Warning! The company denies all liability if and when
these norms are not respected.
The first wash cycle
Once the appliance has been installed, and before
you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with
detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C
programme without a pre-wash cycle.
alternatively, place it
over the edge of a
basin, sink or tub,
fastening the duct
supplied to the tap (see
figure). The free end of
the hose should not be
underwater.

Preparing your laundry
• 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,

Precautions and advice
! The Washer-dryer was designed and built in
Disposal
compliance with the applicable international safety
GB
regulations. The following information is provided for
your safety and should consequently be read carefully.
• Disposing of the packaging material:
observe local regulations, so the packaging can
be re-used.
General safety
• Disposing of an old Washer-dryer:
• This appliance has been designed for non-
professional, household use and its functions must
not be changed.
before scrapping your appliance, cut the power
supply cable and remove the appliance door.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
• This washing machine should only be used by
adults and in accordance with the instructions
provided in this manual.
Environmentally-friendly technology
If you only see a little water through your appliance
door, this is because thanks to the latest Indesit
technology, your washing machine only needs less
than half the amount of water to get the best
results: an objective reached to respect the
environment.
• Never touch the washing 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.
Saving on detergent, water,
energy and time
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach
very high temperatures.
• To avoid wasting resources, the Washer-dryer
should be used with a full load. A full load instead
of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on
energy.
• Never force the washing machine door: this could
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to
prevent any accidental openings.
• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on
extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on
detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15%
energy.
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any
circumstances touch internal parts in order to
attempt repairs.
• Always keep children well away from the
appliance while in operation.
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving
them to soak before washing will cut down the
need to wash them at high temperatures. 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Before loading your laundry into the washing
machine, make sure the drum is empty.
• During the drying phase, the door tends to get
quite hot.
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have
been washed with flammable solvents (e.g.
trichlorethylene).
• If you use your washing machine from late in the
afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you
will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.
The Delay Timer option (see page 7) helps to
organise your wash cycles accordingly.
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or
similar elastomers.
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during
the drying cycles.
• 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.
• This washer-dryer can only be used to dry clothes
which have been pre-washed in water.

Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water or electricity
supply
Cleaning the pump
GB
The Washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump
that does not require any maintenance. Sometimes,
small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into
the pre-chamber that protects the pump, situated in
the lower part of the same.
•
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliance's water system
and also prevent leaks.
•
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance operations.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug
the appliance.
Cleaning your appliance
To access the pre-chamber:
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
1. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel
on the lower front of the
Washer-dryer (see
figure);
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pulling it
out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
2. unscrew the lid
rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figure): a
little water may trickle
out. This is perfectly
normal;
Caring for your appliance door and
drum
•
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
3. clean the interior thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are
securely in place before you push it onto the
appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If
you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and
a cracked hose could easily split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
10
Troubleshooting
Your Washer-dryer could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 12), make sure the problem can't
GB
easily be solved by consulting the following list.
