[. . . ] TEMPERATURE knob: to set the temperature or the cold wash cycle (see page 9). DOOR LOCK Led: to find out whether the washing machine is on and if the appliance door can be opened (see page 7). START/PAUSE button: starts or temporarily interrupts programmes. N.

After about 1 minute you will be able to open the door (when the DOOR LOCK led switches off).

Pressing the button again restarts the programme from the point at which it was interrupted. PROGRAMME/ON-OFF knob: sets the desired programme (see page 8) and switches the machine on or off. The knob stays still during the cycle. 6 Leds The LEDS provide important information.

GB Installation Description Programmes Detergents Precautions Care Troubleshooting Service DOOR LOCK led: If this LED is on, the appliance door is locked to prevent it from being opened accidentally; to avoid any damages, wait for the LED to flash before you open the appliance door.  The rapid flashing of the DOOR LOCK Led together with the flashing of at least one other LED indicates there is an abnormality (see page 13). 7 Starting and Programmes Briefly: starting a programme GB 1. • Never force the washing machine door: this could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent any 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. • 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 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. 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. [. . . ] • Some programs have a slower final spin to taked best care of the fabrics. • The programme does not foresee the draining: some programmes require enabling the draining manually (see page 8). • The Anti crease finction is enabled: to complete the programme, press the START/PAUSE button (see page 9). • Remove the drain hose from the standpipe or under-sink trap and check for blockages, ensuring that the water can drain freely away from the machine.
