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.

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 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 detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.
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 detergent 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.

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,
,
,
.
Extra Rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is
particularly useful for sensitive skin.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 9,
,
.
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.

GB
garments. We recommend the use of special
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate
clothes.
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not
necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in
fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance
and contribute to environmental pollution.
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.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Load balancing system
Open the detergent
dispenser drawer and
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.

washing additive, as
follows.

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. 6 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 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.

regulations. The following information is provided for
safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully.
In the event that it is not possible to open the
porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to
remove the laundry, proceed as follows:
General safety
1. remove the plug from
the electrical socket.
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
2. make sure the water
level inside the machine is

opening; if it is not, remove
excess water using the
drain hose, collecting it in a
bucket as indicated in the
figure.
• 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.
3. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel on
the lower front part of the
washing machine (see
figure).
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach
extremely 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
circumstances 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 obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected.
4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the
figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop
position; pull downwards and open the door at the
same time.
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are
securely in place before you push it onto the
appliance.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.

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
drawer
Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pulling it
out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
2. unscrew the lid by
rotating 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.

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.
