Instructions for washing machine Indesit WIUN 81
The instruction manual for the Indesit WIUN 81 washing machine contains a huge number of tips that will be useful to a novice user of an automatic “home assistant”. However, there is so much information that you can easily get lost in it, especially if you read everything. We decided to highlight the main points from the instructions and present this information in the article. This is what we got.
We will adjust, install and connect
You should always start using your washing machine with proper unpacking and inspection. What is meant? The box should be opened carefully in case the equipment has to be returned to the store. Next, you should carefully inspect the front panel for scratches, chips, or more serious damage, such as fallen buttons or torn handles. Make sure that the washing machine comes with: an inlet and drain hose, a warranty card, feet and an instruction manual.
If everything is in order, you can remove the shipping bolts, plug the resulting holes with plugs and drag the machine to the installation location. You should use someone's help to move the washing machine as it is very heavy.
The installation site of the washing machine must be prepared in advance: level and strengthen the floor, install communications, move apart objects that interfere with installation.
Having moved the machine to its permanent location, you should take a building level and level its body. It’s better to place it perfectly level, but if it doesn’t work perfectly, then allow a difference of no more than 2 degrees.You can level the Indesit WIUN 81 machine by alternately unscrewing the legs. Next we do the following.
- We connect the inlet hose to a cold or hot water supply, not forgetting to put in the rubber O-rings. Connections should be as tight as possible.
- We connect the second end of the drain hose to the sewer or sink siphon. The first end of the hose is already connected to the body of the washing machine. How best to organize the connection of such a hose you can read in the article How to connect the washing machine drain hose to the sewer.
- Having made sure that the hoses are connected properly, we insert the power cord plug into a pre-prepared moisture-resistant socket and check our new “home assistant”.
Control elements
To start using the Indesit WIUN 81 washing machine effectively, you need to study its main control elements. What elements are we talking about?
- Dispenser;
- Control panel buttons;
- Control panel indicators;
- Control panel program selection knob.
In fact, the control elements of this brand of machine are very simply designed, which means you can figure them out on a whim, without resorting to instructions. However, everyone's abilities are different, so we will briefly describe each of these elements and tell you about their purpose.
The first on our list is a dispenser or, as it is also called, a powder cuvette. We dedicated a whole paragraph to it, so we won’t talk about it now, but will go straight to the buttons. The buttons on the control panel are designed to solve various tasks and there are four in total. The largest button is located immediately above the program selection knob. It is needed to turn the power supply of the “home assistant” on and off.The next button, counting from right to left, starts the program or stops it if necessary. The third and fourth buttons are needed to select functions.
In addition to the buttons, the control panel has 6 indicators. Two indicators are located above the function selection buttons and notify the user which function is disabled and which is activated. To the left of the button there is an indicator that shows that the car’s power is on (blinks), and also that the hatch is locked (lit). Immediately below the “Indesit icon” there are three indicators indicating the current washing phase:
- upper indicator – washing;
- middle indicator - rinsing;
- bottom indicator - spin.
The powder receptacle displays a list of programs and functions supported by the washing machine. It may come in handy, if, of course, the machine is Russified.
Powder cuvette
In order for the Indesit machine to wash in the best possible way, you need to learn how to use the powder receptacle correctly. The powder cuvette of this automatic washing machine is extremely simple. If you open it, you will see only three compartments.
- Compartment No. 1, counting from left to right, is for prewash. If the wash program involves soaking, place the powder in this compartment.
- Compartment No. 2 is the most popular, since during the main wash the detergent must be placed in it.
- And finally, compartment No. 3, which has a slightly different design, is intended for the air conditioner.
Remember! You need to pour conditioner or liquid product into the cuvette immediately before washing. Otherwise, it will flow into the drum and may ruin the laundry placed there.
We service the machine
The good thing about an automatic washing machine is that it doesn’t require constant attention.However, you shouldn’t completely abandon her to the mercy of fate, otherwise, after a while, she will pull out some unpleasant trick. After each wash, it is very important to turn off the water and disconnect the equipment from the power supply.. Also, after each wash, you just need to thoroughly wipe and ventilate the machine. Under no circumstances should you clog the hatch or powder receptacle, as this will cause mold or worse to grow in the washing machine.
Remove the powder cuvette by lifting and pulling it towards you in order to rinse it of any remaining powder. You don't need to do this every time, but sometimes it is necessary. Don't forget to unscrew and clean the garbage filter. Read the article on how to do this. How to open and clean the filter in an Indesit washing machine? If the Indesit WIUN 81 washing machine breaks down, the instructions are unlikely to help you solve the problem, you need to contact a specialist.
This is what the shortened version of the instructions for the Indesit WIUN 81 washing machine looks like. If after reading it you still have questions, look at the factory version of this document. Good luck!
