INSTALLATION
Positioning
After removing the outer carton, set
up the machine in the selected
spot, preferably very close to water
supply and draining facilities.
Furthermore, the machine can be
installed with the sides and back in
touch with the adjacent furniture or
with the wall. The dishwasher fea-
tures fill and drain hoses which can
be turned either to the right or the
left (Fig. 1) to suit the installation.
The worktop can be adjusted either
forwards or backwards up to 25
mm to make it possible to align the
machine properly with the kitchen
furniture. To do this, simply remove
the securing screws from the front
(Fig. 2): adjust the worktop as re-
quired, then replace the previously
removed screws.
The machine can also be installed
under the kitchen counter or under
the sink. To do this, remove the
worktop from the machine by un-
screwing the two front securing
screws and then release it from its
rear catch. The dimensions of the
special recess required to house
the machine are given in Fig. 3.

the temperature of the hot water
never exceeds 70°C (158°F).
The inlet hose should be connec-
ted to a 3/4" gas thread spout (Fig.
4-5) or to a quick-coupling tap
(Press-Block) after inserting the
special strainer A supplied with the
machine. Make sure that the water
supply pressure is within the limits
indicated under the technical data.
Water outlet connection
The outlet hose should be firmly
hooked over the edge of a sink by
using the curved end delivered with
the appliance (Fig. 7), or connected
under the sink or to a suitable wa-
ste pipe in the wall which should
incorporate an air-break. The
siphon must not be provided with a
non-return valve (A-Fig. 6). The top
of the drain hose (curved end)
should not be lower than 40 cms
(minimum) or higher than 100 cms
(maximum) from the floor level.
The water should be able to drain
freely and, therefore, the outlet ho-
se should not be choked or placed
in such a way as to obstruct the
5
normal water flow. If an extension
of the hose is required, it should
not exceed 2 metres and the ex-
tension itself should have at least
the same inner diameter as the ma-
chine's own drain hose.
Electrical connection
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
The machine operates on a rated
voltage of 220-240 V (50 Hz). Maxi-
mum power absorbed is approx. 3
kW. The domestic wiring system
(including wall sockets, interior wi-
ring, fuses and electricity meters)
should therefore be adequate and
suitable to carry such a load.
The manufacturer declines any
liability should this safety mea-
sure not be observed.
1. If the plug fitted to the appliance
is not suitable for your socket ou-
tlet, it must be cut off, and the ap-
propriate plug fitted.
You should dispose of the cut-off
plug, in order to prevent the hazard
of electric shocks if it should be
plugged into a 13 Amp socket in
another part of your home.
2. IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are co-
loured in accordance with the fol-
lowing code:
GREEN 8 YELLOW - EARTH
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
If you fit your own plug the colours
of the wires in the mains lead may
not correspond with the markings
identifying the terminals in your
plug. Fit the plug as follows:
Connect the green and yellow
(earth) wire to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter
«E», or the earth symbol —, or co-
loured green or green and yellow.
Connect the blue (neutral) wire to
the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter «N», or co-
loured black.
Connect the brown (live) wire to the
terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter «L», or co-
loured red.
3.1 There is a fuse incorporated in-
to the moulded plug. When neces-
sary this should be replaced by a
13 Amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA
approved fuses should be used.
3.2 The fuse cover/carrier must be
replaced if the fuse is changed.
The correct fuse cover/carrier is
the one shown by the coloured in-
sert at the base of the plug.
3.3 The plug must not be used If
the fuse cover/carrier is lost. A re-
placement cover/carrier must be
obtained from a Tricity Bendix Ser-
vice Centre. There is a list of these
at the end of this instruction book.
This appliance complies with
EEC directive No. 82/499 of
7/6/82 dealing with radio interfe-
rence suppression.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING
Certain problems are due to lack of
simple maintenance, or to oversi-
ghts, and can be solved easily
without having to call the Servicing
Department.
If the machine will not start
Check that:
m the door is correctly closed
m the water tap is full open
m the plug is perfectly inserted in
the wall socket
m the fuses of the wiring system are
not blown.
If the machine will not drain
Check that:
m the drain hose is not kinked
m the filter is not clogged.
If the dishes are not clean
Check that:
m the detergent used is suitable for
dishwashers and the quantity di-
spensed is correct
m the crockery is correctly arranged
in the baskets
mthe spray arms turn freely and
the nozzles are not obstructed
u the filter is clean.
If there are limestone deposits
on the crockery
Check that:
mthere is enough salt in the
container
m there is enough rinse aid
m sufficient rinse aid is being
dispensed.
If there are traces of tea, coffee
or lipstick left on the crockery
Check that:
m the quantity of detergent loaded
in the machine is insufficient.
If the crockery is not completely
dry
If the crockery remains in the ma-
chine for a long period of time after
washing, condensation may occur
on the inner walls of the dishwa-
sher and on the crockery itself. Do
not leave the crockery in the ma-
chine for a long time.
15
USEFUL HINTS
A dishwasher should be used to its
full capacity to ensure the most
economical and efficient perfor-
mance.
Place the crockery in the machine
immediately after the meals, arran-
ging the various pieces in the re-
spective compartments. If only
partial loads are placed in the ma-
chine, carry out a rinse and hold
programme.
We would also suggest that you
take into account the capacity and
the space availability of your
dishwasher when buying new
crockery, particularly pots and
pans, all of which should be suita-
ble to be washed in the dishwa-
sher.
Pots
The machine will also wash pots.
Needless to say, the washing re-
sults depend on how soiled the
pots are. If there are plenty of dried
up food scraps or if there are burnt
scraps, it may be advisable to pre-
rinse the pots by hand or to pre-
soak them so as to loosen the
scraps.
Cutlery
Do not place in your dishwasher
cutlery with wooden, horn or bone
handles or glued parts which will
not withstand hot water.
Silver Cutlery
This may be washed in the dishwa-
sher with very good results, provi-
ded it does not come in touch with
steel cutlery. The fact is that the
oxidising effect of the soapy water
might cause unsightly spots due to
the chemical interaction between
14
the two metals. Therefore, they
should be arranged separately in
the cutlery basket.
Aluminium Ware
Aluminium is not suitable for
dishwashing.
Decorated Chinaware
Some decorations might fade when
machine-washed. You should not
wash very old or very fine china in
your machine.
Crystalware and Plastic
Unless these items are approved as
dishwasher safe by the manufactu-
rer, you should not wash them in
your machine.
If you are in any doubt about the sui-
tability of any item for dishwashing,
consult the manufacturer of that
item.

This control permits selection of
the required wash cycle. Turn this
knob clockwise on the required
wash cycle.
ON/OFF Button
Press this pushbutton to start the
machine. The pilot light (4) illumina-
tes. When the programme has fini-
shed the machine stops automati-
cally, and the pilot light remains on.
Press the button again to switch
the light off, or to stop the pro-
gramme at any time.
Door Handle
Grip it firmly, pull it outwards. To
close the door, simply push it back
till it engages.
WATER SOFTENER
Water contains varying amounts of
lime and mineral salts, depending
on the area where you live; these
can be deposited on the dishes,
leaving white marks. The dishwa-
sher has a softener which uses
special dishwasher salt to provide
lime-free water. This ensures a bet-
ter wash performance.
Salt filling
After unscrewing the cap, fill 1.5 kg
of special dishwasher salt using
the funnel supplied with the machi-
ne into the container on the bottom
(Fig. 8). Fill the container with water
(this operation should be carried
out during the first salt filling). Ca-
refully replace the container screw
cap, making sure that the threa-
ding and the gasket have no trace
of salt. After this, it will suffice to
periodically top up the container
with salt only. (Approximately every
40 washes).
Important
When the appliance is put into
operation for the first time, it is
recommended that you carry out a
complete wash cycle without loa-
ding any salt in the respective con-
tainer. All salt refilling and topping
up operations should be carried
out immediately prior to starting
any one of the complete wash cy-
cles (with the exception of the RIN-
SE & HOLD programme) in order to
7
prevent the possibility that any salt
granules or salt water, which might
flow out of the salt container during
refilling, remain for some time on
the bottom of the wash tub without
being properly diluted.
Use only special dishwasher salt.
Tricity Bendix recommends Finish
dishwasher salt.
Adjusting the water softener
The water softener is preset for
water having a maximum hardness
of 22% dH. This setting is designed
to suit most situations.
If the water hhardness exceeds 22°
dH (up to a maximum of 45° dH),
the water softener may be adjusted
simply by piercing diaphragm “A”
(Fig. 9).
ADJUSTING BASKETS
Top basket raising and lowering
If very big plates (over 27 cms and
up to 31 cms diameter) are used,
the top basket will have to be raised
to the upper position so that these
items can be properly arranged in
8
the bottom basket.
To raise the top basket proceed as
follows:
move the front runner stops (A) of
the upper basket outward and slide
the basket out;
refit the basket in the higher posi-
tion and replace the stops (A) in the
original position.
With the top basket on this upper
position there is of course less loa-
ding clearance in the basket itself
(which will in fact only take dishes
up to 15 cms) and this will also
prevent utilisation of the basket’s
raised cup compartments.
Loading the crockery
Prior to arranging the crockery in
the baskets, do remove the bigger
food scraps (such as tiny bones, fi-
sh-bones, meat or vegetable scra-
ps, fruit peels, etc.) to prevent the
{ег from clogging, which would
cause poor washing results.
Open the door and slide out the
baskets to be able to load the
crockery.
Replace the filters by pushing them
back until you feel them click.
The large fine-mesh filter (A) should
be cleaned from time to time
(about once every two months) on
both sides with a suitable brush.
To remove this large filter (A), take
off the bottom spray arm, and un-
lock part E Fig. 17.
Replace the filter, reversing the
above procedure, making sure that
its outer rim fits correctly in its hou-
sing on the tub bottom.
The dishwasher should not be ope-
rated without the filters being cor-
rectly installed. Periodic cleaning of
the filters is essential for a smooth
and efficient operation of the ma-
chine.
Cleaning the spray arm nozzles
The holes of the spray arm nozzles
should not be obstructed as this
would greatly reduce the effective-
ness of the washing cycle.
To remove the bottom spray arm
release it from its securing catches
(D - Fig. 17) and pull it out.
To clean the nozzles of the top
spray arm, slide out the top basket
whereby the spray arm will become
perfectly accessible.
To remove it, disengage water inlet
funnel from its coupling and un-
screw the ring nut.
Cabinet cleaning
The outer cabinet and the facia-
panel should be wiped periodically
with a soft damp cloth and, if ne-
cessary, with a little neutral deter-
gent. Never use abrasive products
which might scratch the surface.
Long idle periods
If the machine is not to be used for
some time, it is advisable to take
the following precautions:
Disconnect the machine from the
electrical network and from the wa-
ter supply.
Fill up the rinse aid container.
Leave the door ajar to prevent
bad smells from lingering in the
machine.
Leave the inner part of the machine
clean, by carrying out a rinse and
hold programme (No. 1).
If you are moving
It you are moving and the dishwa-
sher is being transferred to a new
location, make sure that the machi-
ne is not tilted too much during
transport.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the filter assembly
The filter assembly consists of a
large circular fine-mesh filter (A)
and two small cone-shaped filters
(B-C), fitting one within the other,
both being housed in the large filter
(Fig. 16).
We recommend that you inspect
the two small filters B and C after
each wash cycle, removing any
food scraps.
These two concentric filters can be
removed simply by lifting them up.
To remove the inner filter C,
squeeze together the two small
plastic tongues sticking out from
the bottom of outer filter B.
12
Important
When loading the crockery be ab-
solutely sure not to obstruct the
water inlet funnel at the centre of
the upper basket. The dishwasher
must be loaded correctly to ensure
good washing results. After loading
the crockery, make sure that the
spray arms turn freely.
Using the bottom basket
(Fig. 11-12)
The lower basket is designed to
take pots, lids, dishes, salad-
bowls, cutlery, plates etc. The cu-
tiery should be placed into the spe-
cial small removable basket. To
obtain good washing results, it is
recommended to intermix spoons
with knives and forks so that they
will not stick together. We also
suggest that you stack the cutlery
into the special small basket with
the handles facing downwards.
NI
LP
CIE г.
Г
la
WHEE
However, if the handles of your cu-
tlery are very thin it is advisable to
stack the cutlery with the handles
facing upwards, so as to prevent
them from sticking out from the
bottom of the small basket and
thereby blocking the lower spray
arm.
Using the top basket (Fig. 13-14)
The top basket is designed to take
dishes (dessert plates, saucers)
plus cups and glasses which
should be arranged as shown in
the respective pictures.
RINSE AID
Loading the rinse aid
The rinse aid dispenser, which au-
tomatically dispenses the right
amount of rinse aid at the proper ti-
me, is located inside the dishwa-
sher door. This special liquid pro-
duct is essential to ensure prompt
drying of the crockery and to make
it come out crystal-clear since it
prevents formation of stains due to
the salts contained in the water.
Filling
Press catch A (Fig. 15) to open the
container lid. Pour the rinse aid into
the funnel.
The container holds 110 cu.cms of
rinse aid. Close the lid.
The level can be checked through
the level indicator (Fig. 15).
Quantity
The quantity of rinse aid dispensed
automatically from the container
can be adjusted, in each single ca-
se, to compensate for hard or soft
water, more being required for hard
water and less for soft. The quan-
tity can be adjusted by means of
knob B.
Important
We would suggest that you initially
leave the knob at position 1; if the
crockery remains dull or shows oc-
casional round spots you should
increase the quantity of rinse aid to
be dispensed.
10
DETERGENT
Loading the detergent
The washing powder should be
poured into the compartment of
the container (Fig. 15).
If the lid of the container happens
to be closed, to open it simply pu-
sh back catch C which keeps it
clamped down.
Quantity of detergent
The quantity to be loaded depends
on the degree of soil and type of
load. On the average, we recom-
mend 2 teaspoonfuls (25 grams) if
you have to wash normally soiled
crockery, and up to 3 teaspoonfuls
(30 grams) for heavily soiled
crockery.
After loading the detergent in the
proper compartment, close the lid.
The detergent will be automatically
dispensed at the proper time.
Important
Only use detergents specially ma-
de for dishwashers. To obtain fine
washing results you should only
use top quality detergents. An in-
sufficient quantity of detergent will
give poor washing results, whereas
an excessive quantity will not im-
prove the result but will only repre-
sent a waste.
Tricity Bendix recommends Finish
Dishwasher Detergent.
USING THE DISHWASHER
Starting the machine
After connecting the machine to
the water supply and to the electric
power supply, close the door and
then proceed as follows:
Turn the programme selector knob
(5) to the required setting.
Depress the ON pushbutton (1).
At this point the pilot lamp will light
up and the machine starts opera-
ting.
Stopping the machine
When the wash cycle is completed,
the machine stops automatically
but the pilot lamp remains on.
Press the ON/OFF button to swich
the lamp off. If you want to stop
the machine at any moment during
the wash cycle, simply press the
OFF pushbutton. To restart the
machine, press this button again
and the wash cycle will resume
from where it was interrupted.
It is not advisable to open the door
during operation, although the ma-
chine does incorporate a safety de-
vice which stops operation when
the door is opened.
We would also recommend, at the
end of a wash cycle, that you turn
off the water tap and unplug the
machine from the wall socket.
