Connecting the drain hose  
• the supply voltage is included within the values i  
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  
machines plug. If this is not the case, replace  
the socket or the plug.  
65 - 100 cm  
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 connec-  
ting the drain hose from  
the machine ensure that  
any blanks or removable  
ends have been taken off  
the spigot.  
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED  
OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.  
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 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.  
If it is place over the edge  
of a basin or sink be sure  
the free end of the hose  
should not be underwa-  
ter.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and  
you should wish to re-route the mains cable through parti-  
tions, units etc., please ensure that either:  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-wearable  
plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.  
! 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.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable out-  
let, 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 in-  
ches). 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.

Specials wash cycles  
Express 15’ (wash cycle 9) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and  
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (9 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together  
(except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.  
Sport Intensive (wash cycle 11) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results,  
we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the Table of wash cycles”  
.
Sport Light (wash cycle 12) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we  
recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using a liquid deter-  
gent and dosage suitable for a half-load.  
Special Shoes (wash cycle 13) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.

Personalisation  
Setting the temperature  
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles).  
GB  
The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash  
.
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value  
set for each wash cycle.  
Setting the spin speed  
Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle.  
The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows:  
Wash cycles  
Cottons  
Synthetics  
Wool  
Maximum spin speed  
1600 rpm  
800 rpm  
600 rpm  
Silk  
drain only  
The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol  
.
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed  
set for each wash cycle.  
Functions  
The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.  
To activate the functions:  
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;  
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.  
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the  
selected wash cycle.  
Delay timer  
To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period  
has been reached. When this option is enabled, the  
symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start option  
press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.  
! This option is enabled with all programmes.  
Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly soiled  
cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the Table of wash cycles”). “  
” enables you to wash in less time thereby saving  
water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity.  
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,  
,
,
.
Intensive Wash  
Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle duration, this  
function offers a high-performance wash.  
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,  
,
,
.

Detergents and laundry  
Silk: use special wash cycle 7 to wash all silk garments.  
We recommend the use of special detergent which has  
been designed to wash delicate clothes.  
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or  
mesh bag. Use wash cycle 7.  
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use  
a liquid detergent. Use programme 8.  
Detergent dispenser drawer  
GB  
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of  
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-  
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause  
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to  
environmental pollution.  
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these  
create too much foam.  
Open the detergent di-  
spenser drawer and pour  
in the detergent or washing  
additive, as follows.  
Load balancing system  
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and  
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates  
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the  
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load  
is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced  
spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the  
washing machine performs the distribution process instead  
of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and  
balance, we recommend small and large garments are  
mixed in the load.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)  
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle  
(powder or liquid)  
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately  
prior to the start of the wash cycle.  
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)  
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.  
Preparing the laundry  
• Divide the laundry according to:  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label  
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.  
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.  
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight  
of the laundry when dry:  
Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg  
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg  
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg  
Wool: max. 1,5 kg  
Silk: max. 1 kg  
How much does your laundry weigh?  
1 sheet 400-500 g  
1 pillow case 150-200 g  
1 tablecloth 400-500 g  
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g  
1 towel 150-250 g  
Garments requiring special care  
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 6,  
even those carrying the “hand-wash only”  
label. For  
best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5  
kg of laundry.

Precautions and tips  
! This washing machine was designed and constructed in  
accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-  
lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must  
therefore be read carefully.  
GB  
General safety  
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.  
• The washing machine must only be used by adults, in accor-  
dance with the instructions provided in this manual.  
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or  
damp hands or feet.  
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging  
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug  
and pull.  
• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the  
machine is in operation.  
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-  
ly high temperatures.  
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the  
safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental  
opening.  
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-  
stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt  
to repair it yourself.  
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while  
it is operating.  
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.  
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two  
or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never  
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.  
• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make  
sure the drum is empty.  
Disposal  
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local  
regulations so that the packaging may be re-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. 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 environment. The crossed out “wheeled  
bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obliga-  
tion, 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.  
11  
 
Care and maintenance  
Cutting off the water and electricity  
supplies  
Cleaning the pump  
GB  
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump  
which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes,  
small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-  
chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom  
part.  
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will  
limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing  
machine and help to prevent leaks.  
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and  
during all maintenance work.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the  
appliance.  
Cleaning the washing machine  
To access the pre-chamber:  
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance  
can be cleaned using 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 part of  
the washing machine (see  
figure);  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser dra-  
wer  
Remove the dispenser by  
raising it and pulling it out  
(see figure).  
Wash it under running wa-  
ter; this operation should  
be repeated frequently.  
2. unscrew the lid by rota-  
ting it anti-clockwise (see  
figure): a little water may  
trickle out. This is perfectly  
normal;  
Caring for the door and drum of your  
appliance  
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent  
unpleasant odours from forming.  
3. clean the inside 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 inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any  
cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash  
cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose  
could easily split open.  
! Never use second-hand hoses.  
12  
 
Troubleshooting

• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.  
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch  
the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of  
the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,  
causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special  
anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.  
The washing machine does not  
drain or spin.  
• The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain  
phase to be started manually.  
• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).  
• The drainage duct is clogged.

Recycling & Disposal Information  
As part of Indesits continued commitment to helping the environment, Indesit reserves the right to use quality, recycled  
components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.  
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully. To minimise the risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and  
cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer  
be plugged into a mains socket, and the door cannot be locked shut.
