are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH
BLUE NEUTRAL
BROWN LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in
your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow
must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the ‘Earth’
symbol == or coloured green or coloured
green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘N’ or colour black. The wire
which is coloured brown must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter
‘L" or coloured red.
The appliance must be protected by a 13 amp
ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse if a 13 amp
(BS1363) plug or a non-rewireable plug is
used. If any other type of plug is used, a 15
amp fuse either in the plug or adapator or at
the distribution board.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-
rewireable plug the fuse cover must be
refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged
the plug must not be used until a replacement
is obtained. Replacement fuse covers are

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
The diagram shows a typical domestic plumbing system. Connections can be made by fitting tee-
pieces in the existing pipework*.
Permanent connections to Bendix stopcocks located at the lefthand side of the appliance are
recommended. Ensure that they are positioned near enough to the appliance to permit it being
moved for servicing.
Where necessary the appliance can be used on Cold-only water supply by connecting both water
inlets by means of a Bendix F-connector 25115. Before using the new pipework for the first time
flush out swarf and flax.
The grey hose supplied with the machine is marked ‘25°C maximum’. This should only be
connected to the cold water supply. Always use for connection to the cold water supply by means
of the F-connector.
Instantaneous Water Heaters
This model is suitable for use with some makes of instantaneous gas water-heaters. Full details
of compatible water-heaters should be obtained from the heater manufacturer or Gas showroom.
The use of these heaters may require more frequent cleaning of the Autowasher water inlet filters
than would be necessary with other water heating methods.

Mains On/Off Button
Controls power to the machine.
Mains On Light
Glows to indicate the machine is energized.
Half Load Button
This switch controls the water level thereby
reducing the total water consumption, which
in turn results in a saving of electricity and
detergent. Select for small or medium loads.
An indication of weights is given in the Wash
Programme Guide.
When washing fabrics which are subject to
creasing such as Acrilan, Orion, Nylon,
Terylene etc. load the cylinder no more than
half full to allow plenty of room for the
garments.
Do not use low water levels when washing
woollens or silks.
Temperature Selector Control
Gives a range of wash temperatures from
30°C - 90°C. Use the wash programme guide
on the machine fascia or refer to the
programme chart on page 12. This will
provide correct temperature required.
Programme Selector Control
Select the wash programme required
according to the type of fabric and degree of
soiling. Refer to the wash programme guide
on the machine fascia or to the programme
charton page 12.
DETERGENT DISPENSER
The detergent dispenser is so designed that
detergents and additives will flush
automatically into your machine. It is divided
into three compartments ‘A’ for pre-wash or
bio powder, 'B' for main wash powders and
‘C’' for additives. i.e. fabric softeners such as
Comfort. At the end of the wash programme,
any remaining water will be automatically
syphoned out leaving the dispenser ready for
the next wash.
Note: The detergent dispenser drawer and
housing should be cleaned to prevent a build
up of detergent and fabric softener. This
dispenser drawer is easily removed by
pulling out. Rinse it under the tap, dry and
replace by inserting in the opening and
pushing home.
Drain Screen
The removable drain screen which protects
the pump from lint and foreign matter needs
to be cleaned periodically. How often will
depend on your wash load, e.g. cotton towels
and nappies cause more lint to collect than
nylon loads. Open the service door by
pressing on the right hand side. Turn
anticlockwise and pull the drain screen out.
Have a cloth or shallow tray under the drain
screen housing, as a small quantity of water
may run out. You may find it helpful to first
setthe machine to spin then remove the drain
screen. This procedure reduces the amount
of water released. Clean the screen under
running water to help remove any trapped
lint. Replace the screen by sliding back into
the housing. Lastly turn clockwise to secure.
Under no circumstances should the drain
screen be removed whilst the machine is full
of water.
Hoses
Make sure that these are not kinked or the
machine will not function correctly.
Adjustable Feet
It is important that the machine is stable and
level during operation. To help you obtain
these conditions the machine is fitted with
adjustable front feet. To prevent the cups
being pulled off during moving the machine
to its final site, you can, if you wish stick the
rubber cups to the feet with a little Bostick
impact adhesive.
To adjust the feet loosen the locking nuts and
adjust both feet to give a level and stable
position and then retighten the locking nuts.
Note: If the appliance is on an area which is
carpeted, then we recommend the use of a
piece of hardboard beneath the machine to
help you locate the machine correctly in its
final resting position.
Pre-fili
Note: At the start of the main wash, the
machine will pre-fill. This means that initially
water will flow into the machine through the
detergent dispenser Compartment A. This
will prevent detergent being flushed into the
sump and wasted.
Pause
Note: This feature is incorporated in
programmes 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 so the clothes are
held in the final rinse water. To complete the
programme turn the Programme Selector to
‘Spin’.

Using your BENDIX autowasher electronic 1000
Always use a low sudsing detergent like
Persil Automatic in your machine as this is
specially formulated to work in conjunction
with the Home Laundry Centre to give the
best results.
Detergents will be flushed automatically into
the machine from the detergent dispenser.
The suds level should never rise more than
halfway up the porthole. Too much foam will
not only impede the wash action of your
machine but may rise through the detergent
dispenser, making a mess on the floor!
If this should happen clear excessive suds by
setting the Wash Timer Dial/Programme
Selector to the beginning of the first rinse
setting, allow the machine to rinse out.
The following quantity of powder is a guide
for average water supplies. Ifthe water is very
hard more powder may be needed. If very
soft less will be needed. If you are in doubt
referto the instructions on the packet.
If you have a more heavily soiled load and
decide to use the pre-wash before a main
wash, use approximately one third of the
powder in the pre-wash compartment ‘A’ of
the dispenser and the remaining two thirds in
the main wash ‘B’ compartment.
Note: an average teacup holds (22-3 oz) 75g-
90g.

On selected programmes water enters the
machine and flows directly to the drum to
ensure optimum use of detergent.
Fabric Softeners e.g. Comfort
All fabrics, particularly towels and nappies,
benefit from the use of fabric conditioner in
the final rinse. Items of laundry feel softer, are
more easily ironed and the clinging effect of
static is considerably reduced.
To Use: Pour the conditioner into the
‘Additives’ compartment ‘C’ of the detergent
dispenser. Under no circumstances fill above
the maximum level indicated as the
conditioner will immediately be syphoned
into the machine and a poor wash will result.
Preparation Before You Wash
Today many garments carry a label under the
International Textile Care Labelling Code
(ITCLC) indicating the correct type of laundry
treatment required. You will find that this
label corresponds to the Wash Chart on page
12.
Sort your washing according to the Care
Label number given on the garment, or if
absent, according to the fabric and type of
wash treatment required. Your Bendix takes
up to 10 Ib (4.5 kg) dry weight on clothes. See
charton page 12.
If you decide for one reason or another to mix
fabrics, always use the wash programme for
the most delicate fabric in the load. For
example a wash load made up with fabrics
from the wash groups 1 and 2 should be
washed on 2, similarly a wash load with
fabrics from 3 and 4 should be washed on 4
etc. White nylon, and delicate items i.e.
programmes 3, 4, 6, should be washed
separately.
Make sure that the pockets have been
emptied, zips fastened and apron strings tied.
Remove pins and other small objects which
could harm clothes if they become separated
inthe machine.
If possible make up loads of similar soiling
keeping heavily soiled items separate from
lightly soiled clothes. Heavily soiled parts
such as shirt cuffs and collars may be pre-
treated by brushing with a solution of
detergent and water; this should be applied
lightly to the right side of the garment.
Stain Removal
Most household stains come out in the
normal wash but there are some which
require special treatment. The following hints
may help with common stains.
When using a stain remover or bleach follow
the makers’ direction carefully. Never use full
strength bleach on any fabrics.
Rinse thoroughly after any special treatment.
Chemicals left in fabrics can weaken or
destroy some fibres. Test fabrics for possible
damage to fibres or colour before tackling the
stained area. For details on Stain Removal
see page 13.
Loading the Drum
When you have a large wash load made up of
shirts, towels, pillowcases, pyjamas and
other similar small items, pack them loosely
intothe drum.
Large items, a candlewick bedspread for
instance, should be washed individually as
an article as bulky as this will fill the drum on
its own.
When washing a mixed load, put medium
and small items into the cylinder alternately.
A sheet should be picked up by the centre
tentwise, shaken and then folded, pressing
outthe air.
Programme Choice
The choice of programmes on your machine
enables you to select the best wash
programme for your load. The programmes
on the Wash Timer Dial/Programme Selector
correspond to the Care Labelling Code of the
International Care labelling Scheme. see the
charton page 12.
To Set a Wash Programme
1. Load the drum with clothes maximum
dry weight 4.5 kg (10 Ib) or 2 kg (42 Ib)
synthetics. Close the door.
2. Select a programme - see chart on page
12.
3. Select the correct temperature according
to programme required. See programme
guide on the fascia or programme chart
on pages 12.
4. Putthe detergent and fabric conditioner
into the dispenser.
b. Press the on/off button to start the
machine.
10
Bio/Prewash
On more heavily soiled wash loads a Bio/Pre-
wash will help to produce a better wash by
loosening stains or soil ready for the main
wash. Put sufficient low suds detergent (Bio
low suds detergent may be used) into Section
A of the soap dispenser as well as B, the Main
Wash section. Select the pre-wash closest to
the desired main wash programme. Once the
‘On/Off’ button has been pressed the
machine will fill and heat the water to
approximately 40°C whilst starting its reverse
tumble wash action.
The Bio/Pre-wash takes approximatley 17
minutes after which time the machine will
automatically continue with the adjacent
main wash programme.
The wash timer dial programme selector
must be manually advanced to those
programmes not adjacent to a pre-wash ie, 6,
7 and 8.
A Bio/Pre-wash should not be used prior to
Programme 7 (Wool) as this may have an
adverse effecton woollen items.
Main Wash
To start the machine without a Bio/Pre-wash
ensure that the Wash Timer Dial/Programme
Selector is turned clockwise to the desired
programme, (see chart) and the correct
quantity of low suds detergent is in the main
wash compartment of the detergent
dispenser. Start the machine by pressing the
on/off button.
IMPORTANT: For programmes 6, 7 and 8
the detergent for Main Wash should be
placed inthe pre-wash compartment A.
Woollens Wash
Your Bendix Home Laundry Centre has a pro-
gramme for woollen articles which has been
approved by the International Wool
Secretariat (IWS) for machine washable
articles. Select it by turning the Wash time
Dial/Programme Selector to the programme
7.
Do not wash woollens in your Bendix unless
the garment has been labelled ‘machine
washable’. This means that it has been
specially treated to minimise shrinkage.
However, it is advantageous to spin woollen
articles that have been washed and rinsed by
hand as this removes most of the excess
water by setting the Wash Timer Dial/
Programme Selectorto ‘Spin’.
After spinning remove from the drum, pull
into shape and dry flat if possible. Avoid
direct heat.
Blankets
Blankets that are labelled “Machine
Washable’ can be safely washed on the Wool
Programme 7. Most blanket manufacturers
issue specific instructions for the treatment of
their products.
Sometimes they will stipulate hand washing
or dry cleaning. This particularly applies to
wool cellular and honeycomb blankets which
should not be machined washed.
Rinsing
All wash cycles automatically include
multiple rinses and the programmes for
natural fibres go on to spin automatically. It
is during the last of the rinses that fabric
softeneris taken into the machine.
The four programmes for synthetics and
delicate fabrics (see page 12) have a ‘pause’
feature giving rinses and then retaining the
last rinsing water. This useful feature
prevents excess creasing. When you are
ready to remove the clothes from the
machine turn the Wash Timer Dial/
Programme Selector to ‘Spin’ and the
programme will be automatically completed.
Drip Dry Articles
When you are ready to remove the clothes for
drip drying, turn the Wash Timer Dial/
Programme Selector to ‘Spin’ to drain the
water and then turn further to the stop
position.
After 11% minutes delay, the door may be
opened andthe clothes removed.
ltems that have been hand washed can be
rinsed and spun in your Bendix using the
rinse and spin sections of the wash cycles.

BEFORE USING CHECK THAT .....
1. Themachine is plugged in and switched on.
2. Both HOT and COLD stopcocks are fully open (unless a cold water adapator has
been fitted. Bendix Part No. 25115).
3. The hoses are not kinked.
4. Thelaundryis loaded into the machine and the door is closed firmly.
5. The appropriate amount of detergent and fabric softener has been added to the
detergent dispenser.
6. The‘halfload’ button has been pressed where appropriate.
7. Thecorrecttemperature has been selected.
8. The Programme Selector knob has been turned to the appropriate programme
(See wash chart on page 12).
AFTER USE
1. Turn offthe hotand cold stopcocks to the machine.
2. Make surethatthe Programme Selector is atthe ‘O’ position.
3. Switch off and disconnect from the power supply.
4. Leavethe porthole door slightly ajar to help machine to dry out.

What's gone wrong?
If your machine won't work, check the following list and make sure that you
haven't overlooked anything. It will certainly help you and us also.
1. Checkthatthe machineis plugged in and switched on.
2. Check the fuse. You could try another appliance from the same outlet
in case the main fuse has blown.
3. Be surethe hot and coldtaps have been turned on fully.
4. Have you selected the Programme?
5. Look to see if the door is fully closed. The door safety switch prevents
the heater and motor operating if the door is open.
6. Is your machine overloaded? If it is the motor protector switch will stop
the machine. If overloading is the problem remove some of the clothes,
taking care not to scald yourself in doing so.
7. Check that the drain and fill hoses are not kinked and have been fitted
correctly (this is a very common cause particularly if the machine has
been moved for any reason).
8. Does the drain screen need cleaning? (see page 7 but first drain of any
water).
9. If the machine does not spin check for ‘Pause’ condition - see Wash
Guide.
If your machine still does not work after checking the list please contact your
nearest Service Branch, see list on page 17 or look under “Bendix” in the
telephone book.
Note If on making a service call, our engineer discovers that the only
attention required is to remedy one of the above conditions, a charge will
be made whether or not the machine is in or out of the guarantee period
