Instructions for installation and use

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 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 trap.
To solve this problem, a
special valve must be
installed.

Before calling, read the following

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.

Has the Start/Reset button
been pressed?
If it is, then a programmed start
has been set.

Is the water supply turned
on?
 For safety reasons, if the
washing machine does not
load water, it cannot start a
wash cycle.

RIGHT      WRONG

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?
