Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has been
damaged d ring transport. If this is the case, do not
install it and contact yo r retailer.
3. Remove the 4
protective screws and
the r bber b sh with the
respective spacer,
sit ated on the rear of
the appliance (see also
the installation leaflet).
NB:The plastic spacers
may fall down inside the
machine once the bolt
has been removed, and will not interfere with the
operation of the machine.
4. Seal the gaps sing the plastic pl gs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: yo will need them again if the
washing machine needs to be moved to another
location.
Packaging materials are not children's toys.
Levelling
Yo r machine may make a considerable amo nt of noise
if the two front feet have not been adj sted correctly.
1. Install the washing machine on a flat st rdy floor,
witho t resting it p against walls, f rnit re cabinets
or other.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, compen-
sate for any nevenness
by tightening or
loosening the adj stable
front feet (see figure);
the angle of inclination,
meas red according to
the worktop, m st not
exceed 2°.
Levelling yo r appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting
d ring operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose
carpet, adj st the feet in s ch a way as to allow
eno gh 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
mo th (see figure).
Before making the
connection, allow the
water to r n freely ntil
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, sit ated on the top
right-hand side on the
rear of the appliance (see
figure).
3. Make s re there are no kinks or bends in the
hose.
The water press re at the tap m st be within the
val es indicated in the Technical details table
(on the next page).
If the water inlet hose is not long eno gh, contact
a specialist store or an a thorised serviceman.

Precautions and advice
 The washing machine was designed and b ilt in
compliance with the applicable international safety
reg lations. The following information is provided for
yo r safety and sho ld conseq ently be read caref lly.
General safety
 This appliance has been designed for non-
professional, ho sehold se and its f nctions m st
not be changed.
 This washing machine sho ld only be sed by
ad lts and in accordance with the instr ctions
provided in this man al.
 Never to ch the washing machine when barefoot
or with wet or damp hands or feet.
 Do not p ll on the power s pply cable to npl g
the appliance from the electricity socket. P ll the
pl g o t yo rself.
 Do not open the detergent dispenser while the
appliance is in operation.
 Do not to ch the drain water as it co ld reach
very high temperat res.
 Never force the washing machine door: this co ld
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to
prevent any accidental openings.
 In the event of a malf nction, do not nder any
circ mstances to ch internal parts in order to
attempt repairs.
 Always keep children well away from the
appliance while in operation.
 The appliance door tends to get q ite hot d ring
the wash cycle.
 Sho ld it have to be moved, proceed with the
help of two or three people and handle it with the
tmost care. Never try to do this alone, beca se
the appliance is very heavy.
 Before loading yo r la ndry into the washing
machine, make s re the dr m is empty.
Disposal
 Disposing of the packaging material:
observe local reg lations, so the packaging can
be re- sed.
 The E ropean Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Eq ipment, req ires that
old ho sehold electrical appliances m st not be
disposed of in the normal nsorted m nicipal
waste stream. Old appliances m st be collected
separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and red ce
the impact on h man health and the
environment. The crossed o t "wheeled bin"
symbol on the prod ct reminds yo of yo r
obligation, that when yo dispose of the appliance
it m st be separately collected.
Cons mers sho ld contact their local a thority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
aving energy and respecting the
environment
Environmentally-friendly technology
If yo only see a little water thro gh yo r appliance
door, this is beca se thanks to the latest Indesit
technology, yo r washing machine only needs less
than half the amo nt of water to get the best
res lts: an objective reached to respect the
environment.
aving on detergent, water, energy and time
 To avoid wasting reso rces, the washing machine
sho ld be sed with a f ll load. A f ll load instead
of two half loads allows yo to save p 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 c t down the
need to wash them at high temperat res. A
programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at
40°C instead of 60°C will save p to 50% on
energy.
 Use the correct q antity of detergent depending
on the water hardness, how soiled the garments
are and the amo nt of la ndry yo have, to avoid
wastage and to protect the environment: despite
being biodegradable, detergents do contain
ingredients that alter the nat ral balance of the
environment. In addition, avoid sing fabric
softener as m ch as possible.
 If yo se yo r washing machine from late in the
afternoon ntil the early ho rs of the morning, yo
will help red ce the electricity board's peak load.
The Delay Timer option (see page 9) helps to
organise yo r wash cycles accordingly.
 If yo r la ndry has to be dried in a t mble dryer,
select a high spin speed. Having the least water
possible in yo r la ndry will save yo time and
energy in the drying process.

GB
Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water or electricity
supply
 T rn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of yo r appliance's water system
and also prevent leaks.
 Unpl g yo r appliance when cleaning it and
d ring all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and r bber parts of yo r appliance can
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in l kewarm
soapy water. Do not se solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Remove the dispenser
by raising it and p lling it
o t (see figure).
Wash it nder r nning
water; this operation
sho ld be repeated
freq ently.
Caring for your appliance door and
drum
 Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
npleasant odo rs from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning
p mp that does not req ire any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (s ch as coins or b ttons)
may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the
p mp, sit ated in the lower part of the same.
 Make s re the wash cycle has ended and npl g
the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. sing a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel
on the lower front of the
washing machine (see
figure);
2. nscrew the lid
rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figure): a
little water may trickle
o t. This is perfectly
normal;
3. clean the interior thoro ghly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. reposition the panel, making s re the hooks are
sec rely in place before yo p sh it onto the
appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If
yo see any cracks, replace it immediately: d ring
the wash cycles, water press re is very strong and
a cracked hose co ld easily split open.
 Never se hoses that have already been sed.
