Connecting the drain hose  
! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.  
GB  
Connect the drain hose,  
without bending it, to a  
draining duct or a wall  
drain situated between  
65 and 100 cm from  
the floor;  
! The power supply cable must never be bent or  
dangerously compressed.  
! The power supply cable must only be replaced by

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.  
Technical details

Good washing results also depend on the correct  
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't  
necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may  
in fact cause build up on the interior of your  
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow  
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without  
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 6  
which excludes the spin cycle automatically.  
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are  
padded with goose or duck down, they can be  
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and

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.

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to  
make contact.  
The washer-dryer won't start.  
• There has been a power failure.  
• The appliance door is not shut properly.  
The wash cycle won't start.  
• The  
button has not been pressed.  
• The START/RESET button has not been pressed.  
• The water tap is not turned on.  
• A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Timer, see page 7).  
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The wall drainage system doesn't have a breather pipe.  
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap,  
switch the appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of  
the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the  
Washer-dryer to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such  
an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.  
• The programme does not foresee the draining: some programmes  
require enabling the draining manually (see page 6).  
• The Easy iron option is enabled: to complete the programme, press  
the START/RESET button (see page 7).  
The washer-dryer does not  
drain or spin.  
• The drain hose is bent (see page 3).  
• The drain duct is clogged.

The washer-dryer leaks.  
• Call for Assistance because this means there is an abnormality.  
The ON-OFF/DOOR LOCK Led  
flashes rapidly at the same  
time as at least one other LED.  
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear  
the definition "for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash",  
or the like).  
There is too much foam.  
• You used too much detergent.  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.  
• There has been a power failure.  
The washer-dryer does not dry.  
• The appliance door is not shut properly.  
• A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Timer, see page 7).  
• the DRYING knob is on the 0 setting.
