Thank you for choosing an Indesit product. This washer is reliable and easy to use. We suggest you read your owner's manual carefully. This will help you become familiar with your washer and its functions in order to obtain years of trouble free performance.

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.

Controlled consumption

The machine automatically adjusts the amount of water used in the wash to the size of the load, giving optimum use of water, energy and detergent.

Double-action wash

Clothes are soaked in water and detergent, water then “rains” steadily through the clothes.

Safety, a good habit to g et into

Overview

A. Pr ogramme selector

Use this dial to select one of the 18 wash programmes available for all your laundry requirements (see programme table on page 5).

Remember that this dial should be turned in a clockwise direction and only when the machine is off.

F. Spin cancel b utton

Use this button to exclude the spin cycle. This function should be used only for items that are difficult to iron and only with the synthetics and delicate fabrics programmes.

G. Anti-crease b utton

B. Temperature selector

Use this dial to set the wash temperature shown in the programme table (page 5). You may reduce the recommended wash temperature of the programme you have selected or run a cold wash (symbol ).

Note: When using cycle number 2, do not use temperature settings below 60°C.

C. Spin cycle selector

This selector sets the speed for the spin cycle: from 400 to 1400 r.p.m. for tough fabrics, or from 600 to 850 r.p.m. for delicate fabrics.

D. Detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has three compartments marked

1, 2 and 3: 1 prewash detergent 2 wash detergent 3 fabric softener.

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 G.

H. ON/OFF Indicator light

When this is lit, the machine is on.

E. ON-OFF button

This button turns your appliance ON/OFF. Press button E to turn on the washer and depress button E to turn off the washer.

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).

Alternate small and large items when loading your washer

This washing machine 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 washing machine remember to spread them out; never wash large loads of terry cloth items.
