Connecting the drain hose
• the supply voltage is included within the values
indicated on the Technical details table
(see page 5);
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 socket is compatible with the washer-dryer's
plug. If this is not the case, replace
the socket or the plug.
65 - 100 cm
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused
plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for
immediate use. Before using the appliance please
read the instructions below.
The drain hose may be

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.

blanking cap
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:

Woolmark
As gentle as a hand wash.
Indesit sets a new standard of superior
performance that has been endorsed by The
Woolmark Company with the prestigious Woolmark
brand. Look for the Woolmark logo on the washing
machine to ensure you can safely and effectively
wash wool garments labelled as "hand wash"
(M.00221):
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
(powder)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in
immediately prior to the wash cycle start.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
Set programme 4 for all "Hand wash" garments
(max 1 kg) , using the appropriate detergent.
! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may
form too much foam.
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,
which refer to the weight when dry:
Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg
Wool: max 1 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g

Precautions and advice
! The Washer-dryer was designed and built in
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal
waste 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
compliance with the applicable international safety
regulations. The following information is provided for
your safety and should consequently be read carefully.
GB
General safety
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.
• 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.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
• Never touch the washing machine 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
• Do not open the detergent dispenser while the
appliance is in operation.
If you only see a little water through your appliance
door, this is because thanks to the latest Ariston
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.
• 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 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.
• Always keep children well away from the
appliance while in operation.
• 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.
• 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.
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving
them to soak before washing will cut down the
need to wash them at high temperatures.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during
the drying cycles.
• 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 9) helps to
organise your wash cycles accordingly.
• This washer-dryer can only be used to dry clothes
which have been pre-washed in water.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging material:
observe local regulations, so the packaging can
be re-used.
• 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.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that
old household electrical appliances must not be

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 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.
