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
meshbag. Donot loadanything
else inside the appliance, this
will ensure that the overall
weightdoes notexceed the half
load. Remember to use the
specific programme 10 which
automaticallyexcludes the spin
cycle.
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.
Quilted coats and anorak.
Youcan washquilted coatsand
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.

Usefultipsabout thedetergentdispenser
It’s important for a good wash
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is
opened by pull it outwards.
Specialcontainers aresold with
liquid or powder detergents for
placinginside the washer-dryer
drum, these are positioned
according to the instructions
foundinthe detergent box
Never use hand wash
detergent,because it may form
too much foam, which could
damagethe washer-dryer.
Detergentsthatare specifically
formulated for both hand and
machine wash are an
exception.
One last secret: when washing
with cold water, always reduce
theamountofdetergentyouuse:
it dissolves less easily in cold
water than in hot water, so part
of it would be wasted.

MAXIMISETHE LOADSIZE
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 2 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 slight to normally soiled laundry.
ISA 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.
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.

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
maybe 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.

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.

9 Instructions for installation and use
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.
But where did all the water go?
