ndicated on the Technical details table
(see page 5);
GB
Connect the drain hose,
without bending it, to a
draining duct or a wall
drain situated between
65 and 100 cm from
the floor;
• the socket is compatible with the washing
machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace
the socket or the plug.

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.

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
underwater.
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 obtained directly
from your nearest Service Depot.
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 ensure 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:
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.
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.
Disposing of the plug:
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be
accidentally inserted into a socket.
Electric connection
Before plugging the appliance into the mains
socket, make sure that:

Precautions and advice
! The washing 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.
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.
GB
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.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
• This washing machine should only be used by
adults and in accordance with the instructions
provided in this manual.
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.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser while the
appliance is in operation.
Saving on detergent, water,
energy and time
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach
very high temperatures.
• 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.
• Never force the washing machine door: this could
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to
prevent any accidental openings.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Before loading your laundry into the washing
machine, make sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging material:
observe local regulations, so the packaging can
be re-used.
• If you use your washing machine from late in the
afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you
will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.
The Delay Timer option (see page 9) helps to
organise your wash cycles accordingly.
• 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. 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
• 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.
11
Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water or electricity
supply
Cleaning the pump
GB
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump that does not require any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)
may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the
pump, situated in the lower part of the same.
•
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.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug
the appliance.
Cleaning your appliance
To access the pre-chamber:
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
1. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel
on the lower front of the
washing machine (see
figure);
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Remove the dispenser
by pulling it out (see
figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
2. unscrew the lid
rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figure): a
little water may trickle
out. This is perfectly
normal;
Caring for your appliance door and
drum
•
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
3. clean the interior thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are
securely in place before you push it onto the
appliance.
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, water pressure is very strong and
a cracked hose could easily split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
