The information contained in the table is purely indicative. Special programme Daily (programme 9 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 (9 at 30°C), you can wash different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg. 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. 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 washing machine from late in the afternoon until 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. [. . . ] The drain hose is not secured properly (see page 3). Switch off the machine and unplug the appliance; wait for approximately 1 minute then switch it on again. If the problem persists, contact Assistance. The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear the definition "for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash", or the like). [. . . ]
