Indesit Standard WIL 85 Washing Machine Instructions Manual

Indesit Standard WIL 85 Washing Machine

Installation

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the washing machine to inform the new owner as to its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.
3. Remove the 3 protective screws and the rubber washer with the respaztive spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see figure).
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the
   washing machine needs to be moved to another location.
   ! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other.
2. 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 20.
   Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the washing
   machine.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Insert seal A into the end of the inlet hose and screw the latter onto a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas threaded mouth (see figure).
   Before making the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine, screwing it onto the appliance’s cold water inlet, situated on thc top right-hand side on the rear of the appliance (see figure).
   

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
   ! The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Technical details table (on the next page).
   ! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
   ! Never use hoses that have already been used.

Connecting the drain hose

• Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;
• alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see figure). The free end of the hose should not be underwater.

! 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.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law; the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum power load indicated in the Technical details table (on the right); the supply voltage is included within the values i ndicated on the Technical details table (on the right); the socket is compatible with the washing machine’s plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.
• ! The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even when the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.
• ! When the washing machine is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach. Do not use extensions or multiple
• ! The power supply cable must never be or dangerously compressed.
• ! The power supply cable must only replaced by an authorised serviceman.
  Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.

The first wash cycle
Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, setting the 900C without a pre-wash cycle.

Notes

• -For programmes 8 and 9, we advise against exceeding a wash load of 3.5 kg.
  -For programme 13 we advise against exceeding a wash load of 2 kg.
  -For the anti-crease function: see Easy iron, opposite page. The information contained in the table is purely indicative.

Special programme
Daily (programme 1 1 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts
30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (1 1 at 300C), you can wash
different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.
We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Personalisations

Setting the temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Programme table on page 30).
The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash (9).

Setting the spin speed
Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the programme selected.
The maximum spin speeds for each programme are as follows:

Programmes

• Cottone
• Synthetics
• Wool
• Silk

Maximum spin speed

• 800 rpm
• 800 rpm
• 600 rpm

The spin speed can be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting symbol
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed higher than the maximum speed for each programme.
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.

Functions

To enable a function:

1. 1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below;
   2. the function is enabled when the corresponding button is illuminated.
   Note: The rapid flashing of the button indicates that the corresponding function cannot be selected for the programme set.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won’t neæssarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.

Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows.

• compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder) Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.

• 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.

• extra compartment 4: Bleach ! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam.

Bleach cycle

! Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

Place extra compartment 4, provided, into compartment 1.
When pouring in the bleach, careful not to excæd the “max” level on the æntral pivot (see figure).

To run the bleach cycle alone, the blæch into
extra compartment 4, set the Rinse programme and enable the Stain removal option (see page 31). To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and fabric softener, set the desired programme and enable the Stain removal option (see page 31).
The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the possibility of using the pre-wash cycle.

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
• 1 bathrobe 900-1 ,200 g
• 1 towel 150-250 g

Special items

• Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillowcase or mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 7 which excludes the spin cycle automatically.

• 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.

• wool: tor best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.
  The washing machine was designed and built n cornpliance With the applicable nternatönal safety regulations. The following information is for your safety and should consequently read carefuøy.

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 bad. 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 600C instead of 900C or one at 400C instead of 600C 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 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 31) 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.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water or electricity supply

• 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.

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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

Remove the dispenser by 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 washing machine 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. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front of the washing machine (see figure);
2. unscrew the lid rotating it anti- clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

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.

Troubleshooting

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 36), make sure the problem can’t easily be solved by consulting the following list.

Service

Before calling for Assistance:

• Check whether you can solve the problem on your own (see page 35);
