wait for the LED to flash before you open the appliance door.  
! The rapid flashing of the ON-OFF/DOOR LOCK LED together with the flashing of at least one other LED indicates  
there is an abnormality. Call for Technical Assistance.

Special programme  
Daily (programme 11 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only  
lasts 30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (11 at 30°C), you can  
wash different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.  
We recommend the use of liquid detergent.  
* To select a lower temperature (e.g. 40°), the temperature reduction rotary is to be used.

Dispensing powder detergent  
To achieve the best wash results the manufacturers  
recommended amount of detergent should be  
measured and added to the main detergent  
compartment.  
Dispensing liquid detergent  
We recommend the use of a detergent dosing ball, as  
provided by your detergent manufacturer.  
Adding fabric conditioner  
Pour the recommended amount of fabric conditioner  
into the compartment. Do not exceed the maximum fill  
line.  
Pre-wash (Programme 1)  
When selecting programme 1 add detergent to both  
the pre-wash and the main wash compartment.  
! Do not use in drum dosing devices with pre-wash  
programme 1.

• Divide your laundry according to:  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.  
- the colours: separate coloured garments from  
whites.  
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.  
• Do not exceed the weight limits stated below, which  
refer to the weight when dry:  
Sturdy fabrics  
: max. 7kg

Precautions and advice  
! The machine was designed and built in compliance  
with the applicable international safety regulations.  
The following information is provided for your safety  
and should consequently be read carefully.  
• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely  
GB  
soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent,  
time, water and between 5 and 15% energy.  
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them  
to soak before washing will cut down the need to  
wash them at high temperatures.  
General safety  
A programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at  
40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on  
energy.  
• This appliance has been designed for non-  
professional, household use and its functions must  
not be changed.  
• This machine should only be used by adults and in  
accordance with the instructions provided in this  
manual.  
• Never touch the machine when barefoot or with wet  
or damp hands or feet.  
• Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug the  
appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the plug  
out yourself.  
• Do not open the detergent dispenser while the  
appliance is in operation.  
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very  
high temperatures.  
• Never force the machine door: this could damage  
the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent  
accidental openings.  
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any  
circumstances touch internal parts in order to  
attempt repairs.  
• Use the correct quantity of detergent, depending on  
the water hardness, how soiled the garments are  
and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid  
wastage and to protect the environment: despite  
being biodegradable, detergents do contain  
ingredients that alter the natural balance of the  
environment. In addition, avoid using fabric softener  
as much as possible.  
• If you use your machine between late in the  
afternoon and the early hours of the morning, you  
will help reduce the electricity boards peak load.  
• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,  
select a high spin speed. Having the least water  
possible in your laundry will save you time and  
energy in the drying process.  
Disposal  
• Disposing of the packaging material:  
observe local regulations, so the packaging can be  
re-used.  
• Always keep children well away from the appliance  
while in operation.  
• The appliance door tends to get quite hot during  
the wash cycle.  
• 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.  
• Before loading your laundry into the machine, make  
sure the drum is empty.  
• Disposing of an old machine:  
before scrapping your appliance, cut the power  
supply cable and remove the appliance door.  
Disposal of old electrical appliances  
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires  
that old household electrical appliances must not be  
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste  
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately  
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the  
materials they contain and reduce the impact on  
human health and the environment.  
Saving energy and respecting the  
environment  
Environmentally-friendly technology  
If you only see a little water through your appliance  
door, this is because thanks to the latest Indesit  
technology, your machine only needs less than half the  
amount of water to get the best results: an objective  
reached to respect the environment.  
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on  
the product reminds you of your obligation,  
that when you dispose of the appliance it  
must be separately collected.  
Saving on detergent, water, energy and time  
Consumers should contact their local  
authority or retailer for information  
concerning the correct disposal of their old  
appliance.  
• To avoid wasting resources, the machine should be  
used with a full load. A full load instead of two half  
loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy.

Care and Maintenance  
Switching off the electricity  
Caring for your appliance door and  
GB  
drum  
• Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will  
limit the wear of your appliances water system and  
also prevent leaks.  
• Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent  
unpleasant odours from forming.  
• Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during  
all maintenance operations.  
Cleaning the pump  
Cleaning  
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning  
pump which does not require regular maintenance.  
However, it may be that small objects (coins, buttons,  
etc.) fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump  
(the pump is located in the lower part of this pre-  
chamber).  
Cleaning the exterior  
Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior  
surfaces of the appliance.  
Cleaning the door bowl  
Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly  
with a soft cloth. A build up of soap powder and water  
hardness residue may result in water leaking from the  
door.  
! Make sure that the wash cycle has finished and  
remove the plug from the socket.  
To access the pre-chamber:  
Cleaning the dispenser drawer and  
compartments  
1. remove the covering panel  
on the front of the washing  
machine using a screwdriver  
(see figure).  
It is advisable to clean the dispenser drawer regularly.  
! Do not try to clean any part of the dispenser drawer  
while the machine is running.  
1. Pull out the drawer until it  
reaches its stop.  
2. Press the drawer release  
button to remove the dispenser  
drawer (see figure).  
2. unscrew the cover, turning it  
in an anticlockwise direction  
(see figure). a little water may  
trickle out. This is perfectly  
normal.  
3. Clean and dry the dispenser  
drawer, syphons, grate and  
fabric conditioner exit channel  
(A). Also regularly clean the  
outlet pipe area (B).  
A
3. Clean the inside thoroughly.  
4. Screw the cover back on.  
5. Replace the cover panel, making sure that the  
hooks are positioned in the right slots before pushing  
the panel towards the machine.  
Checking the water inlet hose  
B
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you  
see any cracks, replace it immediately. During the  
wash cycles, high water pressure could cause a  
cracked hose to split open.  
4. Relocate the dispenser drawer and push it firmly  
back into place.  
! Do not clean any part of the machine with abrasive  
cleaners, scouring agents, acids, any bleach or metal  
polish as they may cause damage.  
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
