Instructions for installation and use

What goes in your washer?

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.

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.

Starting the washer

Starting your washing machine
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 washing machine
and added the detergent
together with any fabric
conditioner, alwa ys check that:

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

(Stop/

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 and

G, and lastly , press on/off button
H (I position).

After installing your new washing machine, start a wash
cycle by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.

For more delicate

garments:

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

canvas pouch

Dividing your garments

according to fabric and

colour, is very important

for good results

At the end of the wash cycle...

The L lamp to extinguish: it will
take about three minutes.
Then turn the washing machine
off by pressing on-off button H

the washing machine door
safely . After having remo ved the
freshly cleaned washing, leave
the door open to allow air
circulation inside the drum.
Always disconnect electricity at
the socket and turn off the water
supply .

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

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 5 shows all
meanings behind these
symbols. Their recom­mendations are important to
achieve better wash results.

page 4) or those for wool and
silk.

Stain removal (see page 7)

Thanks to this command, the
washing machine will carry out
a more intensive wash that
optimises the effectiveness of the
liquid additives, thus allowing
more resistant stains to be
removed. When you press the
stain removal button, you cannot
activate the pre-wash.

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.

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

, bleaching ,

ironing

, dry cleaning and

drying

.

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 washing machine.

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.
When loading your washing, try to have a mixture

of large to small items.

Make sure you select the right
temperature!

Useful tips

Never use your washing

machine 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 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 9 which
automatically excludes the spin
cycle.

T rainers .
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.

Quilted coats and anorak.
You can wash 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.

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-shirts and sweatshirts
should always be ironed inside out.

Dungaree alert.
Ver y popular “salopette” type
overalls have straps with hooks
that can damage the drum of your
washing machine or other
garments during the wash. To
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.

Instructions for installation and use

For best results, we
recommend you use a
specific detergent, taking
care not to wash more than

1 kg of laundry .

WOOL CYCLE

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.
Before adding detergent for pre­washing in compartment 1,
make sure that the extra
compartment for bleach 4 has
not been inserted.
Ensure no overfilling when
adding fabric conditioner in
compartment 3.
The washing machine 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.

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

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

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

In compartment 4:
Bleach and delicate bleach.

Useful tips about the detergent dispenser

It’ s important for a good wash

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

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 washing
machine 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 washing machine.
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.

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.

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.

Instructions for installation and use

Bleach cycle and stain remover
button

If bleaching is necessary, the
extra case 4 (provided) must be
inserted into compartment 1 of
the detergent dispenser.
When pouring in the bleach, be
careful not to exceed the "max"
level indicated o n the central
pivot (see illustration).
The use of the additional bleach
container excludes the
possibility of using the pre-wash
cycle. Traditional bleach can

only be used on sturdy white
fabrics, whereas delicate
bleach can be used for
coloured fabrics, synthetics
and for wool.

You cannot bleach with the
“Silk” programme and with the
“special programmes” (see
page 4).
Use the stain removal button
every time you want to bleach.
Should you want to do it
separately you must pour the
bleach into the additional
container 4, press button G
(stain removal), start the
washing machine, then select
one of the symbols
according to the type of fabric.
When you bleach during a
normal wash cycle, pour the
detergent and any additives in
the special compartments,
press button G (stain removal),
set the programme you desire
and turn the washing machine
on.

The washing machine
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 washing
machine 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 off,

select one of the symbols
stop/reset

, then switch it
back on. If the knob continues
to turn, call for assistance
because it is showing an
anomaly.

The washing machine
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 tr ap.
To solve this problem, a
special valve must be
installed.

Before calling, read the f ollowing

Troubleshooting

In most cases, when your washing machine 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 washing machine
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 washing machine
door closed properly?

For safety reasons, the
washing machine 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

washing machine does not
load water, it cannot start a
wash cycle.

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 washing
machine 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 washing machine.

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
washing machine is
unplugged and that the
water supply is turned off.

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.

But where did all the water go?

- 89/336/EEC of 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent modifications

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.

If, despite all checks, the
washing machine fails to
function and the problem
persists, call your nearest
authorised Customer Service
Centre, providing the following
information:

- the nature of malfunction

- the model type no. (Mod. ....)

- the serial number (S/N ....)

This information can be found on
the data plate situated at the
back of the washing machine.

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

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

The washing machine
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.

Is the washing machine’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 washing machine
been levelled correctly? The

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

The washing machine
does not drain or spin.

Does the selected
programme incorporates
water draining? Some

When the new
washer arrives

Installation and removal

Whether new or just transported to a new house,
installation is extremely important for the correct
functioning of your washing machine.

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

If the drains hose empties into
a tub or sink then fit the plastic
guide and secure it to the tap.

The guide for draining into tubs and
sinks.

The end of the drain hose must
be positioned so that it cannot
become submerged.
Extensions are unadvisable. In
case of absolute need, the
extension must have the same
diameter as the original hose and
must not exceed 150 cm. In case
of wall draining pipes, their
efficiency must be checked by
a qualified technician. If the
dwelling is on one of the upper
floors of a building, there may be
drain trap problems causing the
washing machine to load and
unload water continuously .
In order to avoid such an
inconvenience, special anti-drain
trap valves are available in
shops.

After removing the appliance
from its packaging, check that it
is intact. If in doubt, contact a
qualified technician immediately .

The inside of the machine is
supported, for transportation, by
4 screws on the back panel.

Before using the washing
machine, remove the screws,
remove the spacers together
with the rubber tubes attached
to them (keeping all the parts)
and use the plastic plugs
provided to fill in the holes.

Levelling

The washing machine must be
levelled appropriatey in order to
guarantee its correct functioning.
T o lev el the appliance, the front feet
must be adjusted; the angle of
inclination, measured according to
the worktop, must not e xceed 2°.
When placed on carpet, make
sure the ventilation is not reduced.

The front feet are adjustable.

Connection to the water
mains

Water pressure must range within
the values indicated on the data
plate on the rear of your washing
machine. If the water pipes are
new or left unused, then before
connecting the machine run the
water until clear to remove debris.
Connect the inlet hose to a cold
water tap having a ¾ “ BSP thread.
Ensure that the rubber sealing
washers are fitted at each end of
the inlet hose, with the fitter washer
at the tap end.

A

The rubber gasket.

Connect the inlet hose to the
threaded connector on the
machine rear.

Water pipe inlet at the top right.

Connecting the drain hose

There are two hooks (right or left)
on the rear of your washing
machine to which the drain hose
is to be fixed. Insert the other end
in a stand pipe or place it on the
edge of a sink or tub avoiding
excessive kinks and bending. It
should be placed at a height
ranging from 60 to 100 cm. If it is
necessary to fix the end of the
hose at a height below 60 cm
from the ground, it must be fixed
in the appropriate hook placed on
the upper part of the back panel.

Warning!

The company denies all

liability if and when these

norms are not respected.

Plastic bags, expanded

styrofoam, nails and other

packaging parts are not
children’s toys, and are

potentially dangerous.

Retain the transit screws,

spacers and washers.

Should you move house

then these should be

replaced to support the

inside of the machine to

prevent damage when

transporting the machine.

Electric connection

Before connecting the appliance
to the electric socket, be sure that:

1) the electric socket is able to
sustain the appliance’s
maximum power load
indicated on the data plate
and in compliance with the
law;

2) the supply voltage is
included within the values
indicated on the data plate;

3) the socket is compatible with
the appliance’s plug. If not, do
not use adapters, but replace
either the socket or the plug;

Instructions for installation and use

Mounting the wooden panel
onto the door and inserting
the machine into cabinets:

In the case where the machine
must be shipped for final
installation after the wooden
panel has been mounted, we
suggest leaving it in its original
packaging. The packaging was
designed to make it possible to
mount the wooden panel onto
the machine without removing it
completely (see figures
below).

The wooden panel that covers
the face of the machine must not
be less than 18 mm in
thickness and can be hinged on
either the right or left. For the
sake of practicality when using
the machine, we recommend
that the panel be hinged on the
same side as the door for the
machine itself - the left.

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

Easy Care and Maintenance

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

Your washing machine 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 washing machine exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap.

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 washing machine.

When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.

The washer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance.
The water inlet hose

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

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.

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

Your safety and that of
your family

Important for the safe use of your washing machine

Your washer has been built in compliance with
the strictest international safety regulations. 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 washing
machine, make sure the
drum is empty .

5. Never touch the washing

machine 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.

How to change the power supply cable

The washing machine
power supply cable is
special and can be purchased
exclusively from authorised
Technical Service Centres.

To replace the cable:

1. Make sure that the machine
is switched off and unplugged.

2. Remove the cover by
unscrewing screws I [fig 13].

3. Disconnect the wires from
the radio interference
suppressor F [fig. 14] noting as
to their position (Blue=N wire;
Brown=L wire) leaving the
earth wire until last

.

N.B.: letters L, N and the
symbol

are indicated on the

radio interference suppressor.

4. Remove the screw and
washer V [fig. 15], which act as
a stop for the cable passageway.

5. Remove the upper part of the
cable slightly from the back
panel of the appliance, pull the
power supply cable upwards and
take it out [fig. 16].

To connect the new power
supply cable, reverse the pro­cedure.

It is important for your
safety that you reassemble
all parts and screws used.

8. Never pull on the supply

cable or the washing

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

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 washing
machine 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.

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

Was darf in die Waschmaschine?

Sie können viel dazu beitragen, dass Ihre Wäsche besonders rein wird, noch bevor der W aschvorgang
beginnt. Trennen Sie die Wäsche nach Farben und Material. Kontrollieren Sie die Wäscheetiketten
und befolgen Sie die dort aufgezeichneten Waschanleitungen. Geben Sie abwechselnd kleine und
große Wäschestücke in die Wäschetrommel.

V or dem W aschen.

Trennen Sie die Wäsche nach
Material und nach Farbfestigkeit:
strapazierfähige Stoffe sollten nicht
gemeinsam mit Feinwäsche
gewaschen werden.
Helle Farben müssen stets von
dunklen getrennt gewaschen
werden.
Entleeren Sie alle Taschen (Klein­geld, Papier, Geldscheine und
Kleingegenstände) und kontrollie­ren Sie auch die Knöpfe. Wenn ein
Knopf lose ist, nehmen Sie ihn ab
oder nähen Sie ihn fest, denn er
könnte beim Waschen abspringen.

So können Sie die gängigsten Flecken entfernen:

Tinte und Kugelschreiber: Betupfen Sie den Fleck mit einem Wattebausch, den Sie mit Methylalkohol oder mit 90°igem Alkohol
getränkt haben.

T eer: Betupfen Sie den Fleck mit frischer Butter, danach fahren Sie mit Terpentin darüber und waschen das Ganze dann sofort aus.
Wachs: Schaben Sie erst das feste Wachs ab und legen Sie dann den Fleck zwischen zwei Löschblätter: nun bügeln Sie mit dem heißen

Bügeleisen darüber. Daraufhin wischen Sie den Fleck noch mit einem Wattebausch mit Farblösungsmittel oder mit Methylalkohol ab.

Kaugummi: Reiben Sie den Kaugummi mit Nagellackentferner ab und trocknen Sie das Ganze dann mit einem sauberen Lappen nach.
Schimmel: Baumwolle und weißes Leinengewebe geben Sie in eine Lösung von 5 Teilen Wasser, einem Teil Bleichmittel und einem

Esslöffel Essig, danach sofort auswaschen. Für alle übrigen weißen Gewebe verwenden Sie Wasserstoffperoxyd (1:10) und waschen
daraufhin sofort das Gewebe aus.
Lippenstift: Reiben Sie den Fleck mit Äther ab, wenn es sich um Wolle oder Baumwolle handelt. Bei Seide verwenden Sie
Trichloräthylen.
Nagellack: Legen Sie das Gewebe mit dem Fleck nach unten auf ein Löschblatt, tränken Sie das Ganze mit Nagellackentferner und
verschieben Sie den Fleck stets, wenn sich das Löschpapier färbt.
Gras: Betupfen Sie den Fleck mit einem Wattebausch, den Sie mit Methylalkohol getränkt haben.

Wie setzen Sie Ihre
Waschmaschine in Betrieb?

Es ist wichtig, dass Sie Ihre
Waschmaschine richtig in Betrieb
nehmen, und zwar nicht nur, um
eine gute Waschqualität zu
garantieren, sondern auch um
Probleme am Gerät zu vermeiden
und somit seine Lebensdauer zu
verlängern. Nachdem Sie die
Wäsche, das Waschpulver und
eventuelle Zusätze in den
Waschvollautomaten gegeben
haben, kontrollieren Sie stets, ob

1. die Tür gut geschlossen ist.

2. der Stecker in der Steckdose
ist.

3. der W asserhahn auf ist.

4. sich der Schalter A auf einem
