What goes in your washer -dryer?

Before washing, you can do a great deal to ensure better results. Divide your garments according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their guidelines.

Before washing.

Divide your washing according to the type of fabric and colour fastness. Empty all pockets (coins, paper , money and small obejects) and ensure all loose buttons are repaired or removed prior to loading.

Starting the washer-dryer

After installing your new washer-dryer , start a wash cycle by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.

Starting your washer-dryer in the right way is important for the quality of your wash, to help prevent future problems and enhance life expectancy of your appliance. Once you have loaded your washer-dryer and added the detergent together with any fabric conditioner, always check that:

For more delicate

garments:

protect underwear, tights and stockings and delicate items by placing them in a

canvas pouch

The labels say it all.

Always look at the labels: they tell you everything about your garment and how to wash it in the best possible way. The table on page 6 shows all meanings behind these symbols. Their recommendations are important to achieve better wash results.

1. The door is closed correctly.

2. The plug is secured in the socket.

3. The water supply is turned on.

4. Selector knob A is positioned on one of the symbols Reset).

Choose the desired programme

The programme is selected according to the type of garments that need to be washed. T o choose a programme, refer to the table on page 4. Turn knob A until the selected programme is aligned with the mark on the knob, turn knob B to the desired temperatu- re settings, check that knob C is in the desired position, if necessary use buttons E, F, G and lastly, p ress on/off button H (I position).

Big and small happily together.

This washer-dryer has a special electronic control device for even distribution: before the spin cycle starts, this device allows the garments to positions themselves, to minimise noise and vibrations during the spin cycle.

At the end of the wash cycle...

Lamp I will flash quickly for a few seconds, then it will begin flashing more slowly . Then turn the washer-dryer off by pressing on-off button H (O position). You can now open the washer-dryer door safely. After having removed the freshly cleaned washing, leave the door open to allow air circulation inside the drum.

Dividing your garments

according to fabric and

for good results

Always disconnect electricity at the socket and turn off the water supply .

Remember that, in the event of a power failure, or should the washer-dryer switch itself off, the programme chosen will remain in its memory.

How to eliminate the most common stains

Ink and biro Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°. Tar Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately. Wax Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with turpentine or

methyl alcohol.

Chewing gum Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag. Mold Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar, then

washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.

Lipstick Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene for silk. Nail polish Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the

garment as the sheet gradually changes colour. Grass Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.

How to dry

A combined Washing and Drying Programme

Look at table A to the side and follow the instructions provided for MAX load to have an automatic washing and drying cycle. Follow the instructions for wash only (see page 2, the paragraph entitled "Starting the WasherDryer") and use knob C to set the type of drying cycle desired, then press button H (I position).

If the laundry load to be washed and dried exceeds the maximum load foreseen (see table A), then follow the instructions provided for wash only (see page 2, the paragraph entitled "Starting the WasherDryer"). When the wash cycle has finished, remove your washing, divide it up and replace part of it inside the drum. Now follow the instructions provided for a dry only cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.

Dry only

Once you have loaded the washing that needs drying (2,5 kg max. for cottons, see table for other fabrics ), make sure that:

- the door is shut correctly;

- the plug is inserted in the socket;

- the water tap is turned on;

- button H has not been pressed (O position).

And now set the wash cycle knob

Understanding labels

Learn the meaning of these symbols and you will get better results, your garments will last longer resulting in an improved wash.

All over Europe, garment labels contain messages expressed in small yet important symbols. Understanding them is very important if you want to get better results and treat your garments the way they deserve to be treated.

Useful tips

Turn shirts inside out to get better results and make them last longer.

Always empty pockets of their contents. Look at the label: it will always give you useful

advice.

These symbols are divided in five different categories and shapes: washing

, bleaching

, ironing , dry cleaning

and drying .

When loading your washing, try to have a mixture of large to small items.

Consult and learn the symbols in this table: they will help you obtain a better wash, treat your clothes properly, and get a better performance out of your washer-dryer.

Useful tips

Never use your washer-

dryer to wash... torn, fraying or

non-hemmed linen. If it is absolutely neccessary , place it in a bag for protection. Do not wash coloured linen with whites.

Watch the weight! For best results, do not exceed the weight limits stated below (figures show weight of dry garments):

- Resistant fabrics:

5 kg maximum

- Synthetic fabrics:

2.5 kg maximum

- Delicate fabrics:

2 kg maximum

- Pure new wool:

1 kg maximum

How much does it weigh? 1 sheet 400-500 gr. 1 pillow case 150-200 gr . 1 tablecloth 400-500 gr . 1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr. 1 towel 150-250 gr .

Coloured T-shirts, printed ones and shirts last longer if turned inside out before washing. Printed T-shir ts and sweatshir ts should always be ironed inside out.

Dungaree alert. Very popular “salopette” type overalls have straps with hooks that can damage the drum of your washer-dryer or ot her garments during the wash. T o minimise the risk, place hooks in the pocket and fasten with safety pins.

Holidays: unplug the

appliance.

It is recommended that you should unplug the machine from the socket and turn off the water supply. Leave the door ajar to allow air circulation to the draw and the door gasket area. This will prevent unpleasant odours.

WOOL CYCLE

For best results, we recommend you use a specific detergent, taking care not to wash more than 1 kg of laundry .

How to wash almost anything

Curtains. Curtains tend to crease a great deal. A useful tip to reduce creasing: fold the curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Do not load anything else inside the appliance, this will ensure that the overall weight does not exceed the half load. Remember to use the specific programme 10 which automatically excludes the spin cycle.

Quilted coats and anorak. Y ou can w ash quilted coats and wind-cheaters, too, if they are padded with goose or duck down. Do not load more than 2-3 kg and never load 5 kg. Repeat rinse once or twice using the gentle spin.

Trainers. Once you have removed mud and dirt from trainers, you can even wash them with jeans or any other tough garments. Do not wash trainers with whites.

It’ s important for a good wash

Useful tips about the detergent dispenser

The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is opened by pull it outwards.

You must follow the dosage recommendations provided by the manufacturers when adding detergent or fabric conditioner. Doses will vary according to the wash load, the water hardness and how soiled the washing is. Experience will help you select the right dosage almost automatically: it will become your secret. Ensure no overfilling when adding fabric conditioner in compartment 3. The washer-dryer automatically adds the softener to the wash in each programme. Liquid detergent is poured into compartment 2 just a few seconds before starting the wash cycle. Remember that liquid detergent is only designed for wash cycles of up to 60 degrees on non pre-wash items.

Special containers are sold with liquid or powder detergents for placing inside the washer-dryer drum, these are positioned according to the instructions found in the detergent box Never use hand wash detergent, because it may form too much foam, which could damage the washer-dryer. Detergents that are specifically formulated for both hand and machine wash are an exception. One last secret: when washing with cold water, alw a ys reduce the amount of detergent you use: it dissolves less easily in cold water than in hot water , so part of it would be wasted.

In compartment 1: Detergent for pre-washing (powder)

In compartment 2: Detergent for washing (powder or liquid)

In compartment 3: Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)

The detergent dispenser can be removed and cleaned: pull it outwards, as indicated in the figure. Then leave it under running water for a few minutes.

Cutting costs efficiently

A guide to environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE

Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?

For heavily soiled laundry only! SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

IS A HOT W ASH REQUIRED?

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

BEFORE USING A DRYING PROGRAMME ...

SAVE energy and time by selecting the highest suitable spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Troubleshooting

Before calling, read the f ollowing

In most cases, when your washer-dryer fails to work, the problems arising can be easily solved without having to call for a technician. Before calling for assistance, always check these points.

The washer-dryer fails to start.

Is the plug correctly inserted into the socket? It could have

been moved whilst cleaning.

Is there electricity in the house?

A circuit breaker may have switched off as a result of too many electrical appliances working at the same time. Or maybe due to a general failure in your entire area.

Is the washer-dryer door closed properly?

For safety reasons, the washer-dryer cannot work if

the door is open or not shut properly.

Is the On/Off button pressed?

If it is, then a programmed start has been set.

Is the programmed start knob, in the correct position for those models concerned?

Is the water supply turned on? For safety reasons, if the

washer-dryer does not load water, it cannot start a wash cycle.

But where did all the water go?

Simple: with the new Indesit technology, you need less than half of it, to get good results on twice as much! This is why you cannot see the water through the door: because there is little, very little of it, to respect the environment yet without renouncing maximum cleanliness. And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.

off, select one of the symbols stop/reset back on. If the knob continues to turn, call for assistance because it is showing an anomaly.

, then switch it

RIGHT WR ONG

Turn off the water supply after use. This will eliminate the possibility of leakage.

Always leave the appliance door ajar to avoid bad odours.

Clean the appliance’s exteriors gently. To clean the exteriors and the rubber parts of the appliance, always use a soft cloth dipped in warm and soapy water.

Leave the washer-dryer plugged in while cleaning. Even during maintenance, the appliance should always be unplugged.

Use solvents and aggressive abrasives. Never use solvents or abrasives to clean the external and rubber parts of the washer-dryer.

Neglect the detergent dispenser. It is removable and can easily be cleaned by leaving it under running water.

Go on holiday without thinking about her. Before leaving, always make sure that the washer-dryer is unplugged and that the water supply is turned off.

The washer-dryer fails to fill with water .

Is the hose correctly

connected to the tap?

Is there a water shortage ?

There could be work in

progress in your building or

street.

Is there sufficient water

pressure? The autoclave

may be malfunctioning.

Is the tap filter clean? If the

water is very calcareous, or

if work has recently been

carried out on the water

piping, the tap filter could be

clogged with particles and

debris.

Is the rubber hose kinked?

The tract of the rubber hose

bringing water to washer-

dryer must be as straight as

possible. Make sure it is not

squashed or kinked.

The programme selector knob keeps turning?

Wait a few minutes for the

drain pump to empty the

tub, switch the washer-dryer

The washer-dryer continuously fills and drains water .

Is the drain hose positioned too low? It must be installed

at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm.

Is the end of the hose

immersed in water? Does the wall drainage

system have a breather pipe? If the problem persists

even after these checks, turn the water supply off the machine and call for assistance. If you live on an upper floor of your building, there may be a problem with your drain trap . To solve this problem, a special valve must be installed.

Instructions for installation and use

Page 11

The washer-dryer does not drain or spin.

Does the selected programme incorporates water draining? Some

programmes stop at the end of the wash cycles and draining will have to be selected manually .

Is the “Anti-crease" function -where provided enabled? This function

requires manual selection for draining.

Is the drain pump clogged?

T o chec k it, turn off the water supply, unplug the washerdryer and follow the instructions on page 13, or call for technical assistance.

Always get

assistance from

authorised

technicians and

always insist on

original spare parts.

Is the drain hose kinked?

The tract of the drain hose must be as straight as possible. Make sure the drain hose is not squashed or kinked.

Is the washer-dryer’ s drain duct clogged? Is there an

extension of the drain hose? If so, is it positioned incorrectly, blocking the water flow?

Excessive vibration during the spin cycle.

Have all transit screws been removed durind installation? See the following

page on installation procedures.

Has the washer-dryer been levelled correctly? The

levelling of the appliance should be checked periodically. Adjust the feet and check them with a level.

Is there space between the machine and adjacent units? If it is not a built-in

model, the washer-dryer will oscillate a bit during the spin cycle. A few cm of space should therefore be left around it.

The washer-dryer leaks.

Is the metal ring of the inlet hose properly attached?

Turn off the water supply, unplug the appliance and try tightening its attachment without forcing it.

Is the detergent dispenser obstructed? Remove and

wash it under tap water .

Is the drain hose well attached? Turn off the water

supply , unplug the appliance and try tightening its attachment.

Too much foam.

Is the detergent appropriate for machine washing? Check

whether the definition on its label reads “for machine wash” or “hand and machine wash”, or any other similar wording.

Is the correct amount being used? An excessive amount of

detergent, besides producing too much foam, does not guarantee a more effective wash, and causes scaling in the internal parts of the appliance.

The washer-dryer does not dry.

Check whether:

the plug has been correctly inserted into the socket; there is electricity in your home; the appliance door has been shut properly; a delayed start (if available) has not been selected; programme knob A has been set to position (Stop/Reset); the drying cycle knob C has been set to position 0.

The washer-dryer must be levelled appropriatey in order to guarantee its correct functioning. T o level the appliance, the front feet must be adjusted; the angle of inclination, measured according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. When placed on carpet, make sure the ventilation is not reduced.

Connection to the water mains

Both hot and cold water supplies are preferable and they should be between 34.5kN/m²(5lb/in²) and

1034.2kN/m² (150lb/in²) pressure. The hose having the red end fitting should be encountered between the hot supply and the threaded connection adjacent to the letter H on the rear of the machine. The hose having the white end fittings should be connected between the cold supply and the threaded connection adjacent to the letter C on the rear of the machine. Remember to insert a sealing washer at each connection to ensure watertight joints. Do not overtighten the connections by using tools -hand tight is sufficient to prevent leaks. It is generally more convenient to have these supplies away from the sink taps. Where no suitable hot water supply is available or it does not meet these requirements, both inlet hoses may be connected to a cold supply by using two taps etc., or a «T» junction on the plumbing however , use of cold water only will increase programme times. Note: the maximum temperature should not exceed 70°C (158°F).

Connecting the drain hose

The drain hose (hooked pipe) is secured to the rear of the machine by support clips and may be routed to right or left as required.

The hook to be used in case the drain hose ends at a height below 60 cm.

The drain hose should be placed in a stand pipe with a minimum internal diameter of 38 mm (1½ inches) or it can be positioned over a sink or it can be connected as shown in Fig. A. The height of stand pipe or sink should be between 60 and 100 cm (24 and 40 inches). Care must be taken that the hose is not obstructed, twisted, submerged or kinked. If the hose is connected with an airtight joining, provision should be made to prevent syphoning.

Easy Care and Maintenance

T reat your machine well and it will provide many years of trouble free service

Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.

Your washer-dryer is designed to provide reliable service over many years. A few simple steps will help to prolong its life and avoid problems. It is advisable, to turn off water taps when the machine is not to be used, this protects the hoses, etc. If the water in your area is too hard, use a deliming product (water is hard if it often leaves whitish stains around taps or drains, especially of bath tubs. For more accurate information as to the type of water in your system, call the local water works or a local plumber). Pockets must always be emptied removing even pins, badges and any other hard object. The washer-dryer exterior should be cleaned with a rag dipped in lukewarm water and soap.

It is important to wash

the detergent dispenser

regularly.

T o prevent dried washing

powder from

accumulating, place the

dispenser under running

water for a few minutes.

Never exaggerate with doses.

Normal detergents already contain deliming agents. Only if the water is particularly hard, that is, rich in lime content, do we recommend the use of a specific product at every wash. A periodical wash cycle with a dose of a deliming product, without detergents or washing, may prove useful. Never use too much detergent or additives because this could cause an excess amount of foam, scaling and possible damage to the component parts of your washer-dryer.

Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can cause damage to your washer-dryer.

When in need, c heck the pump and the rubber hose.

The washer-dryer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.

Attention: Before attempting to examine this pre-chamber, first

ensure that the machine has finished its programme and is empty. Unplug the machine, as with any maintenance.

To gain access gently ease down the top of the plinth panel situated at the base of the machine, with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catch the small amount of water present. Release the cover by turning anti-

Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washer-dryer, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.

clockwise (Fig. 2). Ensure that the cover is securely replaced. Re-fit the plinth cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge into the slots and ease the top edge back into position.

Important for the safe use of your washer-dryer

Your safety and that of

Your washer-dryer has been built in compliance with the strictest international safety regulations.

your famil y

To protect you and all your family.

Read these instructions and all the information in this manual carefully: the y are an important source, not only of numerous useful tips, but also of vital information on safety, use and maintenance.

1. the machine should not be

installed in an outdoor environment, not even

when a roof shelters the area, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.

2. It must only be used by

adults and exclusively for

washing clothes following the instructions provided in this manual.

3. 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.

4. Before loading the washer-

dryer , make sure the drum is empty .

5. Never touch the washer-

dryer when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.

6. Never use extensions or

multiple plugs, which are

particularly dangerous in humid environments. The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.

7. Never open the detergent dispenser while the appliance is functioning; do not use hand wash detergent because the

abundance of foam could damage its internal parts.

8. Never pull on the supply cable or the washer-dryer to

disconnect it from the wall socket: it is extremely dangerous.

I only want an authorised specialised technician with original Indesit spare parts!

9. While the appliance is functioning, do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures. The appliance door ,

during wash cycles, tends to become hot; ensure

that children do no touch it. Never force the washer- dryer door because this

could damage the safety lock which prevents accidental opening when the nachine is working. Allow a few minutes at the end of the program for the lock to release.

10. In case of malfunctioning, first close the water tap and unplug the appliance from the wall socket; do

not under any circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs.

11. If you interrupt a Wash Programme before its end, then the water and clothes may be hot. The water level may also be above the door, see instruction for draining the machine before you open the door and handle with caution .

12. During the Tumble Drying programme and at its end, the clothes and drum of the machine may be hot, handle with caution and do not touch the drum.

How to change the power supply cable

The power supply cable must only be replaced by one of our authorised Service Engineers.
