Instructions for washing machine Indesit WISL 83
The Indesit WISL 83 washing machine is a fairly old model among the machines of this brand. Some have been using it for more than 6 years; the age of some Italian representatives reaches 12 years. Sooner or later, a malfunction occurs in the operation of the equipment, the user begins to read the instructions, but the printed version may end up without a Russian translation. Don’t worry, this instruction has already been translated and posted on the Internet more than once. We invite you to familiarize yourself with it; most likely, you will find what you need.
How to connect?
Most instructions for Indesit washing machines begin with a description of unpacking and installing the device. There is nothing difficult in this work, given that you have everything prepared, namely:
- the installation site is leveled;
- cold water is supplied or a splitter and tap are installed on the cold water mixer;
- a siphon was installed on the sink with an outlet for draining waste water from the washing machine;
To the lead! You can organize a drain directly into the bathtub or toilet, but this method is unsafe and not aesthetically pleasing.
- an electrical outlet is connected, grounded in accordance with all safety regulations (a three-core cable with a cross-section of 1.5 sq. mm is used, a difavtomat is available).
After unpacking the washing machine and inspecting it, you need to remove the transport retaining bolts from the back of the equipment and close the holes with plugs. Next, we place the machine closer to the installation site and begin to connect the hoses. The inlet hose is screwed by hand with fitting washers, one end to the water supply outlet, and the other end to the machine. This is one of the simplest ways, but you can also connect to a faucet in the kitchen or to the bathroom faucet.
Organizing the drain shouldn't cause you any problems either. The nuance is to prevent the drain hose from being pulled tight and causing self-draining. To do this, you need to properly secure the upper drain point, which is described in detail not so much in the instructions, but on our website in the article How to connect a drain hose to a sewer.
With a properly installed socket, connecting to the network means inserting the plug into the socket. If there is no such outlet, forget about extension cords and adapters. Call an electrician who will lay the cable and do everything according to the requirements.
Description of the machine
We will not describe the entire design of the washing machine; it is important for the user to know only how the powder dispenser and the control panel are designed, and we will focus on them. The control panel of the Indesit WISL 83 washing machine is equipped with three selectors and six buttons. Selectors are intended (from left to right) for:
- spin speed control;
- choosing the washing temperature;
- selecting the program indicated by the number. There are 13 such programs in total, the decoding of the names of which is presented on the front of the powder receiver.
The button required to turn on the machine is the largest button, next to it is the program start or pause button. The remaining 4 buttons allow you to select additional functions (from left to right):
- delayed start of washing;
- removing stains, which requires bleaching or additional washing; this function cannot be used simultaneously with the ironing function;
- easy ironing - involves stopping the machine with water in the drum and then draining it by selecting the appropriate program;
- additional rinse.
The powder dispenser in this machine is located on the left side. The powder is poured into the middle compartment during the main wash, and into the left compartment during the preliminary wash.To soften the laundry, use conditioner, which is poured into the compartment on the right. In case of bleaching, you need to insert a removable container into the outermost compartment on the left and pour the bleaching agent into it.
Important! Bleach should not contain chlorine, firstly, it spoils the fabric, and secondly, it negatively affects the internal parts of the machine.

Tell me what is written? What kind of wash from 1 to 13 points? Over time, the numbers were erased, and the passport disappeared somewhere.
How do I wash my white down jacket?
Do I understand correctly that you can set any desired mode (1-13), and then manually adjust the temperature and spin? Those. Is it possible to select the 1st program, which heats the water to 90 degrees and reduce the temperature to 30-40 degrees by manually selecting the temperature? Those. will the machine wash “intensively/cotton”, but at 30-40 degrees and spin at the selected speed?
