Precautions and advice

! The 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 machine should only be used by adults and in

accordance with the instructions provided in this

manual.

• Never touch the 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 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 machine, make

sure the drum is empty.

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 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 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 machine between late in the

afternoon and the early hours of the morning, you

will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.

• 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.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging material:

observe local regulations, so the packaging can be

re-used.

• Disposing of an old machine:

before scrapping your appliance, cut the power

supply cable and remove the appliance door.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires

that old household electrical appliances must not be

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 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.

Consumers should contact their local

authority or retailer for information

concerning the correct disposal of their old

appliance.
