Indesit IWC 81252 User Manual

Installation

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for GB future reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the washing machine to inform the

new owner as to its operation and features.

! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1.Unpack the washing machine.

2.Check whether the washing machine has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 3 protective screws and the rubber bush with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see also the installation leaflet).

4.Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5.Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet

(see figure); the angle of inclination, measured according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the washing machine.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 threaded connec-

tion (see figure).

Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine, screwing it onto the appliance’s cold water inlet, situated on the top right-hand side on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

!The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Technical details table (on the page 5).

!If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

!Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water through. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus prevent water reaching the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap

The drain hose may be connected to an under-sink trap. Before connecting the drain hose from the machine ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot.

Alternatively, place the drain hose over the edge of a washbasin or bathtub, by fastening the guide (which

can be purchased at

the technical assistan-

ce centre) to the tap

(see figure).The free

end of the hose should not be underwater.

! 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. 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.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:

the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law;

the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum power load indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine;

the supply voltage is included within the values

indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on

GB

the machine.

 

 

 

• the socket is compatible with the washing

 

machine’s plug. If this is not the case, replace

 

the socket or the plug.

 

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fu-

 

sed plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket

 

for immediate use. Before using the appliance

 

please read the instructions below.

 

WARNING-THISAPPLIANCEMUSTBEEARTHED.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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 en-

 

sure that either:

 

 

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewi-

 

reable 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 complian-

 

ce with BS 5733) which is accessible without

 

moving the appliance.

 

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 alterna-

 

tive plug:

 

 

Important: the wires in the mains lead are co-

 

loured in accordance with the following code:

tifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.

Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured Red.

Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black.

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.

If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.
