Instructions for the Indesit WIUN 102 washing machine

If you're reading this article, it means you have an Indesit WIUN 102 washing machine and, for some reason, you've lost the manual. Even if you don't want to look for it, simply read the abridged version of the manual in this article, and you'll find the answers to your questions. Let's start from the beginning.

Unpacking and connection

Installing and using a washing machine begins with unpacking. Whether it's new or used, you must remove the shipping bolts. Transporting the appliance without them is impossible, as the moving parts may break. So, after removing the packaging, remove these bolts from the back and cover the holes with plastic plugs.

Next, place the machine on a pre-leveled floor, in a location where utilities and a grounded outlet are located no more than 1.5 m away. Follow these steps:

1. Position the washing machine close to where you'll be storing it, and take the inlet hose. Attach the curved end to the outlet on the washing machine.

Don't forget to place a rubber gasket where the hose meets the tube to ensure a tighter connection. Tighten the fitting washer by hand, being careful not to overtighten it.

2. Straighten the drain hose and, if necessary, use the latch on the back wall to secure the top drain point at a height of 65-100 cm.
3. Slide the machine into the niche or under the countertop where it will be located, leaving a gap of at least 1.5 cm between the side walls and other objects. Leave 5-7 cm at the back to avoid pinching the hoses.
4. Run the hoses to the water supply and drain. Connect the inlet hose to the cold water supply, and the drain hose to the outlet in the trap, securing it with a clamp.
5. When moving the machine, don't forget about the power cord, which should be pulled out from the back of the machine and connected to a power outlet. Extension cords and multi-plug adapters are not recommended, and a voltage stabilizer is recommended. However, it's possible to do without one.

When connecting a washing machine, do not extend the drain or inlet hose beyond 1.5 meters. If an extension is necessary, contact a service center. Never use used hoses. Failure to comply with any connection requirements may result in serious consequences, and the manufacturer assumes no liability, even if the machine is under warranty.

Detergent dispenser

After connecting the machine, before the first start-up, which, by the way, should be done at a high temperature and without laundry, familiarize yourself with its basic components. Start with the detergent dispenser, or drawer. cIndesit washing machine In this model it is divided into three stationary compartments:

• the compartment on the far left is for products used for pre-soaking;
• the next compartment is for the main wash;
• The compartment on the far right is needed for air conditioners.

Additionally, there's a fourth compartment that fits into the left-hand compartment and is designed for bleach. This compartment is used only when needed; if you don't plan to bleach your laundry, it's best to remove it.

Starting the wash

The washing program is started via a mechanical control panel with 5 buttons and 2 rotary knobs. To start the program:

1. Plug the machine into the power supply and don’t forget to open the water supply tap.
2. Press the power button (the first button on the right).
3. Load the laundry, close the drum and add detergent.
4. Turn the program selection knob clockwise to the desired program, the number of which you can see on the detergent dispenser.

• Reduce spin speed;
• Bleaching – used for all programs except “Wool”, “Silk” and “Daily wash 30 min”.

Service

When using your "home helper," remember to take care of it. After washing, be sure to wipe it dry with a cloth. If necessary, you can first wipe it with a cloth soaked in soapy water. Avoid using any cleaning products. Wipe off any drips from the control panel, be sure to wipe the rubber seal and drum, and pay close attention to the glass.

Then remove the detergent drawer by gently lifting it and pulling it toward you. Wipe the area underneath the drawer, then rinse the drawer itself. Replace it, but don't close it completely. Let it air out to prevent mold from forming. Keep the door slightly ajar, too. Every six months, wash the drain filter located at the bottom of the washing machine.

Important! After finishing washing, unplug the machine and turn off the water supply. This will protect the machine from power surges and pump damage.
