    Hi

    Merry Chrimbo to all!

    I have an Indesit IWDE 7145 Washer Dryer.

    Now when I get things I like to know how to do it before I need to etc.

    How does the one turn the pre-wash on this machine? Is it automatic on some programmes? Does it check for soap in the dispenser? Does it read my mind? (Not that difficult)

    I have even read the instuctions 🙂 and I cannot find it anywhere.

    Also Happy New Year to all,
    Norm

    having looked at the manual, it doesnt mention it at all

    however, if u need to use the prewash, u would need to use the heavy soiled program, i.e cottons heavy soil

    then itll do a prewash 1st

    Hi

    It is a closely kept secret, maybe Indesit should get an award for the best instruction book having been passed by MI 5. :rolls:

    I will have a few dummy runs and report back later to-day. It is exciting to own an Indesit, full of surprises, it’s what Christmas is all about.

    Well there is a lot of ironing when it has finished putting in all the creases if that is what you mean. 😆

    I wouldn’t call it exciting but you should be prepared for many surprises. :rolls:

    Hi

    After many trials in the lab (kitchen), now it’s stopped drying my not so small smalls, we have come to this conclusion.

    There is a button called “Intensive Wash” which the manual says just uses more water etc, no mention of pre-wash.

    Well if we take the four main washes at 90, 60, 40 and 50 degrees and they are numbered 1 2 3 and 4 (clever eh) If you press this button then water goes into the prewash dispenser on numbers 1 3 and 4. So I presume it would continue to a pre-wash on these settings if we let it. It does NO pre-washes unless this button is pressed, even at 90.

    So it does pre-washes at 90, 40 and 50 degrees not 60. I suppose since 90 and 60 are for cotton then you would use 90 if they were really mucky.

    I know I could have done this without the forum but I thought some one would have the details.

    Still if people have one of these machines they may find out be searching on this forum and answer their question.

    Should I tell Indesit my findings or do you think they know?

Have you had fun in the snow? Have you been gritted?………………………………..There is a man at the door, think they are after me, time I was back in the care home…….Bye all
