Connecting the drain hose
• the supply voltage is included within the values indica
GB
ted on the Technical details table (see page 5);
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.
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.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED
OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
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.
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.
or:
! 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 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.
Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

The information contained in the table is intended as a guide only.
For all Test Institutes:
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 60456: set wash cycle 1 with a temperature of 60°C.
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 1 with a temperature of 40°C.
3) Short wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.
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.
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.
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,
,
,
.
1100-500
Press this button to reduce the spin speed.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 7,
.
Delay Timer
This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours.
Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button
is pressed, the function will be disabled.
N.B. Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time can only be modified by decreasing it until launching
the set programme.
! This option is enabled with all programmes.
9
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.

!Do not pour detergent into the compartment 1.
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 2.
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. 5,5 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1 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 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.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
GB
General safety
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu-
ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concer-
ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• 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.

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-cham-
ber 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 du-
ring 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
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
unpleasant odours from forming.
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.

and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).
• 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 drain hose is kinked (see “Installation”).
• 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

wash results.
The programme takes too long.
• Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water tempera-
ture 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.
13
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
dispenser.
• 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 console • Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then

Service.
The machine smells.
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with deter-
gent 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. • The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.
The water level is too low when
the machine is washing.
• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.
There is too much foam.
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text
‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).
• Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.
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/pro-
gress).
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
washable.

Recycling & Disposal Information
As part of Indesit’s 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.
