Indesit IWE81481 ECO (UK) User Guide

Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, 
help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it 
from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or 
a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient 
ventilation space underneath the washing machine.

1. Connect the supply pipe 
by screwing it to a cold 
water tap using a ¾ gas 
threaded connection (see 
figure). 
Before performing the con-
nection, allow the water to 
run freely until it is perfectly 
clear.

2. Connect the inlet hose 
to the washing machine by 
screwing it onto the corre-
sponding water inlet of the 
appliance, which is situa-
ted on the top right-hand 
side of the rear part of the 
appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

!

 The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values 

indicated in the Technical details table (see page 5).

!

 If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised 

shop or an authorised technician.

!

 Never use second-hand hoses.

!

 Use the ones supplied with the machine.

!

 This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for 

future reference. If the washing machine is sold, transferred 
or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains 
with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiari-
se himself/herself with its operation and features.

!

 Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital infor-

mation relating to the safe installation and operation of the 
appliance.

1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been 
damaged during the transportation process. If it has been 
damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any 
further with the installation process.

3. Remove the 4 protective 
screws (used during tran-
sportation) and the rubber 
washer with the correspon-
ding spacer, located on the 
rear part of the appliance 
(see figure).

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them 
again if the washing machine needs to be moved to ano-
ther location.

!

 Packaging materials should not be used as toys for 

children.

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without 
resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything 
else.

2. If the floor is not perfectly 
level, compensate for any 
unevenness by tightening 
or loosening the adjusta-
ble front feet (see figure); 
the angle of inclination, 
measured in relation to the 
worktop, must not exceed 
2°.
