

Tar: Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine, then wash immediately.

Wax: Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub with cotton dipped in turpentine or methyl alcohol.

Chewing gum: Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.

Mold: Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, 1 part bleach, and a spoonful of vinegar, then washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.

Lipstick: Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use trichloroethylene for silk.

Nail polish: Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the garment as the sheet gradually changes colour.

Grass: Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.

Understanding the control panel

Here I'm in command

Making the right choice is important. And it's easy.

Programme selector knob and programmed start

Use this knob to select the wash programme.

Turn this knob clockwise only. To select a programme, turn the knob so that the symbol/number of the desired programme is in line with the pointer on the knob.

Now press the on/off button I (position I), pilot lamp L will start flashing. After 5 seconds, the setting will be accepted, pilot lamp L will stop flashing (staying lit) and the wash cycle will begin.

Should you wish to interrupt the programme in progress or set a new one, select one of the symbols ● (Stop/Reset) and wait 5 seconds: when the cancellation has been accepted, pilot lamp L flashes, and you can then turn the appliance off.

You can use this knob to delay the appliance's operation.

Select one of the 3 delay time positions, press the on/off button I (position I) and wait 5 seconds. The setting has now been accepted (pilot lamp L stays lit) and you can select the programme you desire. Pilot lamp L has a particular flashing motion (2 seconds on and 4 seconds off) to indicate that a delayed start has been set.

During this phase, you can open the appliance door and change the washing load, should you wish to do so.

After the wash cycle has been set and accepted by the washer-dryer, turning the knob will have no effect (except for when it is on position ● Stop/Reset).

The detergent dispenser with the additional bleach compartment is here.

Temperature control knob

It is used to set the wash temperature in the recommended programme table on page 4. It also allows you to reduce the temperature recommended for the selected programme, and even to set a cold wash cycle (✗).

Drying cycle knob

Use this knob to select the desired drying cycle. 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.

Wardrobe: dry clothes to put away.

Extra dry - very dry clothes, recommended for towelling and bathrobes.

A cooling stage is foreseen at the end of the drying cycle.

Detergent dispenser

It is divided into 3 compartments:

1. Detergent for pre-wash;
2. Detergent for the main cycle wash;
3. Fabric conditioner.

The washer-dryer is equipped with an extra compartment 4 (provided as an accessory) for the bleach, to be inserted in compartment 1.

Easy iron

This function allows your washing to come out of the machine without creases, making it much easier to iron.

You can use it with programmes 3-4 (Cotton), 5-6 (Synthetics) and 9 (Delicates).

Press this button in programmes 5-6-9 and the wash cycle will come to a stop on symbol 📋. You can complete it by pressing button E again.

Notes:

- This function should not be used when button H (stain removal) has been pressed.

- If you also want to run the drying cycle, this button is enabled only if combined with level (Iron).

Slow spin

Use this button to reduce the spinning speed from 1000 to 500 rpm for the cotton and linen programmes and from 850 to 500 rpm for the synthetic fabrics programmes.

Rapid wash

This button reduces the length of the wash programme by about 30%. It cannot be used with special programmes (see page 4) or those for wool and silk.

Stain removal (see page 8)

Thanks to this command, the washer-dryer will carry out a more intensive wash that optimises the effectiveness of the liquid additives, thus allowing more resistant stains to be removed. When you press the stain removal button, you cannot activate the pre-wash.

On-off

When button I is pressed, the washer-dryer is switched on, when it is not the machine is switched off.

Turning the appliance off does not cancel the selected programme.

On-off lamp / door locked

Lamp L flashes slowly when the appliance is switched on and awaiting instructions and at the end of a cycle, indicating that the door can be opened. It flashes quickly when the door should not be opened. A steady light means the appliance has accepted the selected programme.

Drying cycle lamp

When this lamp is on, it means that knob C has been set on a drying cycle and at the end of the wash cycle, the appliance will run the selected tumble drying cycle.

The data found in the table is purely indicative, and can vary according to the quantity and type of washing, the water system temperature and the room temperature.

Special programme

Daily wash Your washer-dryer has a programme available for the washing of lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time. By setting programme 7 at a temperature of 30°C, you can wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and silk), with a maximum load of 3 kg. This programme allows you to save on both time and energy as it only lasts around 30 minutes. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF LIQUID DETERGENT.

How to dry

A combined Washing and Drying Programme

Look at table A to the side and follow the instructions provided for MAX load to have an automatic washing and drying cycle.

Follow the instructions for wash only (see page 2, the paragraph entitled "Starting the Washer-Dryer") and use knob C to set the type of drying cycle desired, then press button I (I position).

If the laundry load to be washed and dried exceeds the maximum load foreseen (see table A), then follow the instructions provided for wash only (see page 2, the paragraph entitled "Starting the Washer-Dryer").

When the wash cycle has finished, remove your washing, divide it up and replace part of it inside the drum.

Now follow the instructions provided for a dry only cycle.

Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.

Dry only

Once you have loaded the washing that needs drying (4 kg max. for cottons, see table for other fabrics), make sure that:

• the door is shut correctly;
• the plug is inserted in the socket;
• the water tap is turned on;
• button I has not been pressed (O position).

And now set the wash cycle knob

Set knob A on the appropriate drying setting ⚙️ depending on the type of fabric, select the type of drying cycle required using knob C and then press on-off button I (I position).

At the end of the drying cycle...

Wait for lamp L to flash slowly, then turn the washer-dryer off by pressing on-off button I (O position). Now you can open the appliance door. Once you have removed the washing from the appliance, leave the door open or ajar to avoid the formation of bad odours and turn off the water tap.

Fabric type	Load type	Max. load (kg)	Drying time (Min.)
			Extra dry	Wardrobe Iron	Iron
Cotton, Linen	Clothing of different sizes	4 150	45 140
Cotton Terry	towels	4 150	45 140
Terital, Cotton	Sheets, Shirts	2,5	100	90 85
Acrylics	Pyjamas, socks, etc.	1	65	60	60
Nylon	Slips, tights, stockings, etc.	1	65	60	60

The data contained in the table are purely indicative.

For cotton loads of less than 1 Kg, use the drying programme designed for synthetic fabrics.

WOOL DRYING CYCLE

The woollen garments drying cycle should only and exclusively be run together with the selection of a specific cycle time (150 - 100 - 60 - 40 minutes). We recommend a 60 minute drying cycle for a 1 kg load.

If one of the three levels (Extra dry, Wardrobe, Iron) is selected by mistake, the appliance will run a drying cycle lasting the MAX time foreseen (150 minutes).

IMPORTANT

A spin cycle is carried out during the drying if you have set a cotton programme and a level of dryness (Extra dry, Wardrobe, Iron).

WARNING

• During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot.
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have been washed with flammable solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene).
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or similar elastomers.
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during the drying cycles.
• This washer-dryer can only be used to dry clothes which have been pre-washed in water.

Understanding labels

Learn the meaning of these symbols and you will get better results, your garments will last longer resulting in an improved wash.

All over Europe, garment labels contain messages expressed in small yet important symbols. Understanding them is very important if you want to get better results and treat your garments the way they deserve to be treated.

These symbols are divided in five different categories and shapes: washing, bleaching, ironing, dry cleaning, and drying.

Useful tips

Turn shirts inside out to get better results and make them last longer.

Always empty pockets of their contents.

Look at the label: it will always give you useful advice.

When loading your washing, try to have a mixture of large to small items.

Make sure you select the right temperature!

Consult and learn the symbols in this table: they will help you obtain a better wash, treat your clothes properly, and get a better performance out of your washer-dryer.

Useful tips

■ Never use your washer-dryer to wash torn, fraying, or non-hemmed linen. If it is absolutely necessary, place it in a bag for protection. Do not wash coloured linen with whites.

■ Watch the weight!

For best results, do not exceed the weight limits stated below (figures show weight of dry garments):

• Resistant fabrics: 5 kg maximum
• Synthetic fabrics: 2.5 kg maximum
• Delicate fabrics: 2 kg maximum
• Pure new wool: 1 kg maximum

How much does it weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 gr. 1 pillow case 150-200 gr. 1 tablecloth 400-500 gr. 1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr. 1 towel 150-250 gr.

Coloured T-shirts, printed ones and shirts last longer if turned inside out before washing.

Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts should always be ironed inside out.

Dungaree alert.

Very popular “salopette” type overalls have straps with hooks that can damage the drum of your washer-dryer or other garments during the wash. To minimise the risk, place hooks in the pocket and fasten with safety pins.

■ Holidays: unplug the appliance.

It is recommended that you should unplug the machine from the socket and turn off the water supply. Leave the door ajar to allow air circulation to the draw and the door gasket area. This will prevent unpleasant odours.

WOOL CYCLE

For best results, we recommend you use a specific detergent, taking care not to wash more than 1 kg of laundry.

How to wash almost anything

Curtains.

Curtains tend to crease a great deal. A useful tip to reduce creasing: fold the curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Do not load anything else inside the appliance, this will ensure that the overall weight does not exceed the half load. Remember to use the specific programme 9 which automatically excludes the spin cycle.

■ Quilted coats and anorak.

You can wash quilted coats and wind-cheaters, too, if they are padded with goose or duck down. Do not load more than 2-3 kg and never load 5 kg. Repeat rinse once or twice using the gentle spin.

Trainers.

Once you have removed mud and dirt from trainers, you can even wash them with jeans or any other tough garments. Do not wash trainers with whites.

It's important for a good wash

Useful tips about the detergent dispenser

The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is opened by pulling it outwards.

You must follow the dosage recommendations provided by the manufacturers when adding detergent or fabric conditioner. Doses will vary according to the wash load, the water hardness and how soiled the washing is. Experience will help you select the right dosage almost automatically: it will become your secret.

Before adding detergent for pre-washing in compartment 1, make sure that the extra compartment for bleach 4 has not been inserted.

Ensure no overfilling when adding fabric conditioner in compartment 3.

The washer-dryer automatically adds the softener to the wash in each programme.

Liquid detergent is poured into compartment 2 just a few seconds before starting the wash cycle.

Remember that liquid detergent is only designed for wash cycles of up to 60 degrees on non pre-wash items.

Special containers are sold with liquid or powder detergents for placing inside the washer-dryer drum, these are positioned according to the instructions found in the detergent box

Never use hand wash detergent, because it may form too much foam, which could damage the washer-dryer.

Detergents that are specifically formulated for both hand and machine wash are an exception.

One last secret: when washing with cold water, always reduce the amount of detergent you use: it dissolves less easily in cold water than in hot water, so part of it would be wasted.

The detergent dispenser can be removed and cleaned: pull it outwards, as indicated in the figure. Then leave it under running water for a few minutes.

In compartment 1:

Detergent for pre-washing (powder)

In compartment 2:

Detergent for washing

(powder or liquid)

In compartment 3:

Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)

In compartment 4:

Bleach and delicate bleach.

Bleach cycle and stain removal button

If bleaching is necessary, the extra case 4 (provided) must be inserted into compartment 1 of the detergent dispenser.

When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level indicated on the central pivot (see illustration).

The use of the additional bleach container excludes the possibility of using the pre-wash cycle. Traditional bleach can only be used on sturdy white fabrics, whereas delicate bleach can be used for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

You cannot bleach with the "Silk" programme and with the "special programmes" (see page 4).

Use the stain removal button every time you want to bleach. Should you want to do it separately you must pour the bleach into the additional container 4, press button H (stain removal), start the washer-dryer, then select one of the symbols 🎨 according to the type of fabric.

When you bleach during a normal wash cycle, pour the detergent and any additives into the special compartments, press button H (stain removal), set the desired programme, and turn on the washer-dryer.

Cutting costs efficiently

A guide to environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE

Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent, and time by using the recommended maximum load size.

SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of two half loads.

DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?

For heavily soiled laundry only!

SAVE detergent, time, water, and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slightly to normally soiled laundry.

IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried-in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.

SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

BEFORE USING A DRYING PROGRAMME ...

SAVE energy and time by selecting the highest suitable spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Troubleshooting

Before calling, read the following

In most cases, when your washer-dryer fails to work, the problems arising can be easily solved without having to call for a technician. Before calling for assistance, always check these points.

The washer-dryer fails to start.

Is the plug correctly inserted into the socket? It could have been moved whilst cleaning. Is there electricity in the house?

A circuit breaker may have switched off as a result of too many electrical appliances working at the same time. Or maybe due to a general failure in your entire area.

Is the washer-dryer door closed properly?

For safety reasons, the washer-dryer cannot work if

the door is open or not shut properly.

Is the On/Off button pressed? If it is, then a programmed start has been set. Is the programmed start knob, in the correct position for those models concerned? Is the water supply turned on? For safety reasons, if the washer-dryer does not load water, it cannot start a wash cycle.

RIGHT

WRONG

Turn off the water supply after use. This will eliminate the possibility of leakage.

Always leave the appliance door ajar to avoid bad odours.

Clean the appliance's exteriors gently. To clean the exteriors and the rubber parts of the appliance, always use a soft cloth dipped in warm and soapy water.

Leave the washer-dryer plugged in while cleaning. Even during maintenance, the appliance should always be unplugged.

Use solvents and aggressive abrasives. Never use solvents or abrasives to clean the external and rubber parts of the washer-dryer.

Neglect the detergent dispenser. It is removable and can easily be cleaned by leaving it under running water.

Go on holiday without thinking about her. Before leaving, always make sure that the washer-dryer is unplugged and that the water supply is turned off.

But where did all the water go?

Simple: with the new Indesit technology, you need less than half of it, to get good results on twice as much! This is why you cannot see the water through the door: because there is little, very little of it, to respect the environment yet without renouncing maximum cleanliness. And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.

The washer-dryer fails to fill with water.

Is the hose correctly connected to the tap? Is there a water shortage? There could be work in progress in your building or street. Is there sufficient water pressure? The autoclave may be malfunctioning. Is the tap filter clean? If the water is very calcareous, or if work has recently been carried out on the water piping, the tap filter could be clogged with particles and debris. Is the rubber hose kinked? The tract of the rubber hose bringing water to washer-dryer must be as straight as possible. Make sure it is not squashed or kinked.

The programme selector knob keeps turning?

■ Wait a few minutes for the drain pump to empty the tub, switch the washer-dryer

off, select one of the symbols stop/reset ●, then switch it back on. If the knob continues to turn, call for assistance because it is showing an anomaly.

The washer-dryer continuously fills and drains water.

Is the drain hose positioned too low? It must be installed at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm. Is the end of the hose immersed in water? Does the wall drainage system have a breather pipe? If the problem persists even after these checks, turn the water supply off the machine and call for assistance.

If you live on an upper floor of your building, there may be a problem with your drain trap.

To solve this problem, a special valve must be installed.

The washer-dryer does not drain or spin.

Does the selected programme incorporate water draining? Some programmes stop at the end of the wash cycles and draining will have to be selected manually. Is the "Easy iron" function - where provided - enabled? This function requires manual selection for draining. Is the drain pump clogged? To check it, turn off the water supply, unplug the washer-dryer and follow the instructions on page 12, or call for technical assistance.

Always get assistance from authorised technicians and always insist on original spare parts.

Is the drain hose kinked? The tract of the drain hose must be as straight as possible. Make sure the drain hose is not squashed or kinked. Is the washer-dryer's drain duct clogged? Is there an extension of the drain hose? If so, is it positioned incorrectly, blocking the water flow?

Excessive vibration during the spin cycle.

■ Have all transit screws been removed during installation? See the following page on installation procedures. Has the washer-dryer been levelled correctly? The levelling of the appliance should be checked periodically. Adjust the feet and check them with a level.

Is there space between the machine and adjacent units? If it is not a built-in model, the washer-dryer will oscillate a bit during the spin cycle. A few cm of space should therefore be left around it.

The washer-dryer leaks.

Is the metal ring of the inlet hose properly attached? Turn off the water supply, unplug the appliance and try tightening its attachment without forcing it. Is the detergent dispenser obstructed? Remove and wash it under tap water. Is the drain hose well attached? Turn off the water supply, unplug the appliance and try tightening its attachment.

Too much foam.

Is the detergent appropriate for machine washing? Check whether the definition on its label reads "for machine wash" or "hand and machine wash", or any other similar wording. Is the correct amount being used? An excessive amount of detergent, besides producing too much foam, does not guarantee a more effective wash, and causes scaling in the internal parts of the appliance.

The washer-dryer does not dry.

Check whether:

the plug has been correctly inserted into the socket; there is electricity in your home; the appliance door has been shut properly; a delayed start (if available) has not been selected; programme knob A has been set to position ● (Stop/Reset); the drying cycle knob C has been set to position 0.

The washer-dryer doesn't dry properly.

Check whether:

The end of the drain hose is underwater; the drain pump is obstructed; the advice given on the maximum loads has been taken; the water tap has been turned on.

If, despite all checks, the washer-dryer fails to function and the problem persists, call your nearest authorized Customer Service Centre, providing the following information:

- The nature of the malfunction - The model type no. (Mod. ....) - The serial number (S/N ....) This information can be found on the data plate situated at the back of the washer-dryer.

Installation and removal

When the new washer-dryer arrives

Whether new or just transported to a new house, installation is extremely important for the correct functioning of your washer-dryer.

After removing the appliance from its packaging, check that it is intact. If in doubt, contact a qualified technician immediately. The inside of the machine is supported, for transportation, by four screws on the back panel.

Before using the washer-dryer, remove the screws, remove the spacers together with the rubber tubes attached to them (keeping all the parts) and use the plastic plugs provided to fill in the holes. Important: Use the cap (provided) to close the 3 holes which housed the stop pin, situated in the right-hand part of the lower back of the washer-dryer.

Levelling

The washer-dryer must be levelled appropriately in order to guarantee its correct functioning. To level the appliance, the front feet must be adjusted; the angle of inclination, measured according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. When placed on carpet, make sure the ventilation is not reduced.

The front feet are adjustable.

Retain the transit screws, spacers and washers. Should you move house then these should be replaced to support the inside of the machine to prevent damage when transporting the machine.

Connection to the water mains

Water pressure must range within the values indicated on the data plate on the rear of your washer-dryer. If the water pipes are new or left unused, then before connecting the machine run the water until clear to remove debris. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap having a 3/4" BSP thread. Ensure that the rubber sealing washers are fitted at each end of the inlet hose, with the fitted washer at the tap end.

Connect the inlet hose to the threaded connector on the machine rear.

Connecting the drain hose

There are two hooks (right or left) on the rear of your washer-dryer to which the drain hose is to be fixed. Insert the other end in a stand pipe or place it on the edge of a sink or tub avoiding excessive kinks and bending. It should be placed at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm. If it is necessary to fix the end of the hose at a height below 60 cm from the ground, it must be fixed in the appropriate hook placed on the upper part of the back panel.

The hook to be used in case the drain hose ends at a height below 60 cm.

If the drain hose empties into a tub or sink, fit the plastic guide and secure it to the tap.

The guide for draining into tubs and sinks.

The end of the drain hose must be positioned so that it cannot become submerged.

Extensions are unadvisable. In case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm. In case of wall draining pipes, their efficiency must be checked by a qualified technician. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washer-dryer to load and unload water continuously.

In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.

Electric connection

Before connecting the appliance to the electric socket, be sure that:

1) the electric socket is able to sustain the appliance's maximum power load indicated on the data plate and in compliance with the law; 2) the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the data plate; 3) the socket is compatible with the appliance's plug. If not, do not use adapters, but replace either the socket or the plug; 4) electric household appliances must be equipped with an "earthing" system.

Warning!

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

Plastic bags, expanded styrofoam, nails and other packaging parts are not children's toys, and are potentially dangerous.

Easy Care and Maintenance

Treat your machine well and it will provide many years of trouble-free service.

Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.

Your washer-dryer is designed to provide reliable service over many years. A few simple steps will help to prolong its life and avoid problems. It is advisable to turn off water taps when the machine is not to be used; this protects the hoses, etc.

If the water in your area is too hard, use a deliming product (water is hard if it often leaves whitish stains around taps or drains, especially of bath tubs).

For more accurate information as to the type of water in your system, call the local water works or a local plumber.

Pockets must always be emptied, removing even pins, badges and any other hard objects.

The washer-dryer exterior should be cleaned with a rag dipped in lukewarm water and soap.

It is important to wash the detergent dispenser regularly.

To prevent dried washing powder from

accumulating, place the dispenser under running water for a few minutes.

Never exaggerate with doses.

Normal detergents already contain deliming agents. Only if the water is particularly hard, that is, rich in lime content, do we recommend the use of a specific product at every wash. A periodical wash cycle with a dose of a deliming product, without detergents or washing, may prove useful.

Never use too much detergent or additives because this could cause an excess amount of foam, scaling and possible damage to the component parts of your washer-dryer.

Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can cause damage to your washer-dryer.

When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.

The washer-dryer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.

Attention: Before attempting to examine this pre-chamber, first ensure that the machine has finished its programme and is empty. Unplug the machine, as with any maintenance.

To gain access gently ease down the top of the plinth panel situated at the base of the machine, with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catch the small amount of water present. Release the cover by turning anticlockwise (Fig. 2). Ensure that the cover is securely replaced. Re-fit the plinth cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge into the slots and ease the top edge back into position.

The water inlet hose

Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washer-dryer, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.

Important for the safe use of your washer-dryer

Your safety and that of

your family

Your washer-dryer has been built in compliance with the strictest international safety regulations. To protect you and all your family.

Read these instructions and all the information in this manual carefully: they are an important source, not only of numerous useful tips, but also of vital information on safety, use and maintenance.

1. The machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even when a roof shelters the area, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.
2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively for washing clothes following the instructions provided in this manual.
3. 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.
4. Before loading the washer-dryer, make sure the drum is empty.
5. Never touch the washer-dryer when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.
6. Never use extensions or multiple plugs, which are particularly dangerous in humid environments. The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.

I only want an authorised specialised technician with original Indesit spare parts!

1. Never open the detergent dispenser while the appliance is functioning; do not use hand wash detergent because the abundance of foam could damage its internal parts.

1. Never pull on the supply cable or the washer-dryer to disconnect it from the wall socket: it is extremely dangerous.
2. While the appliance is functioning, do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures. The appliance door, during wash cycles, tends to become hot; ensure that children do no touch it. Never force the washer-dryer door because this could damage the safety lock which prevents accidental opening when the machine is working. Allow a few minutes at the end of the program for the lock to release.
3. In case of malfunctioning, first close the water tap and unplug the appliance from the wall socket; do not under any circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs.

How to change the power supply cable

The power supply cable must only be replaced by one of our authorised Service Engineers.
