Indesit WD 125 T manual Water inlet hose, Never exaggerate with doses

Easy Care and Maintenance

Treat your machine well and it will provide many years of trouble free service

Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.

Your washer-dryer is designed to provide reliable service over many years. A few simple steps will help to prolong its life and avoid problems. It is advisable, to turn off water taps when the machine is not to be used, this protects the hoses, etc.

If the water in your area is too hard, use a deliming product (water is hard if it often leaves whitish stains around taps or drains, especially of bath tubs.

For more accurate information as to the type of water in your system, call the local water works or a local plumber).

Pockets must always be emptied removing even pins, badges and any other hard object.

The washer-dryer exterior should be cleaned with a rag dipped in lukewarm water and soap.

It is important to wash the detergent dispenser regularly.

To prevent dried washing

powder from

accumulating, place the dispenser under running water for a few minutes.

Never exaggerate with doses.

Normal detergents already contain deliming agents. Only if the water is particularly hard, that is, rich in lime content, do we recommend the use of a specific product at every wash. A periodical wash cycle with a dose of a deliming product, without detergents or washing, may prove useful.

Never use too much detergent or additives because this could cause an excess amount of foam, scaling and possible damage to the component parts of your washer-dryer.

Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can cause damage to your washer-dryer.

When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.

The washer-dryer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.

Attention: Before attempting to examine this pre-chamber, first ensure that the machine has finished its programme and is empty. Unplug the machine, as with any maintenance.

To gain access gently ease down the top of the plinth panel situated at
the base of the machine, with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then
ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place
a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catch
the small amount of water present. Release the cover by turning anti-
clockwise (Fig. 2). Ensure that the cover is securely replaced.	Fig. 2
Re-fit the plinth cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge into
the slots and ease the top edge back into position.

The water inlet hose

Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washer-dryer, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.
