Instructions for washing machine Indesit WITL 86
Some people don’t even know what the instructions for Indesit WITL 86 washing machines look like, and this despite the fact that they have been using the “home assistant” for many years. And it happens that the instructions that came with the machine are thrown away along with the box. After some time, an “emergency” situation arises, a person begins to look for instructions, but there are none. It’s good that you have a computer, the Internet, and in particular our website at hand, where you can find all the necessary information.
Getting the machine ready for work
You need to take care of the place where you plan to place the Indesit WITL 86 machine in advance, especially if you plan to integrate the equipment between pieces of furniture. The base under the machine must be strong and stable. A smooth concrete or tiled floor is best, but a strong wooden base will also work, as long as it is properly prepared.
When organizing a place for the washing machine, do not forget to leave some space for the machine’s communications (hoses, power cord). The space in front of the washing machine body should also be left so that you can freely approach the “home assistant”.
The top of the body must be open, since this is a top-loading machine, so the hatch and control panel are located on top.
In the immediate vicinity of the washing machine body, you need to create connection points to the water supply, sewer drain and electrical network. Do-it-yourself installation and connection of a washing machine We have already described it many times, we will not repeat it. Let us only note that certain requirements are imposed on the communications that provide the washing machine.
- The socket must be separate, wiring with a cross-section of 2.5 mm with grounding, protected by a machine.
- The pressure in the water supply should not be less than 1 bar. If the pressure is low, you can install a special circulation pump.
- The water drain must be raised above the floor level by at least 60 cm. If this is not done and the drain hose is not bent properly, water from the drain may flow back into the machine.
Control panel design
The upper location of the hatch and control panel of the Indesit WITL 86 washing machine is very popular with older people and people with musculoskeletal diseases. Why is that? Everything is very simple, you don’t need to bend over to this machine. Stand calmly at full height, put the laundry in the drum, press the necessary buttons and walk away. No discomfort. Speaking of buttons and other panel elements.
- Rotary handles. This machine has three regulators of this kind. And they are located very conveniently in a row. On the far right is the software selector, slightly to the left is the thermostat knob, and even further to the left is the spin control knob. The system is electromechanical, so there are no surprises, I turned the knob to the desired position and got the result.
- Buttons. The buttons are also conveniently located in a row, right above the switches. The button on the far right is the most important; it turns our “home assistant” on and off. It is impossible to confuse it, since it is larger in size than the others. Even people with vision problems can recognize it without any problems. To the left is the program launch button and then the function buttons.
- Light bulbs. Indicators are also very important, since the WITL 86 model does not have a display, which means that the light bulbs have an important function - transmitting information from the machine to the user.Basically, the indicators show the stages of execution of the washing program and enable/disable certain functions.
Inscriptions and drawings printed on the control panel will tell the user which buttons should be pressed and which not.
Also, a few words should be said about the powder receiver. Of course, the powder receptacle in top-loading washing machines is not part of the control panel, but without it you will not get a quality wash.
The dispenser of the machine, model WITL 86, is located on the inner surface of the hatch cover. It is not like the powder chute of a front loading machine. Its compartments are made in the form of special plastic pockets into which detergent is placed to the specified level. We will describe these pockets from left to right.
- Pocket number one is used only if the selected program includes soaking (pre-wash).
- The second pocket is slightly wider than the first and is used for you to place washing powder or gel during the main wash.
- The third pocket is for air conditioning.
- The fourth pocket is for bleach.
Launch
You should start the Indesit WITL 86 just like any other machine of this brand. Press the large oval-shaped button and wait until the indicator located to the left begins to blink. Next, open the hatch and add detergents to the pockets of the powder receptacle. Now open the inner lids of the drum and put the pre-sorted laundry inside. Close the internal covers and hatch. All that remains is to select the program with the handle, adjust the temperature and spin speed and start with the corresponding button.
If you need to enable any additional function, feel free to press the desired button.
Features of care
To use the machine every day you do not need to refer to the instructions, however, you need to read it at least once. At the end of the document there is very important information about how to carry out maintenance and care. In fact, there is absolutely nothing scary about this.
- Firstly, after finishing washing, do not close the machine tightly, let it air out.
- Secondly, after washing, wipe the drum covers and inner walls with a cloth and don’t forget about the dispenser.
- Thirdly, clean the filters occasionally. The one at the filling valve is once a year, the garbage valve is 2 times a year.
With this we will complete the presentation of a brief version of the instructions for the Indesit WITL 86 machine. If after reading the above material you still have questions, download the full version of the document by clicking on the link below the text. Good luck!
