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.  
The drain hose may  
be connected to  
an under-sink trap.  
Before connecting  
the drain hose from  
the machine ensure  
that any blanks or  
removable ends have  
been taken off the  
spigot.

BECARRIEDOUTBYAQUALIFIEDELECTRICIAN.  
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.  
Where it connects to  
the waste water pipe  
cut end off spigot or  
remove the blanking cap  
Replacement fuse covers:  
If it is place over  
the edge of a basin  
or sink be sure the  
free end of the hose  
should not be under-  
water.  
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  
obtaineddirectlyfromyournearestServiceDepot.  
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 en-  
sure that either:  
!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.  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere  
re-wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of  
approval.  
or:  
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a  
standpipe, that the end does not go down more  
than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed  
down too far, this may cause the machine to  
self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.  
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:  
Electric connection  
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself,  
you make the pins unusable so that it cannot  
be accidentally inserted into a socket.  
Before plugging the appliance into the mains  
socket, make sure that:

Instructions for the fitter  
GB  
Mounting the wooden panel onto the door  
and inserting the machine into cabinets:  
In the case where the machine must be shipped  
for final installation after the wooden panel has  
been mounted, we suggest leaving it in its ori-  
ginal packaging. The packaging was designed  
to make it possible to mount the wooden panel  
onto the machine without removing it completely  
(see figures below).  
The wooden panel that covers the face of  
the machine must not be less than 18 mm in  
thickness and can be hinged on either the right  
or left. For the sake of practicality when using  
the machine, we recommend that the panel be  
hinged on the same side as the door for the  
machine itself - the left.

Using the Drilling Template.  
GB  
- To trace the positions of the holes on the left-  
hand side of the panel, align the drilling template  
to the top left side of the panel using the lines  
traced on the extremities as a reference.  
- To trace the positions of the holes on the right-  
hand side of the panel, align the drilling template  
to the top right side of the panel.  
- Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes  
for the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.

-Insertthehingesintotheholes(themovablepartof  
the hinge must be positioned facing away from the  
panel) and fasten them with the 4 type A screws.  
- Insert the magnet into the top hole on the op-  
posite side of the hinges and fasten it with the  
two type B screws.  
The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from  
815 mm to 835 mm), by turning the 4 feet.  
Should you require the appliance to be placed  
higher than the above height, you need to order  
special kit n° C00084867 available from Spare  
Parts to raise it up 900 mm.  
- Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole.  
The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the  
machine.  
Mounting the Panel into the machine.  
Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow  
in fig. 2) into the hole for the hinge and push the  
panel towards the front of the machine. Fasten  
the two hinges with the type D screws.  
Fastening the plinth guide.  
If the machine is installed at the end of a set of  
modular cabinets, mount either one or both of  
the guides for the base molding (as shown in fig.  
8). Adjust them for depth based on the position  
of the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten  
the base to the guides (fig. 9).  
This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8):  
Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide  
Q into the special slot and once it is in the desired  
position, lockitinplaceusinganglePandscrewR.  
Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.  
- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it  
with the cabinets (fig. 6).  
- Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the ma-  
chine to the appropriate height.  
- To adjust the position of the wooden panel in  
both the vertical and horizontal directions, use  
the C and D screws, as shown in fig. 7.

GB  
Checking the water inlet hose  
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This  
will limit the wear of your appliances water  
system and also prevent leaks.  
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If  
youseeanycracks, replaceitimmediately:during  
thewashcycles,waterpressureisverystrongand  
a cracked hose could easily split open.  
• Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and  
during all maintenance operations.  
Cleaning your appliance  
!Never use hoses that have already been used.  
Theexteriorandrubberpartsofyourappliancecan  
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm  
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
Remove the dispen-  
ser by pulling it out  
(see figure).  
1
Wash it under running  
water; this operation  
should be repeated  
frequently.  
2
Caring for your appliance door and  
drum  
• Always leave the appliance door ajar to pre-  
vent unpleasant odours from forming.  
Cleaning the pump  
Thewashingmachineisfittedwithaself-cleaning  
pump that does not require any maintenance.  
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or but-  
tons) 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. unscrew the lid ro-  
tating it anti-clockwi-  
se (see figure): a little  
water may trickle out.  
This is perfectly nor-  
mal;

Precautions and advice  
Old appliances must be collected separately in order  
! The washing machine was designed and built in complian-  
ce with the applicable international safety regulations. The  
following information is provided for your safety and should  
consequently be read carefully.  
GB  
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.  
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 know-  
ledge, unless they have been given supervision or  
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person  
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervi-  
sed to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.  
Saving energy and respecting the envi-  
ronment  
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.  
• 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.  
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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• Never force the washing machine door: this could  
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to  
prevent any accidental openings.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• If you use your washing machine from late in the  
afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you  
will help reduce the electricity boards peak load.  
The Delay Timer option helps to organise your wash  
cycles accordingly.  
• Before loading your laundry into the washing  
machine, make sure the drum is empty.  
Disposal  
• Disposing of the packaging material:  
• 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.  
observelocalregulations, sothepackagingcanbere-used.  
• 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.

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 accor-  
ding 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.  
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 5 with a temperature of 60°C.  
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 60°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.  
2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40°C.  
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°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.  
For all Test Institutes:  
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40°C.  
3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 4; with a temperature of 40°C.  
Notes  
-For programmes 9 and 10, we advise against exceeding a wash load of 3.5 kg.  
-For programme 14 we advise against exceeding a wash load of 2.5 kg.  
Cotton Standard 20° (wash cycle 8) 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.  
Daily (programme 12 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 (13 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.

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 conti-  
nuously 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.

create too much foam.  
Preparing your laundry  
• Divide your laundry according to:  
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for  
pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.  
- 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 values listed in the “Table of wash  
cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.  
!Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

Troubleshooting  
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 16), make sure the problem can’t easily be  
solved by consulting the following list.  
GB  
Possible causes/Solution:  
Problem  
The machine does not switch on.  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make  
contact.  
• There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.  
The wash cycle does not start.  
• The door is not closed properly.  
• The ‘ON/OFF’ button has not been pressed.  
• The ‘START/RESET’ button has not been pressed.  
• Thewatertaphasnotbeenturnedontoallowwatertoflowintothemachine.  
• A delayed start has been set.  
The machine does not fill with  
water.  
• The water inlet hose is kinked.  
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply.  
• The water pressure is too low.  
• Thewatertaphasnotbeenturnedontoallowwatertoflowintothemachine.  
• There is no water supply to the house.  
• The inlet valve filter is blocked.  
• The ‘START/RESET’ button has not been pressed.  
The machine continuously fills  
with water and continually drains  
away or Water left in the dru or  
Stuck on wash.  
• The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between  
65 and 100 cm from the floor.  
• The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to  
run into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the  
bottom of the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.  
• The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the  
‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.  
The machine does not drain or  
spin.  
• The Pump filter is blocked.  
• The “Easy iron” function is enabled: to complete the programme,  
press the START/RESET button (see page 13).  
• The drain hose is kinked.  
• New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed  
if connected under a sink.  
• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.  
• The wash cycle does not include draining, some wash cycles require  
the drain phase to be started manually.  
• The ‘Spin Speed’ selector knob is in the  
position.  
The machine does not heat or  
poor wash results.  
• The ‘Temperature’ selector knob is in the position.  
The programme takes too long.  
• Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water  
temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase  
the programme times accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’  
below).  
The machine vibrates a lot during  
the spin cycle.  
• The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.  
• New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the  
Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.  
• The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.  
• The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but  
at a lower speed.  
15  
 
The machine is noisy.  
• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.  
GB  
The machine wont spin properly.  
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this happens  
the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load required  
before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase  
the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.  
Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet,  
quilt, etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.  
The machine leaks from the di-  
spenser.  
• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.  
• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down  
the tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.  
• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.  
The machine leaks (other than  
dispenser).  
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.  
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or  
the fill hose is missing the rubber washer.  
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.  
The indicator lights on the conso-  
le are flashing rapidly.  
• 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 machine smells.  
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with  
detergent and no laundry.  
The machine door cannot be  
opened.  
• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out  
shortly after the program has finished.  
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.  
There is too much foam.  
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.  
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the  
text ‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).  
After completing the programme,  
or before starting a programme,  
the machine has turned itself off  
(no lights).  
To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an  
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate  
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.  
General.  
Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during  
the wash cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance  
loads, Wash time/progress). Normally, if your machine successfully  
completes the cycle, there is unlikely to be anything wrong!  
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation,  
as listed above.  
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.  
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine wa-  
shable.
