We present a condensed version of the Indesit IWUB 4085 manual. We hope you find it helpful.

We find a place, install and connect

Decide in advance where you will place your Indesit IWUB 4085 washing machine. Make sure there is sufficient space and at least one centimeter of clearance between the machine and surrounding objects. Take careful measurements of the machine's frame in the store, especially if you plan to install it in a cabinet.

Also, ensure access to utilities in advance: water supply, sewerage, and electrical outlet. It would be a good idea to plan the connection to these utilities in advance. If this is all in order, take a few preliminary steps:

• carefully remove the packaging;
• Carefully inspect the washing machine; there may be scratches or other signs of damage on the body. If so, inform the seller;
• Next, you need to unscrew the transport screws and remove the rubber plugs;

Be careful! The washing machine is very heavy, do not move it alone.

With the help of movers, we position the Indesit IWUB 4085 washing machine and begin connecting it. First, connect the drain hose to the trap, either directly to the drain pipe outlet or simply drop it into the sink. Connecting the hose to the trap is easier and more attractive, as it can be placed under the sink. washing machine siphon, a matter of five minutes, whereas the sewer pipe still needs to be installed.

The inlet hose must first be connected to the tee faucet, and then the faucet must be connected directly to the water supply. This is done so that you can shut off the water supply to the machine without shutting off the water to the entire house. We tighten the hose carefully, but do not overtighten it. Don't forget to insert rubber seals and seal the connections. The threaded hole diameter is ¾ inch.

Now a few words about the washing machine outlet. The Indesit IWUB 4085 "home helper" must have its own dedicated outlet, rated for the load it will provide. No adapters or extension cords are required. The outlet housing must be moisture-resistant. Additionally, the outlet must be protected with a residual-current circuit breaker for safety.

How to use the powder tray

Washing results often depend on the effectiveness of your detergents, as the programs and features of a modern washing machine can only account for half the success. Before you start washing, figure out how to use the detergent drawer. The detergent drawer in the Indesit IWUB 4085 washing machine consists of three fixed compartments and one removable compartment. The image below shows the detergent drawer, which is installed on this model.

1. The compartment under the number 1 is intended for pre-washing and, under normal conditions, there is no need to pour powder there.
2. Compartment #2 is the most commonly used compartment, as it's where you pour washing powder during a regular wash cycle. If you look closely, you'll see that this compartment is larger than the others and is located right in the middle, crowding the other compartments. You can pour laundry gels into this compartment, but only with 1-2 minutes left before the machine starts, otherwise the gel will drip down.
3. The compartment marked with number 3 is for pouring rinse aid into it; powder should never be poured into it.
4. The fourth compartment is removable. It's installed only when needed, to run the whitening cycle and, accordingly, to fill it with bleach.

Caution! Only use machine-safe detergent in the Indesit IWUB 4085 washing machine's detergent drawer. Hand-washing detergent causes excessive foaming, which can damage the electronics of your home assistant.

Starting the first and subsequent washes

A brand new washing machine is far from clean inside. Dust, machine oil residue, and sometimes even mold can accumulate inside the hoses. Therefore, when starting a new machine for the first time, you should do so without laundry and wash it at the highest temperature. You can also add a special cleaning product for the inside of a washing machine—it won't hurt. Here's how to do it.

• We turn on the washing machine using a special button on the control panel.
• Turn the program selection knob to the “cotton” position.
• We set the washing temperature to 90 degrees.
• We open the tray and pour in the cleaning agent for the inside of the machine.
• We close the tray and the hatch.
• We press the “start” button and wait for the program to finish.

The main wash is done in the same way. However, at first, you may have difficulty choosing programs and additional functions. Symbols on an Indesit washing machine, or more precisely, on its control panel. To understand the meaning of each symbol, read the article posted on our website.

Caring for a "home helper"

Routine maintenance of the Indesit IWUB 4085 washing machine is simple. It doesn't require much time or effort. First, use a pre-soaped cloth to clean the rubber seals, the interior of the drum, the drawer, the front panel, the lid, and the side walls. Then, wipe everything again with a damp cloth. Avoid using any special liquid cleaners, let alone abrasive cleaners.

After washing, leave the door slightly open to allow ventilation inside the machine. The same should be done with the detergent drawer. The drawer often becomes clogged with detergent residue, so it requires special attention when cleaning it.

To remove the detergent drawer, press the tab located in the fabric softener compartment and simultaneously pull the drawer towards you.

The debris filter also needs to be cleaned occasionally. You'll find it under the narrow front panel at the bottom of the washing machine. The filter simply unscrews, and the insides can be rinsed and cleaned with a cloth and soapy water. Also, check the inlet hose at least occasionally. If you notice the slightest sign of damage, it should be replaced.
