under-sink trap. Before  
connecting the drain  
hose from the machine  
ensure that any blanks  
or removable ends  
have been taken off  
the spigot.  
Replacing the fuse:  
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA  
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used,  
and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost,  
the plug must not be used until a replacement is  
obtained.  
Replacement fuse covers:  
If it is place over the  
edge of a basin or sink  
be sure the free end of  
the hose should not be  
underwater.  
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of  
the correct colour as indicated by the coloured  
marking or the colour that is embossed in words on  
the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained  
directly from your nearest Service Depot.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug  
and you should wish to re-route the mains cable  
through partitions, units etc., please ensure that  
either:  
! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in  
case of absolute need, the extension must have the  
same diameter as the original hose and must not  
exceed 150 cm in length.  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-  
wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable  
outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with  
BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the  
appliance.  
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a  
standpipe, that the end does not go down more  
than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down  
too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon  
ie. continuously empty as it is filling.  
Disposing of the plug:  
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you  
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be  
accidentally inserted into a socket.  
Electric connection  
Before plugging the appliance into the mains  
socket, make sure that:

Door Mounting Accessories (Fig. 1-2-3-4-5).  
GB  
Mounting the wooden panel onto the door and  
inserting the machine into cabinets:  
In the case where the machine must be shipped for final  
installation after the wooden panel has been mounted, we  
suggest leaving it in its original packaging. The packaging  
was designed to make it possible to mount the wooden  
panel onto the machine without removing it completely  
(see figures below).  
N° 2 Hinge Supports  
Fig. 1  
The wooden panel that covers the face of the machine  
must not be less than 18 mm in thickness and can be  
hinged on either the right or left. For the sake of  
practicality when using the machine, we recommend that  
the panel be hinged on the same side as the door for the  
machine itself - the left.

Using the Drilling Template.  
GB  
- To trace the positions of the holes on the left-hand side  
of the panel, align the drilling template to the top left side  
of the panel using the lines traced on the extremities as a  
reference.  
- To trace the positions of the holes on the right-hand  
side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top  
right side of the panel.  
- Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for  
the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.  
Fig. 8  
Fig. 9  
Mounding the Parts onto the Wooden Panel (Door).  
- Insert the hinges into the holes (the movable part of the  
hinge must be positioned facing away from the panel) and  
fasten them with the 4 type A screws.  
Accessories provided for the height adjustment.  
The following can be found inside the polystyrene lid (fig. 10):  
2 crossbars (G), 1 strip (M)  
the following can be found inside  
the appliance drum:  
- Insert the magnet into the top hole on the opposite side  
of the hinges and fasten it with the two type B screws.  
- Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole.  
4 additional feet (H),  
4 screws (I),  
The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.  
4 screws (R),  
4 nuts (L),  
Mounting the Panel into the machine.  
Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in fig. 2)  
into the hole for the hinge and push the panel towards the  
front of the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type  
D screws.  
2 plinth guides (Q)  
Fig. 10  
Adjusting the appliance height.  
Fastening the plinth guide.  
The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from 815 mm  
to 835 mm), by turning the 4 feet.  
If the machine is installed at the end of a set of modular  
cabinets, mount either one or both of the guides for the  
base molding (as shown in fig. 8). Adjust them for depth  
based on the position of the base molding, and, if  
necessary, fasten the base to the guides (fig. 9).  
This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8):  
Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q into  
the special slot and once it is in the desired position, lock  
it in place using angle P and screw R.  
Should you require the appliance to be placed higher than  
the above height, you need to use the following accessories  
to raise it to up to 870 mm:  
the two crossbars (G); the 4 feet (H); the 4 screws (I); the 4  
nuts (L) then perform the following operations (fig. 11):  
remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at the front of  
the appliance, fastening it in place using screws I (screwing  
them in where the original feet were) then insert the new feet H.  
Repeat the same operation at the back of the appliance.  
Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance from 835  
mm to 870 mm.  
Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.  
- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the  
cabinets (fig. 6).  
Once you have reached the desired height, lock nuts L onto  
crossbar G.  
- Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the  
appropriate height.  
To adjust the appliance to a height between 870 mm and  
900 mm, you need to mount strip M, adjusting feet H to the  
required height.  
- To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the  
vertical and horizontal directions, use the C and D  
screws, as shown in fig. 7.  
Insert the strip as follows:  
Important: close the lower part of the appliance front by  
ensuring that the plinth rests against the floor.  
loosen the three screws N situated at the front of the Top  
cover of the appliance, insert strip M as shown in fig. 12,  
then fasten screws N.

Note: to avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner  
by continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed.  
When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than  
the set frequency.  
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.  
The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

! The Washer-dryer was designed and built in  
stream. Old appliances must be collected  
separately in order to optimise the recovery and  
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce  
the impact on human health and the environment.  
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the  
product reminds you of your obligation, that when  
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately  
collected.  
compliance with the applicable international safety  
regulations. The following information is provided for  
your safety and should consequently be read carefully.  
GB  
General safety  
• This appliance has been designed for non-  
professional, household use and its functions must  
not be changed.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct  
disposal of their old appliance.  
• This washer-dryer should only be used by  
adults and in accordance with the instructions  
provided in this manual.  
• Never touch the washer-dryer when barefoot  
or with wet or damp hands or feet.  
Saving energy and respecting the  
environment  
• Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug  
the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the  
plug out yourself.  
Environmentally-friendly technology  
If you only see a little water through your appliance  
door, this is because thanks to the latest Indesit  
technology, your washer-dryer only needs less than  
half the amount of water to get the best results: an  
objective reached to respect the environment.  
• 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 washer-dryer door: this could  
damage the safety lock mechanism designed to  
prevent any accidental openings.  
Saving on detergent, water, energy and time  
• 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.  
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any  
circumstances touch internal parts in order to  
attempt repairs.  
• 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.  
• Always keep children well away from the  
appliance while in operation.  
• The appliance door tends to get quite hot during  
the wash cycle.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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).  
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or  
similar elastomers.  
• If you use your washer-dryer 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 11) 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.  
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during  
the drying cycles.  
Disposal  
• Disposing of the packaging material:observe local  
regulations, so the packaging can be re-used.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that  
old household electrical appliances must not be  
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste

Care and maintenance  
Cutting off the water or electricity supply  
2. clean the interior thoroughly;  
GB  
3. screw the lid back on.  
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will  
limit the wear of your appliance's water system  
and also prevent leaks.  
Checking the water inlet hose  
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and  
during all maintenance operations.  
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.  
Cleaning your appliance  
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.  
! Never use hoses that have already been used.  
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.  
Caring for your appliance door and drum  
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent  
unpleasant odours from forming.  
Cleaning the pump  
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.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug  
the appliance.  
To access the pre-chamber:  
1. unscrew the lid  
rotating it anti-  
clockwise (see figure): a  
little water may trickle  
out. This is perfectly  
normal;

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 11).  
• 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 10).

approximately 1 minute then switch it on again.  
If the problem persists, contact Assistance.  
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 washer-dryers" 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.
