Instructions for installation and use
Thank you for choosing an Indesit product. This washer-dryer is reliable and easy to use. We suggest you read your owner's manual carefully. This will help you become familiar with your washer-dryer and its functions in order to obtain years of trouble free performance.
Double-action wash
Clothes are soaked in water and detergent, water then “rains” steadily through the clothes.
Saves while it washes
The double action wash penetrates so deeply that at just 60°C you obtain the same results you would normally obtain at 90°C with a traditional washer.
Safety, a good habit to get into

D. ON-OFF button
This button turns your appliance ON/OFF. Press button D to turn on the washer-dryer and depress button D to turn off the washer-dryer.
E. Half load button
Reduces water consumption during the rinse cycles. We recommend that you use this function only with small laundry loads, dosing the detergent proportionally.
F. Anti-crease button
This function interrupts the cycle so that the laundry is left soaking in water before the spin cycle.
This function is extremely useful because it stops delicate or synthetic fabrics from creasing (for example when one has to wait several hours before removing the laundry load).
It should be used only with the programmes for synthetic fabrics and woollens.
IMPORTANT: Before opening the door, drain away the water by setting knob A on "drain". To carry out the spin cycle, simply press F.
G. ON/OFF Indicator light
When this is lit, the machine is on.

Using your washer
Preparing your laundry....
Divide your laundry by fabric and colour fastness. Wash white and coloured items separately.
Remember to empty pockets, removing especially those small items like coins, paper, pins and badges that might jam the pump. Fasten or remove loose buttons and fasten zippers. Turn shirts inside out for better results.
Check wash labels
Garments and laundry generally have wash instruction labels (which tell you if they shloud be dry-cleaned, hand washed or machine washed) showing the wash temperature, how to iron etc.
Important: fabrics should only be machine washed if their labels show the appropriate symbol (see table 1 page 4).
Alternate small and large items when loading your washer-dryer
This washer-dryer has an electronic load balancing control: before carrying out the spin cycle, this device ensures that the laundry is arranged as evenly as possible in the drum, according to the type of fabric and the way it was initially loaded. This will minimize vibration and noise even during the fastest spin cycle. For best results however, we recommend you alternate small and large items when you load your washer-dryer remember to spread them out; never wash large loads of terry cloth items.
Detergents and fabric softener
Open detergent dispenser C by pulling it outwards. Fill with detergent and conditioner using the quantities indicated by the manufacturer on the packet according to the load you are washing, the water hardness and how soiled your laundry is. As you become more familiar with your washer, you will regulate the quantities according to your own personal experience.

Never fill compartment 3 above the grid.
Use compartment 2 for liquid detergent, filling the compartment just before you start the washer. Remember that liquid detergent is ideal for wash cycles with temperatures up to 60°C and for the programmes with no prewash cycle. Dispensers for liquid and powder detergents which are placed inside the drum of the washer, are sold on the market.
To improve the effectiveness of the washing cycle, we recommend that you insert a detergent dispenser in the drum before loading the laundry.
Do not use hand washing detergents since these produce very heavy suds.
When using cold wash cycles, remember to reduce the detergent dosage.
