User manual INDESIT WI 62

[. . . ] Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman. 14 Connecting the drain hose Do not use extensions or multiple sockets. Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor; GB Installation The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed. The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman. Warning! [. . . ] Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows. Special items Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle. They can be washed together with jeans and other tough garments, but not with whites. Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg. GB Installation Description 1 2 3 Programmes 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. Detergents 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. Always keep children well away from the appliance while in operation. Should it have to be moved, proceed with the help of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Before loading your laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty. Saving energy and respecting the environment 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. 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 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 17). The Anti-crease function is enabled (where available): This function requires enabling the draining manually. [. . . ]
