Indesit BTW S72200 Washing Machine 7 kg · 1200 rpm · top loading

Step-by-step guide

  1. Open the lid at the top. The washing machine has a top-loading lid. Press the button at the front and the lid will open.

  2. Load laundry (max 7 kg). Open the drum door inside, load the laundry, and close it firmly again — otherwise the washing machine will not start.

  3. Add detergent. Top left drawer. Use the compartment marked II for the main wash. Fabric softener goes into the compartment with the flower symbol. You can find detergent and fabric softener in the bathroom under the sink.

  4. Turn the selector to a program. The large round knob on the right of the panel. For regular laundry, turn to Algod. 40° (means "Cotton 40°C"). A table of all programs is below.

  5. Optional: set spin speed. Use the Centrif. button on the bottom left to reduce the spin speed for delicate laundry. Options: 1200 (default) → 800 → 400 → no spin.

  6. Press INICIO / PAUSA. The button on the right with the triangle and pause symbol. The display will show a countdown. You will hear an audible signal when finished.

Programs — which one to choose?

Algod. 40° (Cotton 40°) — recommended for regular laundry. Approx. 2 h 30 min. Sintéticos 30° (Synthetics 30°) — polyester, mixed fibers. Approx. 1 h 50 min. Mix 45' 40° (Mixed 45 min) — quick wash for lightly soiled laundry. 45 min. Delicado 30° (Delicates 30°) — silk, lace, delicate laundry. Approx. 1 h. Lana / Lã 20° (Wool 20°) — wool sweaters, even those marked "hand wash only". Approx. 55 min. Eco 40-60 (Eco program) — most energy-efficient, for lightly soiled cotton. Approx. 3 h. Algod. 60° / Algod. 90° (Cotton 60° / 90°) — heavily soiled laundry, towels, bedding. Centrif. + Drenaj (Spin + Drain) — spin only, no wash. Aclar. + Centrif. (Rinse + Spin) — rinse only, no wash.

Important

  • Maximum load is 7 kg — do not overload the washing machine.

  • After loading laundry, firmly close the inner drum door (otherwise the washing machine will not start).

  • Do not use liquid detergent with the delayed start function (Inicio diferido).

  • For towels and large items, reduce the spin speed to 800, otherwise the laundry will not distribute properly and will remain wet.

  • Do not wash at a temperature higher than 40°C if you intend to put the laundry in the dryer (it cannot withstand high temperatures).

Common problems

The washing machine won't start. Check: inner drum door closure, plug in socket, water supply open (tap behind the washing machine).

Laundry remained very wet. Cause is uneven distribution (the washing machine reduced spin speed due to vibrations). Redistribute laundry evenly and run the Centrif. + Drenaj program separately.

Display shows an error code. Unplug the washing machine, wait 1 minute, plug it back in. If the problem persists, contact the host.

Unused detergent remains in the drawer. The drawer is clogged — pull it out and rinse it under running water.

The washing machine vibrates strongly. Laundry is unevenly distributed. Stop the program, open the lid, and redistribute the laundry.

If the problem persists, contact the host.
