Detergents and laundry Detergent dispenser Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute 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.
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.
Troubleshooting Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 16), make sure the problem can't easily be solved by consulting the following list. Problem The washing machine won't start. The wash cycle won't start. The washing machine fails to load water.
Service Before calling for Assistance: • Check whether you can solve the problem on your own (see page 15); • Restart the programme to check whether the problem has been solved; • If this is not the case, contact an authorised Technical Service Centre on the telephone number provided on the guarantee certificate.
