Why do you need instructions?

Regardless of the model and brand of the SMA, the first thing the user should do is take the time to read the instructions. This is where you can find answers to most questions. Most often they look there to understand the control panel. Subsequently, having remembered the designations and essence of the proposed programs, washing machine owners can easily and quickly select the desired options.

Special modes in popular Indesit models

• WG1035txc. A distinctive feature of this modification is the presence of additional settings for each main program.

Indesit program table: description and designations

What does Indesit offer?

Mode is a process characterized by certain conditions. The temperature, drum rotation speed, time and goal vary. A program is a specific procedure, which, differing in washing conditions, can consist of several modes.

Basic

1. Cotton. T-shirt or cotton box drawn. The user can select options with different temperatures and durations:

• 90–95 degrees is a good option if you need to wash stained kitchen towels. The drum is fully loaded. And the cycle time is almost 3 hours.
• 60 degrees. With intensive washing, the process is shorter, since the soaking step is eliminated. Duration is reduced to 2.5 hours. This option is chosen for heavily soiled white items - tablecloths, towels, bed linen.
• 40 degrees. Recommended for colored products. Duration - about 2.5 hours.

1. Synthetics. A flask with temperature indication is shown. There are two options:

• 60 °C - 1 hour 25 minutes.
• 40 °C - gentle version, lasting 1 hour 11 minutes. Loading - 50%. This is usually 2.5–3.5 kg, depending on the model.

1. Wool. A skein of thread is drawn. For wool and cashmere items. Duration - 55 minutes. Temperature: 40°C. Spin speed is reduced.
2. Silk. The picture shows a T-shirt. For curtains made of thin fabrics, for viscose and underwear. They are washed at 30°C for 55 minutes. Load the drum by about 20% - up to 1–1.5 kg. There is no spin.

Some models may contain separate modes, without an emphasis on fabric. Washing available:

• Preliminary. Use instead of soaking. Gently rotate in slightly warm (30 °C) water.
• Daily (everyday) is a standard program for quickly washing lightly soiled items.
• Intense. For cotton and linen. Hot water - up to 95 °C. This is an analogue of “cotton 90 °C”.
• Delicate - similar to “wool”. You can wash completely different fabrics that have one thing in common - special requirements for process conditions. Wool, organza, lycra and other delicate materials are washed at 40 degrees.

Additional

They are chosen for specific items, taking into account the fabric and degree of contamination:

• Jeans. The icon matches the name. Created specifically for denim products. Wash at 40 degrees. Loading - up to 2.5 kg. Drum speed is reduced.
• Quick wash mode. The picture is a clock. The express version allows you to wash things in a quarter of an hour. Loading - about one and a half kg. Temperature: 30°C.
• Shoes. The picture shows a sneaker. Designed for sports shoes - sneakers, suede sneakers. Wash in lukewarm water, two pairs at a time. Cycle duration: 50 minutes.
• Sportswear. There are models with two options - regular and intensive. The water is heated to 30 °C. Time - 1 hour 20 minutes.

SMA "Indesit" also has special functions:

• additional rinse - intuitive designation - variations on the theme of drops and a basin of water;
• spin - a pattern in the form of a twisted spiral;
• Eco Time - reduces time and water consumption. Compatible with synthetics and cotton 40.
• easy ironing - iron drawn;
• delayed start - icon with a clock.

Quick wash programs

Many users prefer to divide washes by time, which takes a full cycle. Short programs allow you to gently wash items very quickly. Modern Indesit machines offer five quick wash options depending on the degree of soiling and type of fabric. The duration of the programs is from 15 minutes to 1 hour.

Long programs are used for washing heavily soiled items. For cotton fabrics, the cycle duration takes from 2.5 (40, 60°C) to 3 (90-95°C) hours. Washing synthetic clothes takes 1 hour 10 minutes at 60°C or 1 hour 25 minutes at 60°C.

A full wash cycle for delicate fabrics in most washing machine models lasts 55 minutes.

What buttons and selectors are there?

Any Indesit SMA has the following elements on the control panel:

• Program switch. There are icons on the panel, duplicated with pictures. The consumer turns the selector to select the desired option.
• Temperature switch. If the user selects a specific program, the temperature is set automatically. But thanks to the selector, you can adjust the water heating.
• Speed ​​switch. The rotation speed of the drum can also be changed - in any direction.
• Start/stop or on/off button. Activates and deactivates the machine. Near the button there is an LED indicating the state of the device.

Also on Indesit machines, depending on the model, there are additional buttons:

• 50% load. It is pressed if you need to wash several items. Saving water and electricity.
• Reducing the spin speed. Use for delicate fabrics.
• Super rinse. For thorough rinsing.
• Cold wash. For delicate materials and not very dirty things.
• Disabling spin.

How to set the desired mode?

The selection is made using the programmer knob. There are inscriptions and icons around the selector switch. On older models there are no verbal designations - only icons, hence the problems with choice. It happens that the owners of the machines do not understand the images, then they need instructions to decipher the symbols. In the new models, the manufacturer took this omission into account - all icons are duplicated with words.

Before you set the mode, you need to sort the things that you are going to wash. Evaluate them by type of fabric, color, degree of soiling. Taking these positions into account, a decision is made: choose a ready-made program or customize your own. If preference falls on the second option, then the user selects:

• temperature;
• duration of the process;
• rotational speed.

Whether a ready-made program is included or your own is being configured, the user can add additionally:

• soak;
• rinsing;
• light ironing;
• spin

The process can be delayed for a certain time, depending on the duration of the timer. Typically, the maximum delayed start time is 24 hours. Descriptions of the modes can be read in the instructions.

Detergents and types of laundry (Indesit IWSB 5085 (CIS)F062908)

Detergent dispenser.

A good washing result also depends on the correct dosage of detergent: excess detergent does not guarantee more effective washing; on the contrary, it contributes to the formation of deposits inside the Indesit IWSB 5085 CIS washing machine and environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand wash detergents as they create too much foam. Remove the dispenser and place detergent or additive in it in the following order.

Compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder) Before loading laundry detergent, make sure that compartment 4 for bleach is not installed. Compartment 2: laundry detergent (powder or liquid) Liquid detergent is poured in immediately before starting the machine. Compartment 3: Additives (softeners, fragrances, etc.) Do not fill rinse aid compartment 3 above the grid. Additional compartment 4: Bleach and delicate bleach! Do not use detergents intended for hand washing - the resulting abundant foam worsens the washing result and can damage the Indesit IWSB 5085 CIS washing machine. Whitening! Regular bleach is used when washing durable white fabrics; Delicate bleach can be used on colored, synthetic and wool fabrics.

Tray 4 for bleach is inserted into compartment 1 of the detergent dispenser. Do not fill Tray 4 above the max mark (see illustration). To carry out bleaching only, pour bleach into additional insert 4, select the “Rinse” program and use the “Bleaching” function.

To whiten during the washing process, add washing powder and softener, select the desired program and use the “Whitening” function. The use of additional insert 4 eliminates the possibility of using pre-wash.

Preparing the laundry • Separate the laundry according to the following criteria: - type of fabric / designation on the label. - color: separate colored laundry from white. • Remove all items from pockets and check buttons. • Do not exceed the maximum drum load specified for dry laundry: Durable fabrics: max. 5 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 2.5 kg Delicates: max. 2 kg Wool: max. 1 kg Silk: max. 1 kg How much does laundry weigh? 1 sheet 400-500 gr. 1 pillowcase 150-200 gr. 1 tablecloth 400-500 gr. 1 robe 900-1200 gr. 1 towel 150-250 gr. Items that require delicate washing Wool: in program 7 mode of the Indesit IWSB 5085 CIS washing machine you can wash any woolen items, including items labeled “hand wash only”.

Features of the work of SMA "Indesit"

When using Indesit washing machines, follow these rules:

• Please note the maximum permissible drum load.
• Sort your laundry by color, type of fabric, color fastness and presence of decor (embroidery, beads, rhinestones, etc.). The presence of decorative decorations is a reason to use special bags.
• Read the labels on things - what is allowed and what is prohibited for a particular product.
• Check your pockets - this will prevent damage to the SMA.
• Turn sweaters, shirts and other clothes inside out - this will improve the quality of washing.
• It is forbidden to wash many large items at the same time so as not to disturb the balance of the drum.
• When pressing the “start” button, make sure that the device is turned on.
• When choosing a mode, turn the selector to the desired position. If necessary, adjust the process parameters using special switches. After adjusting the software settings, start the device.

Additional features of Indesit machines

All washing modes can be changed depending on the user's needs. Additional functions of the Indesit washing machine allow you not only to optimize washing, but also to facilitate manual labor.

• The "gentle rinse" can be used for a gentle or additional rinse. Can be used on any type of fabric.
• "Eco time" allows you to optimize water consumption, reducing its consumption. Used with basic programs for washing cotton and synthetic items.
• “Delayed start” is used to ensure that the wash starts at the time specified on the timer. Allows you to wash without your presence, so that the wash ends at the right time.
• “Auto cleaning” is designed to care for the washing machine itself. With its help you can get rid of internal plaque, harmful microflora and unpleasant odors.

Conditional classification of symbols and pictograms

All symbols and pictograms printed on the front panel of the body of the automatic washing machine can be conditionally divided into four groups.

First group: progress of the washing process

Using the icons belonging to this group, the automatic machine is turned on and off, and all intermediate stages of the washing process are visualized through indicator lights that light up alternately.

Light indicators show in detail the performance of the unit and what program is currently running. All possible errors are also visible.

This includes symbols indicating:

• starting the washing process;
• pre-wash;
• operation of the machine in normal mode;
• start of the laundry rinsing process;
• possibility of repeated rinsing;
• draining contaminated water;
• spin;
• drying;
• end of operation of the household appliance.

Having glanced at the line of listed icons, the consumer instantly determines the washing stage by the lit indicator.

Easy to read washing program selection panel. The consumer can quickly set the mode required for a given type of laundry

Second group: washing mode indicators

This group includes pictograms indicating washing modes. Sometimes they are also called washing programs. Each mode is designed to care for products made from a specific type of fabric:

• cotton;
• synthetics;
• wool;
• silks;
• denim material.

In accordance with the selected program, the temperature level of the water in which the products will be washed is set manually or automatically (depending on the model). The desired spin mode is also selected, determined by the drum speed and the intensity of its rotation. It is possible to select a lower temperature than indicated in the program.

Classification of washing programs into daily and special groups helps the user decide on the optimal option

Third group: modes at the discretion of the consumer

This group conventionally includes symbols indicating washing programs selected by the consumer at his own discretion. We are talking about such functional capabilities of automatic machines as:

• hand wash;
• washing stains;
• care of delicate fabrics;
• night cycle;
• super intensive wash;
• washing children's clothes;
• economical washing process;
• curtains;
• quick wash.

On the displays of different models, in addition to the listed designations, you can also see “rinse with softener” or “hold rinse mode”. The number of additional icons depends on the functionality of models produced by different manufacturers.

A detailed description of programs by fabric type facilitates the operation of the machine for consumers who prefer to work with text information

Competing companies, taking into account the interests of different groups of the population, are coming up with new options for washing products. Therefore, with the release of subsequent generations of automatic washing machine models, their functionality is improved and the list of symbols is expanded.

Fourth group: activation of additional functions

A separate group of indicator buttons includes additional functions that correspond to:

• for reducing the washing time interval;
• for reducing the number of drum revolutions;
• for foam control;
• for wrinkle-free clothes;
• per volume of water.

You can activate the desired function by pressing the corresponding key or indicator button. The light that appears indicates that the selected functionality has been launched.

Additional programs and their symbols that suggest how to use these washing modes

What spin should I use when washing?

It is believed that at 400-600 rpm it is necessary to spin products made from thin woolen, cotton or silk fabrics. 800-900 revolutions are ideal for all products made from synthetic fibers - the fabric is dehydrated as much as possible without damaging it. At 1000 rpm you can squeeze out jeans well.

Explanation of symbols in instructions

In addition to short verbal symbols, there are various symbols on the control panel of Candy washing machines. Many of them are intuitive, as they immediately evoke appropriate associations.

Let's look at the most common icons found on certain models of the brand.

• Shirt with stains. This is a particularly intensive wash mode. It can be used to wash very heavily soiled items. Elimination of stains is carried out due to the accelerated rotation of the drum, high water temperature (90 C), and the duration of the process (170 minutes).
• Shower head aimed at the pelvis. This is a rinse option that can be enabled separately.
• Drops and plus. This is a double rinse option. It is used when cleaning children's clothes to completely remove traces of powder. This process also eliminates the risk of allergic reactions in people with hypersensitivity. Of course, the total washing time in this case increases (by about 30-40 minutes).
• A skein of yarn (or several skeins). A mode suitable for washing woolen items (sweaters, knitted accessories, blankets, etc.). The duration of this wash is 55 minutes.
• Cloud and arrow looking down. This may indicate a program for cleaning durable fabrics (cotton, linen, etc.). The water here warms up to 90 C.
• Feather. It is easy to guess that this symbol means the processing of delicate fabrics that require delicate treatment.
• Numbers 32, 44. These are quick wash symbols indicating the number of minutes.
• A clock whose hand points to the left. This is a delayed start function that allows you to program the washing machine to start working at a specific point in the future (within 24 hours).
• Snowflake. This is a special mode. When using it, the water remains cold. This program is suitable for cleaning synthetic fabrics that cannot withstand high temperatures. The duration of the process is 50 minutes. Many people use this mode as an alternative to hand washing.

There are also rarely seen icons that are also worth considering.

• SUPER R. This inscription means “super wash”. This option allows you to significantly speed up the process. This mode is recommended for cotton and synthetics.
• Z. This letter means spin off. Draining occurs immediately after rinsing. This function is suitable for items that cannot be wrung out.
• M&W. This symbol combination means washing mixed fabrics. It allows you to load different types of things into the drum, simplifying the process and saving energy.
