Indesit XWB71252W UK User Guide

! 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 familiarise himself/

herself with its operation and features.

! Read these instructions carefully: they con-

tain vital information relating to the safe instal-

lation and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking
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 pro-

tective screws (used 

during transportation) 

and the rubber wa-

sher with the cor-

responding 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 ne-

eds to be moved to another location.

! Packaging materials should not be used as 

toys for children.

Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy 

floor, without resting it up against walls, furni-

ture cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not 

perfectly level, com-

pensate for any une-

venness by tightening 

or loosening the 

adjustable front feet 

(see figure); the angle 

of inclination, measu-

red in relation to the 

worktop, must not 

exceed 2°.

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 sup-

ply pipe by screwing 

it to a cold water tap 

using a ¾ gas threa-

ded connection (see 

Before performing the 

connection, allow the 

water to run freely un-

til it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet 

hose to the washing 

machine by screwing 

it onto the correspon-

ding water inlet of the 

appliance, which is 

situated on the top 

right-hand side of the 

rear part of the ap-

pliance (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.
