4. At the end of the wash cycle, the word END will appear on the display.

CHILD LOCK
To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds. The lit symbol signals that the control panel is locked. This prevents wash cycles from being modified accidentally (except for the ON/OFF button), especially if there are children in the home. To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, garments to be hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and the drum. Check all buttons.
Follow the dosage recommendation/additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent.
Use low temperature and longer duration
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Observe the load sizes
Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the “Wash Cycle Table” table to save water and energy.
Noise and remaining moisture content
They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine off and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Disconnect the water and power supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks. Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.
Clean the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
The washing machine has an “Auto-clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must be run without any load in the drum.
To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the quantity specified for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40 wash cycles.
To start the cycle press buttonsand 11… simultaneously for 5 seconds.
The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.
Clean the detergent dispenser drawer
Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.
Care for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Clean the pump
The washing machine is fitted with an auto-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. remove the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre then pushing downwards on both sides to extract it;
2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the cover back on;
5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before pushing the panel onto the appliance.

Check the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water could suddenly split the hose open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed that is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments be mixed in the load.
ACCESSORIES
Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this washing machine model.
Stacking kit 
With this accessory, you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of your washing machine to save space and facilitate the loading and unloading of the tumble dryer.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section. Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the filling hose from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the “Health & Safety and Installation Guides”.

DEMO MODE: to deactivate this function, switch the washing machine OFF. Then press and hold the “Start/Pause” button, within 5 seconds press also “ON/OFF” button and hold both buttons for 2 seconds.

	There is no water supply to the house.
	The inlet valve filter is blocked.
	The START/PAUSE  button has not been pressed.
The machine continuously fills with water and continually drains away or Water left in the drum or Stuck on the wash.	The top of the drain hose is too low – It must be fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor.
	The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of the sink to prevent water from flowing down the drain hose.
	The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the ‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.
The machine does not drain or spin – (error lights flashing).	The Pump filter is blocked.
	The drain hose is kinked.
	New Installation – The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if connected under a sink.
	The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.
The machine does spin.	The ‘Spin’ Speed is set to “OFF”.
The machine does not heat or poor wash results.	The ‘Temperature’ is set to “OFF”.
The programme takes too long.	Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme times accordingly.
The Display sticks at one ‘time to end’ for more than 1 Minute or the Display changes the estimated ‘Time to End’ during the programme.	The display time is for guidance only – it is not a precise time to finish and may vary.
The washing machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.	The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.
	New Installation – Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.
	The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.
	The load is in a slight out of balance condition and the machine is spinning but at a slower speed.
The machine is noisy.	There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.

	The water pressure is too high and requires turning downturn down the tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.
	The machine is tilting forwards – It must be level when in its final position.
The “Options” and START/PAUSE  indicator lights flash rapidly and the display visualises an error code (e.g.: F-01, F-…).	Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch back on again. If the problem persists contact Technical Assistance Centre.
The machine smells.	The machine requires a service wash. Run a auto clean wash cycle with detergent and no laundry.
The water level is too low when the machine is washing.	The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.
There is too much foam.	The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text ‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).
General.	Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress). Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to be anything wrong!
The PUSH & GO option does not activate.	After switching on the machine, a control other than PUSH & GO was activated. Switch the machine off and press the PUSH & GO button.

What are common problems with washing machines?

10 Most Common Washing Machine Problems
It Bounces Around.
It’s Noisy.
Clothes Are Getting Ripped.
Improper Or Slow Draining.
My Washing Machine Won’t Spin.
There’s No Water.
The Door Won’t Open.
It’s Smelly.

Why won’t my washer drain and spin?

If your washer won’t drain or spin, the water level control may be faulty. Open the machine’s control panel and look for a plastic tube attached to the water level valve. If it’s clogged, clear it out with vinegar. If the valve itself is corroded, it may need to be replaced

What to do when washing machine stops working?

Be sure the machine is plugged in and turned on. If necessary, check the receptacle it’s plugged into for power, using a working lamp, appliance, or voltage tester. Be sure the washer lid is closed completely. 2 If the receptacle seems dead, check the circuit breaker or the fuse that serves it.

What causes a washing machine not to start?

First, make sure the power is on and that the machine is plugged in. You should check the outlet to make sure it’s working. Then, check if a fuse is blown or a circuit breaker thrown. If those both work, see if the Delay Start button or Control Lock feature has been activated.

Why is my washing machine making a loud noise when it spins?

The most common reason your washer makes banging sounds during the spin cycle is that an unbalanced load has thrown it out of whack. When you put your dirty clothes in your machine, make sure to distribute them evenly in the drum. Heavy items mixed with lighter ones can cause it to spin unevenly.

How do you use an Indesit washing machine?

Running a wash cycle
LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door. …
ADD THE DETERGENT. Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents and laundry”.
CLOSE THE DOOR.
Press the “PUSH & WASH” button to start the wash programme.

Why are all the lights on my indesit washing machine flashing?

All lights flashing on washing machine
Indesit washing machine all lights flashing and not draining can be a sign of a blockage in the filter. If the wash, rinse, and spin function lights are all flashing at the same time this points to a possible obstruction in the waste or drain pipe.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Make the most of your hot plate’s residual heat by switching it off a few minutes before you finish cooking.
The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate completely; a container that is smaller than the hot plate will cause energy to be wasted.
Cover your pots and pans with tight-fitting lids while cooking and use as 0little water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption.
Use only flat-bottomed pots and pans.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

CONTROL PANEL

ACCESSORIES

POTS AND PANS

Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material that are suitable for use with induction hobs:

• enameled steel
• cast iron
• special pots and pans in stainless steel, suitable for induction cooking

Check for the symbol (usually stamped on the bottom) to determine whether a pot is suitable. A magnet may be used to check whether pots are magnetic.
The quality and the structure of the pot base can alter cooking performance. Some indications for the base’s diameter do not correspond to the actual diameter of the ferromagnetic surface.
Some pots and pans have only a part of the bottom in a ferromagnetic material, with parts in another material not suitable for induction cooking. These areas may heat up at different levels or lower temperatures. In certain cases, where the bottom is made mainly of non-ferromagnetic materials, the hob might not recognize the pan and therefore not switch on the cooking zone.

To ensure optimum efficiency, always use pots and pans with flat bottoms that distribute the heat evenly. If the bottom is uneven, this will affect power and heat conduction.

Empty pots or pots with a thin base
Do not use empty pots or pans when the hob is on. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system that constantly monitors the temperature, activating the “automatic off“  function where high temperatures are detected. When used with empty pots or pots with thin bases, the temperature may rise very quickly, and the “automatic off“  function may not be triggered immediately, damaging the pan or the hob surface. If this occurs, do not touch anything and wait for all components to cool down.
If any error messages appear, call the service center.
Minimum diameter of pot/pan base for the different cooking areas To ensure that the hob functions properly, use pots of a suitable minimum diameter (refer to the drawing below).
Always use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the minimum diameter of the bottom of the pot.
Place the pot making sure it is well centered on the cooking zone in use.
It is recommended not to use pots that exceed the perimeter of the cooking zone in use.

ADAPTER FOR POTS/PANS UNSUITABLE FOR INDUCTION
Using this accessory makes it possible to use pots and pans that are not suitable for induction hobs. It is important to bear in mind that using it affects efficiency and,  consequently, the time needed to heat food. Its use should be limited because the temperatures reached on its surface depend significantly on the pot/pan used, its atness, and the type of food being cooked. Using a pot or pan with a smaller diameter than the adapter disc may cause heat to build up that is not transmitted to the pot or pan, which could blacken both the hob and the disc. Adapt the diameter of your pots/pans and the hob to the diameter of the adapter.

FIRST TIME USE

POWER MANAGEMENT
At the time of purchase, the hob is set to the maximum possible power.
Adjust the setting concerning the limits of your home’s electrical system as described in the following paragraph.
N.B: Depending on the power selected for the hob, some of the cooking zone power levels and functions (e.g. boil or fast heating) could be automatically limited to prevent the selected limit from being exceeded.
To set the power of the hob:
Once you have connected the device to the mains power supply, you can set the power level within 60 seconds.
Press the ”+” button for at least 3 seconds. The display shows ”PL”.

To turn the hob off, press the same button again, and all cooking zones will be deactivated.
POSITIONING
Locate the desired cooking zone by referring to the position symbols.
Do not cover the control panel symbols with the cooking pot.
Please note: In the cooking zones close to the control panel, it is advisable to keep pots and pans inside the markings (taking both the bottom of the pan and the upper edge into consideration, as this tends to be larger).
This prevents excessive overheating of the keypad. When grilling or frying, please use the rear cooking zones wherever possible.

ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING COOKING ZONES AND ADJUSTING POWER LEVELS
To activate the cooking zones:
Select the pre-selected cooking zone by pressing the corresponding zone selection button. The display will show level ”0”.
Each cooking zone has different power levels that can be adjusted using the ”+”/”−” buttons, from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9.
Some cooking zones have a fast heating function (Booster), shown on the display with the letter “P“.
To deactivate the cooking zones:
Select the cooking zone to be switched off by pressing the corresponding zone selection button (a dot will light up on the display, to the power level indicator’s bottom right).  Press the “−“ to set the level to “0“.

INDICATORS

RESIDUAL HEAT
If “H“ appears on the display, this means that the cooking zone is hot. The indicator lights up even if the zone has not been activated but has been heated due to the adjacent zones’ use or because a hot pot has been placed on it.
When the cooking zone has cooled down, the ”H” disappears.

POT INCORRECTLY POSITIONED OR MISSING
This symbol appears if the pot is not suitable for induction cooking, is not positioned correctly, or is not of an appropriate size for the cooking zone selected. If no pot is detected within 30 seconds of making the selection, the cooking zone switches off.

COOKING TABLE

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

WARNING

• Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
• Before cleaning, make sure the cooking zones are switched off and that the residual heat indicator (”H”) is not displayed.

Important:

• Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads as they may damage the glass.
• After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and stains from food residue.
• A surface that is not kept suitably clean may reduce the sensitivity of control panel buttons.
• Use a scraper only if residues are stuck to the hob. Follow the scraper manufacturer’s instructions to avoid scratching the glass.
• Sugar or foods with high sugar content can damage the hob and must be immediately removed.
• Salt, sugar, and sand could scratch the glass surface.
• Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a special hob cleaner (follow
  the Manufacturer’s instructions).

• After cleaning the hob, dry thoroughly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Check that the electricity supply has not been shut off.
• If you cannot turn the hob off after using it, disconnect it from the power supply.
• If alphanumeric codes appear on the display when the hob is switched on, consult the following table for instructions.

Please note: The presence of water, liquid spilled from pots, or any objects resting on any of the hob buttons can accidentally activate or deactivate the control panel lock function.

SOUNDS PRODUCED DURING OPERATION

Induction hobs may whistle or creak during normal operation.
These noises actually come from the cookware and are linked to the characteristics of the pan bottoms (for example, when the bottoms are made from different layers of material or are irregular).
These noises may vary according to the type of cookware used and the amount of food it contains and are not the symptom of something wrong.

FIRST TIME USE SALT, RINSE AID, AND DETERGENT
ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE
After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack.
FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on the machine’s functional components.

• It is mandatory that THE SALT RESERVOIR NEVER BE EMPTY
• It is important to set the water hardness.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and must be filled when the green float on the cap of the salt reservoir is no longer visible.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
2. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
3. Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair). Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.
SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS
To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier. The factory sets the default value for the water hardness:

• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Hold the button START/Pause for 5 seconds.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button
• The ON/OFF LED light will flash as many times as the level that was set.
• Set the desired water hardness level using the PROGRAM SELECTION knob (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).

5 Very hard	35 – 50	61 – 90	43 – 62

Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
The setting is complete!
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading. Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers. After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator light switches off.
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation. Using Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be filled when the dark optical indicator on the dispenser door C becomes transparent.

1. Open dispenser B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.
2. Pour in the rinse aid (max.110 ml), making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it. NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust the quantity of rinse aid used.

• Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button.
• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.
• Press the button START/Pause three times.
• Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.
• The START LED light will flash as many times as the level that was set.
• Set the level of rinse aid quantity to be supplied using the PROGRAM SELECTION knob (see PROGRAMS TABLE).
• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button

The setting is complete!
If the rinse aid level is set to 1 (ECO), no-rinse aid will be supplied.
A maximum of 5 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is specific to the model, please follow the instructions above to check this for your machine

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (2-3).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a mid-range number (4-5).

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device D. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser E only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the mentioned earlier information to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser E, there are indications to help the detergent dosing.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program.
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance

OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS

DRAIN OUT
To stop and cancel the active cycle, the Drain Out function can be used. A long press of the START/PAUSE button will activate the DRAIN OUT function. The active program will be stopped and the water in the dishwasher will be drained out.

LOADING THE RACKS

UPPER RACK
Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls.

(loading example for the upper rack)

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
The height of the upper basket can be adjusted: a high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and a low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments by creating more space upwards.

The upper rack is equipped with an Upper Rack height adjuster (see figure), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position. To restore to the lower position, press the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards.
We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded. NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.

FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION

The side foldable flaps can be folded or unfolded to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack.
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.

Depending on the model: 
– to unfold the flaps there is needed to slide it up and rotate or release it from the snaps and pull it down.
– to fold the flaps there is needed to rotate it and slide flaps down or pull it up and attach flaps to the snaps.
LOWER RACK
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc… Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm.

(loading example for the lower rack)
CUTLERY BASKET
It is fitted with top grids for improved cutlery arrangement. It must only be positioned at the front of the lower rack.

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack.

DAILY USE

1. CHECK WATER CONNECTION
   Check that the dishwasher is connected to the water supply and that the tap is open.
2. SWITCH ON THE DISHWASHER
   Press the ON/OFF button.
3. LOAD THE RACKS
   (see LOADING THE RACKS)
4. FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
5. CHOOSE THE PROGRAM AND CUSTOMISE THE CYCLE
   Select the most appropriate program in accordance with the type of crockery and its soiling level (see PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION) by turning the PROGRAM SELECTION knob clockwise. Select the desired options (see OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS).
6. START Start the wash cycle by pressing the START/Pause button.
7. END OF WASH CYCLE
   The end of the wash cycle is indicated by the ON/OFF LED lit. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button and opening the door. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery – to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower one.

The machine will switch off automatically during certain extended periods of inactivity, in order to minimize electricity consumption. If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.
MODIFYING A RUNNING PROGRAM
If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it, provided that it has only just begun: press and hold the ON/OFF button, and the machine will switch off. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle and any desired options; start the cycle by pressing the START/Pause button.

ACCIDENTAL INTERRUPTIONS
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. Once the door has been closed or the electricity supply is restored, to start again the cycle from where it was interrupted, press the START/Pause button.

ADVICE AND TIPS

TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand under running water. Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely. Warning: lids, handles, trays, and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance. After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.
UNSUITABLE CROCKERY
· Wooden crockery and cutlery.

• Delicately decorated glasses, artistic handicrafts, and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery is soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease, or ink. The colors of glass decorations and aluminum/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.

DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY

• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.

TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING

• When the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, washing tableware in a dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing.
• In order to maximize dishwasher efficiency, it is recommended to initiate the wash cycle once the dishwasher is fully loaded. Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. Information on the correct loading of tableware can be found in the Loading chapter. In case of partial loading it is recommended to use dedicated wash options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash, Multi-Zone), filling up only selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading the dishwasher may increase resources usage (such as water, energy, and time, as well as increasing noise level), reducing cleaning and drying performance.
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.

HYGIENE

To avoid odor and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher please run a high-temperature program at least one a month. Use a teaspoon of detergent and run it without the loading to clean your appliance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY
Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and that the wastewater flows away correctly. Using a dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside the filtration system or spray arms may cause unit malfunction resulting in loss of performance, noisy work, or higher resources usage. The filter assembly consists of three filters that remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.
The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.
At least once per month or after every 30 cycles, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

1. Turn the cylindrical filter A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (Fig 1).
2.  Remove cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (Fig 2).
3. Slide-out the stainless-steel plate filter C (Fig 3).
4. In case you find foreign objects (such as broken glass, porcelain, bones, fruit seeds, etc.) please remove them carefully.
5. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4)..

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush.

To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.

The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill salt containers when empty. Frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting regeneration takes place once per 5 Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to 3. The regeneration process starts in the final rinse and finishes in the drying phase, before the cycle ends.

• Single regeneration consumes ~3.5L of water;
• Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
• Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.

INSTALLATION TIPS

This appliance must be earthed.
Mains Connection:
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your supply voltage, this is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the outer rear panel.
The model number and serial number are located on the front of the cooker, as shown on the Feature’s page.
The cooker must be connected by a competent person such as one who is a, NICEIC registered contractor to a suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 32A and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm
(applicable to newer properties, older properties where a 30A double pole control unit and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm is acceptable).
The double pole control unit should be fitted
adjacent to the cooker, in accordance with IEE regulations. The control unit must be within 2 meters of but not directly above the appliance and should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency. The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 6mm2, minimum.
Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover. The main cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block. A sufficient cable should be used to allow the cooker to be pulled out for servicing. Ensure that the mains cable is routed away from any brackets affixed to the rear panel and is not trapped to the rear wall when pushing the cooker into position between cabinets.

This operation must be performed by a qualified technician. 

Before moving your cooker check that it is cool, and switch off at the cooker control unit. Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows:

Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.

Important: This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms according to the British Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following requirements must be observed:

•  The cooker should not be installed in a bed-sitting room with a volume of less than 20m3. If it is installed in a room of volume less than 5m3 an air vent of effective area of 110cm2 is required, if it is installed in a room of volume between 5m3 and 10m3 a supplementary air vent area of 50cm2 is required, if the volume exceeds 11m3 no air vent is required. However, if the room has a door or a window that opens directly to the outside no air vent is required even when the volume is between 5m3 and 11m3.
• During prolonged use of the appliance, you may consider it necessary to open a window to the outside to improve ventilation.
•  If there are other fuel-burning appliances in the same room, B.S.5440 Part 2 Current Edition, should be consulted to determine the requisite air vent requirements.

FIRST TIME USE DAILY USE

MAIN OVEN
To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting the require temperature between 80°C (176°F) and 250°C (482°F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

It should be noted that at the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal. Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly,and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. However, foods such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven. The ‘oven temperature charts’ are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C. Unless otherwise indicated in the charts food should be placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.

Oven positions
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced.
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities of food.

Food or utensils should Never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for cooking.
Never use more than 4 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.To ensure oven circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15″x12″) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13″x 10″), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf. Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves that are not in use should be removed from the oven.

Temperature and time
When all four shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an equal gap at either side of the oven.

TOP OVEN
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food.The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven.
To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above.
There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from the base), do not use shelves upside down.
Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the oven floor.
There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the top of the food and the grill element.
Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main oven is in use.

Operation

To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise. The top oven pilot light will come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The pilot light will automatically go on and off during cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature. Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted. Top oven as a warming compartment for plates Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on runner 1, turn top oven control to 100°C for 10-15 minutes. Never use grill control.

When the cooker has first used an odor may be emitted, this will cease after a period of use. When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odor avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odor is due to the temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

USING THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB :

The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special non-abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.

Switching the cooking zones on and off:
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise direction. To switch it off again, turn the knob in an anticlockwise direction until it is in the “0” position. If the ELECTRIC HOTPLATE ON indicator light is lit, this shows that at least one hotplate on the hob is switched on.

Cooking azones:
The hob is equipped with electric radiant heating elements. When they are in use the following items on the hob become red.

• The cooking zone.
•  The residual heat indicator light: this indicates that the temperature of the corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C, even when the heating element has been switched off but is still hot.

Cooking zones with radiant heating elements:
They have similar properties to gas burners: they are easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly, allowing you to actually see the power they are providing. Turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise direction, to a position between 1 and 6.

PRACTICAL ADVICE ON USING THE HOB:

• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.

• Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the heat produced.

• Always make sure that the base of the pan is completely clean and dry: this ensures that the pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and that both the pans and the hob last for a longer period of time.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone to become damaged.

INDESIT Tumble Dryer

INDESIT Tumble Dryer

Installation

WHERE TO PUT YOUR DRYER

The dyer should be placed where air can freely circulate around it preferably near a window that can be opened to reduce the possibility of condensation occurring while the dryer is in use.

If the dryer is enclosed or fitted under a work surface a gap of at least 50 mm (2”) must be allowed above the top for the full width of the dryer and at least 25 mm (1”) either side. This allows air to enter into the rear air inlet. The dryer must never be run in a cupboard with a closed door.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The socket must be grounded. The power supply cord should be checked periodically and, if required, replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer.

FLUFF FILTER

You must clean the fluff filter after EVERY drying cycle.

To remove the filter

Step 1 – Open the door of your dryer, remove the filer.
Step 2 – Clean any fluff deposits from the filter mesh, and refit the filter.

Step 3 – Make sure the filter is pushed fully home – NEVER run the dryer without the filter in position.
Failure to clean the filter after EVERY drying cycle will affect the drying performance of your machine.

The dryer must never be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.
This symbol reminds you to read this booklet.

VENTILATION

When the dryer is in use there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length.
The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will obstruct the tube and trap condensation.

• Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.
• Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in damage.
• Always follow electrical standards and requirements. (see Installation).
• Always buy original spare parts and accessories (see Service).

TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF FIRE IN YOUR TUMBLE DRYER, THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE OBSERVED

• Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with detergent and water, rinsed and been through the spin cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT been washed with water.
• Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical products.
• Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously ,especially when exposed
  to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or those that have been contaminated with hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The cool tumble phase should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the dryer and piled or stacked while hot.
• Do not tumble dry items that have previously been cleaned in or washed in, soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances. Highly flammable substances
  commonly used in domestic environments including cooking oil, acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine,
• waxes and wax removers. Ensure these items have been washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
• Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam), or similarly textured rubber like materials. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Fabric softener or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless the practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener product.
•  Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal reinforcements eg. bras with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
• Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof covers, polythene or paper.
• Do not tumble dry rubber backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes.
• Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters.

WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle .The final part of a tumble dryer cycle without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

Indesit Washing Machine Instruction Manual

Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features. ! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging. 2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. 3. Remove the 3 protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure). 4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided. 5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location. ! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else. 2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

 1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab using a ¾ gas threaded connection (see figure). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear. 2. Connect the inlet hose to the washing machine by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top righthand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure). 3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent. ! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical details table (see next page). ! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician. ! Never use second-hand hoses. ! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;   alternatively, rest it on the side of a washbasin or bathtub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see figure). The free end of the hose should not be underwater. ! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable laws;
• the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
• the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
• the socket is compatible with the plug of the washing machine. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

! The washing machine must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather conditions. ! When the washing machine has been installed, the electricity socket must be within easy reach. ! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets. ! The cable should not be bent or compressed. ! The power supply cable must only be replaced by authorised technicians. Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these regulations 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, using the wash cycle 2.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part. ! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber:  1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure);   2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;   3. clean the inside 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 inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open. ! Never use second-hand hoses.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected. 1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 60°C. This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 60°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value. 2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C. This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments which can be washed at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value. For all Test Institutes: 2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C. 3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 6; with a temperature of 40°C. Cotton Standard 20° (wash cycle 7) ideal for heavily soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks. Express (wash cycle 11) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (11 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1,5 kg. Sport Intensive (wash cycle 12) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. Sport Light (wash cycle 13) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load. Special Shoes (wash cycle 14) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.

Personalization

Setting the temperature Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles). The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash . The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle. Setting the spin speed Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle. The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows: Wash cycles        Maximum spin speed Cottons                1200 rpm Synthetics             800 rpm Wool                    800 rpm Silk                      drain only The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol . The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the maximum speed set for each wash cycle. Functions The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time. To activate the functions: 1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function; 2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated. Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the selected wash cycle. Ec Time Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly soiled cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the “Table of wash cycles”). “Ec Time” enables you to wash in less time thereby saving water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity. ! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,  , .   Stain removal Bleaching cycle designed to remove the toughest stains. Please remember to pour the bleach into extra compartment 4 (see “Bleach cycle”). !

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution. ! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. ! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C. ! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging. Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.   compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder) Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed. compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle. compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow the grid. extra compartment 4: Bleach Bleach cycle ! Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool. This option is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn stains. Place extra compartment 4 (supplied) into compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure). To run the bleach cycle on its own, pour the bleach into extra compartment 4, set the “Rinse” programme and activate the “Stain removal” option. To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and any fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired wash cycle and enable the “Stain removal” option. The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the “Pre-wash” option.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to: – the type of fabric/the symbol on the label – the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry: see “Table of wash cycles”.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g 1 pillow case 150-200 g 1 tablecloth 400-500 g 1 bathrobe 900-1200 g 1 towel 150-250 g

Garments requiring special care Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 8, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry. Silk: use special wash cycle 9 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes. Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 9. Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 10. Load balancing system Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
