Precautions and advice
! The washing 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.
General safety
• This appliance has been designed for non-
professional, household use and its functions must
not be changed.
• This washing machine should only be used by
adults and in accordance with the instructions
provided in this manual.
• 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.
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very
high temperatures.
• Never force the washing 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.
• 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 washing
machine, make sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging material:
observe local regulations, so the packaging can be
re-used.
• Disposing of an old washing machine:
before scrapping your appliance, cut the power
supply cable and remove the appliance door.
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 washing machine only needs less
than half the amount of water to get the best results:
an objective reached to respect the environment.
Saving on detergent, water, energy and time
• To avoid wasting resources, the washing 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 washing machine between late in
the afternoon and the early hours of the morning,
you will help reduce the electricity board’s peak
load. The Delay Timer option (
see page 7 see page 7
see page 7 see page 7 see page 7 ) helps to
organise your wash cycles accordingly.
• 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.
