Indesit WIL 1000 OT: Detergents and laundry

Detergents and laundry

Preparing your laundry

GB

 Divide your laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.

- the colours: separate coloured garments from

whites.

 Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.

 Do not exceed the maximum load values shown

in the "Programme table".

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special items

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow

case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without

exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme

which excludes the spin cycle automatically.

Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are

padded with goose or duck down, they can be

machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and

load a maximum of 3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle

once or twice.

Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,

taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.

Sportswear: use the "Special Sport"

programme. It is possible to run an initial pre-wash

phase, which is useful for removing soil or mud

residues from the garments. To use this phase, pour

powder detergent into compartment 1 of the

detergent drawer (see Washing machine

description).

The pre-wash phase will not run if the timer knob is

set to a duration between 30 minutes and 1 hour

(inclusive).

Load-balancing system

To avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin

cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform

manner by continuously rotating the drum at a

speed which is slightly faster than the normal

washing speed.

When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still

not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower

speed than the set frequency.

If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine

attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.

The balancing attempts may extend the total duration

of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.
