The operating instructions for the Indesit W105TX washing machine were created by the manufacturer in a style unusual for such documents. All text is accompanied by funny pictures that fit well into the instructions along with informative images. Apparently the manufacturer decided to increase the attractiveness of this document for the user, so that people would at least flip through it before turning on the machine. In this sense, our goals and the goals of the manufacturer coincide, so we decided to make the instructions simpler and more attractive.
Connecting the drain hose
Hang the bent end of the drain hose on the edge of a sink, bathtub, or place it in a special sewer outlet. The hose must not be kinked. The top point of the drain hose should be at a height of 65-100 cm from the floor. The location of the drain hose should ensure that the stream breaks when draining (the end of the hose should not be lowered into the water). In case of mounting on the edge of a bathtub or sink, the hose is hung using a guide (included in delivery), which is attached to the faucet (Fig.).
! The use of extensions for the drain hose is not recommended; if necessary, it can be extended with a hose of the same diameter and a length of no more than 150 cm.
Electrical connection.
Attention! The equipment must be grounded!
1. The machine is connected to the electrical network using a two-pole socket with a grounding contact (the socket is not supplied with the machine). The phase wire must be connected through a circuit breaker designed for a maximum current (operation current) of 16 A, and with an operation time of no more than 0.1 s.
2. If there is a socket with a grounding contact near the intended installation site of the machine, which has a three-wire cable connection with copper conductors with a cross-section of at least 1.5 square meters. mm (or aluminum conductors with a cross-section of at least 2.5 sq. mm), the electrical network is not modified. If the specified socket and wiring are missing, they must be installed.
3. Laying grounding with a separate wire is not allowed.
4. To modify the electrical network, it is recommended to use wire type PPV 3x1.5 380 GOST 6223-79. It is allowed to use other brands of cable that ensure fire and electrical safety during operation of the machine. Before connecting the machine to the network, make sure that:
• the socket and wiring comply with the requirements set out in this section of the instructions;
•voltage and frequency of the network current correspond to the machine data;
•socket and plug of the same type;
•The outlet is grounded in accordance with the safety standards described in this section of the instructions. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, it must be replaced with a new one that matches the outlet, or the power cable must be replaced. Cable replacement should only be carried out by qualified personnel. The use of adapters, double or more sockets and extension cords is prohibited (they create a fire hazard). If you consider their use necessary, use only one extension cord that meets safety requirements. Equipment connected in violation of the safety requirements for high-power household appliances set out in this manual is potentially dangerous.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damage to health or property if it is caused by failure to comply with the specified installation standards.

Energy saving and environmental protection Eco-friendly technology With the new Indesit technology, you will spend half as much water, and the washing effect will be twice as high! That's why you can't see the water through the door: there's very little of it. This is caring for the environment without sacrificing maximum cleanliness. And on top of that, you save electricity.
Saving detergents, water, electricity and time
• To save resources, you should load the Indesit WISL 105 washing machine as much as possible. One wash cycle with a full load instead of two cycles with a half-loaded drum can save up to 50% of energy.
• The prewash cycle is only necessary for very dirty laundry. The prewash cycle uses more detergent, time, water and 5 to 15% more electricity.
• Treating stains with stain remover or soaking your laundry before washing will help avoid washing at high temperatures. Using a wash program at 60°C instead of 90°C, or 40°C instead of 60°C, saves up to 50% energy.
• The correct dosage of washing powder, depending on the hardness of the water, the degree of soiling and the volume of laundry loaded, helps to avoid wastage of detergent and environmental pollution: although washing powders are biodegradable, they contain substances that negatively affect the environment. Also, avoid using mouthwash if possible.
• Using the Indesit WISL 105 washing machine in the morning or evening will reduce the peak load on the power grid.
• If laundry is to be dried in the automatic dryer, select a higher spin speed. Intensive spin will save time and energy during automatic drying.
Cutting off water and electricity
