other additives into the compartment marked with  
the number 3. The softener must not rise above  
the level of the grille. If you wish to run the  
washing programme especially for sportswear  
(by setting the timer knob to "auto" or to one of  
the positions between "3h and 24h" - see  
“Detergents and laundry”), it is also possible to  
use powder detergent in compartment 1 for the  
pre-wash phase.  
During the cycle, the indicator lights provide  
information relating to the amount of time  
remaining until the end of the programme.

Detergents and laundry  
Preparing your laundry  
Load-balancing system  
GB  
• Divide your laundry according to:  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.  
- the colours: separate coloured garments from  
whites.  
To avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin  
cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform  
manner by continuously rotating the drum at a  
speed which is slightly faster than the normal  
washing speed.  
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.  
• Do not exceed the maximum load values shown  
in the "Programme table".  
When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still  
not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower  
speed than the set frequency.  
How much does your laundry weigh?  
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine  
attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.  
The balancing attempts may extend the total duration  
of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.  
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  
Special items  
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow  
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without  
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme  
which excludes the spin cycle automatically.  
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are  
padded with goose or duck down, they can be  
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and  
load a maximum of 3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle  
once or twice.  
Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,  
taking care not to exceed a load of 1,5 kg.  
Sportswear: use the "Special Sport"  
programme. It is possible to run an initial pre-wash  
phase, which is useful for removing soil or mud  
residues from the garments. To use this phase, pour  
powder detergent into compartment 1 of the  
detergent drawer (see “Washing machine  
description”).  
The pre-wash phase will not run if the timer knob is  
set to a duration between 30 minutes and 1 hour  
(inclusive).

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.  
the impact on human health and the environment.  
GB  
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.  
General safety  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct  
disposal of their old appliance.  
• This appliance has been designed for non-  
professional, household use and its functions must  
not be changed.  
• This washing machine should only be used by  
adults and in accordance with the instructions  
provided in this manual.  
Saving energy and respecting the  
environment  
Environmentally-friendly technology  
• Never touch the washing machine when barefoot  
or with wet or damp hands or feet.  
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.  
• 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  
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.  
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach  
very high temperatures.  
• Never force the washing machine door: this could  
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to  
prevent any accidental openings.  
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them  
to soak before washing will cut down the need to  
wash them at high temperatures.  
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any  
circumstances touch internal parts in order to  
attempt repairs.  
• 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.  
• Always keep children well away from the  
appliance while in operation.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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

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.
