INSTALLATION

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

Positioning

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.

The sides and the back of the dishwasher can rest against the adjacent furniture or the wall.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.

Loosen or tighten the adjustable support feet, until the machine is perfectly level.

Water Supply Connections

This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water supply and it is preferable for it to be permanently plumbed in.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications, as it will not function correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.

Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area. Where the water is supplied via a cold water storage cistern, you can work out the pressure yourself by measuring the vertical distance (or «head») between the machine's inlet hose and the outlet from the cold water storage cistern, allowing roughly 1 psi for every 2 feet.

Technical diagram of a pipe fitting with a labeled component (A), showing internal components and assembly (no text or symbols beyond label)

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to a purpose-made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-Block.

To make this easier, the hose itself may be turned to the left or the right. In either case, be sure to incorporate the strainer (A) supplied with the machine into the joint. See picture.

Caution: the retaining ring must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.

Diagram of a mechanical device with a rotating component and wiring, no visible text or symbols

Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the flow of water.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you are advised to run the water for a few minutes before con-

necting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.

Water Outlet Connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected as follows:

to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip;

to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm;

hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide provided.

The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the floor.

It makes no difference which way the drain hose faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher.

Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the drain hose.

Ø 21 Ø 18 Ø 21 18 18 α-4 cm min 4 cm max 100 cm + 2 m max max 100 cm min 30 cm max 100 cm

Note: The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to siphon back into the machine.

The electrical connections

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.

The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13amp socket in another part of your home.

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow	- Earth
Blue	- Neutral
Brown	- Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

GREEN & YELLOW 13 AMP FUSE BLUE BROWN CORD CLAMP L.926

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 coloured green and yellow.

Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «N» or coloured black.

Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «L» or coloured red.

The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.

The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre whose address is listed in the Customer Care Booklet which accompanies your instruction manual.

MAINS ON 1 2 TRICTY BENDIX ■ DISHWASHER 3 OFF RCD WASH RIDE & OLD HM* POWER WASH 65° NORMAL WASH 65° 4

1. MAINS ON Indicator Light

This comes on when the ON/OFF button (2) is depressed, indicating that the machine is on.

2. ON/OFF Pushbutton

ON

By depressing this pushbutton the machine starts operating and, at the same time, the Mains On indicator light (1) comes on.

OFF

When the washing programme has finished, the machine stops automatically and the Mains On indicator light (2) remains on. To switch the pilot light off or to stop the machine at any time, press the same button again.

3. Door Handle

To open the door press the catch in the top of the recess and pull the door toward you at the same time.

4. Programme Selector Dial

To select a programme, turn the Programme Selector Dial clockwise, making sure that the grey marker (1) on the knob corresponds with the programme you wish to select.

During the washing programme the Programme Selector Dial turns to indicate the progression of the wash.

At the end of the washing programme the dishwasher stops automatically in one of the STOP positions, and the Mains On indicator light (1) remains on until the ON/OFF pushbutton (2) is depressed.

The Water Softener

Water contains varying amounts of lime and mineral salts depending on the area where you live: these are deposited on the dishes leaving white marks.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water will be. The «hardness» level is measured on 2 equivalent scales: French Degrees or Clarke Degrees. Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water hardness level for your area.

The dishwasher is equipped with a softener which uses special dishwasher salt to provide lime-free (sof tened) water. The softener can treat water hardness up to 90 french degrees / 63 Clarke degrees via 5 adjustment levels.

Find on the table below the level corresponding to the hardness of your water and the required adjustments:

Water hardness		Level	Use of salt	Water softener adjustment	Adjustment on the machine
^ dh Clarke degrees	^ TH French degrees
0-10	0-14	1	**NO	NO	NO
11-27	15-39	2	YES	NO	NO
28-35	40-50	3	YES	YES	NO
36-49	51-70	4	YES	NO	YES
50-63	71-90	5	YES	YES	YES

* The water softener is factory set at level 2 as this suits most users.
** If you use phosphate free detergents containing enzymes, add salt starting from 6 Clarke Degrees.

Level 1

If your water is «level 1» it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.

Levels 3 and 5 (water softener adjustment)

If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:

slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container;

turn the two-position selector anticlockwise from position - to position + with the aid of a knife or a screwdriver.

L5051 SATE SATE

Levels 4 and 5 (adjustment on the machine)

A 151055

If your water is level 4 or 5, open the door and drill membrane (A) on the up per left-hand corner of the machine.

With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments must be made.

Important

Salt MUST be used regularly from level 2 upward, otherwise white lime deposits will build up inside the dishwasher and wash results will be impaired.

Filling with Salt

Only use salt which is specifically designed for use in dishwasher. Other types of salt i.e.: table/cooking salt contain high percentages of other substances which may reduce the efficiency of the water softener. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container. Pour about half a litre of water inside the container, or until it is full (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).

SALT SRILL

Then, using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full (approx. 1,5-1,8 kg). Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt this is quite normal.

Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace

of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

Screw the cap on tightly.

If you have inadvertently spilt salt select a wash pro gramme immediately after.

All that is then required is to periodically top up the container with salt. You are reminded of this by a green refill indicator on the cap of the salt container. This is a float which is clearly visible on the small win dow in the cap when there is salt inside the container, and almost disappears when the salt is finished (i.e. every 30-50 washes depending on the setting of the water softener).

The salt container has always some water inside which will normally overflow when refilling with salt. Caution:

Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and Hold programme). This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time. This could cause corrosion.

Rinse Aid

This liquid ensures thorough rinsing and spot and streak free drying, making the water run quickly off the dishes for sparkling results. It is automatically added during the hot rinse. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16-40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with Rinse Aid

Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.

Add rinse aid until the container is completely full (approx. 110 ml). The indicator (B) will be completely dark.

Top up with rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.

Remember to CLOSE the lid after every refill.

Caution

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the Dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 - minimum dose, position 6 - maximum dose). Gradually increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.

65 321 C B 05:32 A 1 NO.1

Use of Detergent

Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes, except for the rinse and hold programme, load the detergent in the dispenser.

Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers.

Unsuitable detergents (such as those for washing by hand) do not contain the right ingredients for machine washing and hamper correct functioning of the machine.

To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). This will open it.

D LS067

To help you to correctly dose the right amount of detergent, inside the container there are two reference marks:

-MIN=15ml

-MAX=30ml

The amount of detergent to be used varies depending on how soiled the dishes

are and the type of dishes being washed. We recommend the amounts shown in the programme chart on the next pages.

After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the lid.

L.SOX

The programme with pre-wash requires a small extra amount of detergent of approximately 5 g = half dessert spoon to be poured over the lid of the dispenser, as shown on the picture.

At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash.

Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet.

Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful.

Using no more than the correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution.

Tricity Bendix recommends the use of Fairy Dish-washer Detergent and Rinse Aid.

Phosphate free detergents with enzymes

These new detergents, although welcome from an ecological point of view, react far more susceptibly to water hardness than conventional products.

Therefore, in order to avoid white lime deposits on crockery and the inner tub, you should add salt in the water softener even if the hardness of your water is as low as 6 Clarke degrees, when using these new detergents.

Loading your Machine

Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any large scraps of food from the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables, fruit skins etc.) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing performance.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

Use of the Lower Basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.

Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upward.

Mix spoons with the other cutlery to prevent them sticking together.

Use of the Upper Basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in the pictures. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down in the raised cup-racks.

Caution

When loading the dishes, ensure that you do not cover the water inlet funnel in the middle of the upper basket.

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket

If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position as follows:

1 2 A 3 4 LS193

Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outward and slide the basket out.

Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position.

When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 15 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup racks.

HELPFUL HINTS

For Best Washing Results:

Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans.

Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.

Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily.

Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives etc. should be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible; correct arrangement of the items will give better washing results.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so that they do not move during washing.

To Save Energy

Do not prewash dishes under running water.

Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.

If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see Programme Chart on the following pages), so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme.

You will improve drying results by leaving the dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as soon as the programme finishes.

Care must be taken when opening the door, as steam will escape.

Items not Suitable for Dishwashers

The following should not be washed in the dish-washer:

Cutlery or dishes with wooden or horn handles or glued parts.

Handmade items, wooden objects, antiques or hand-painted china.

Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher-proof, should be washed by hand. You are advised to place them in the upper basket and to select a delicate programme.

Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher.

Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others.

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.

Aluminium tends to go black; copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

Caution: You are advised not to load very small or plastic items which can fall through the baskets.

Note: When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher-proof.

Caution: the dishwasher must not be used without filters.

Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce poor washing results.

Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine.

Internal and External Cleaning

You must ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.

We recommend the use of Fairy Dishwasher Cleaner every 3 months, or run a wash programme without dishes using detergent.

Check that the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed. To remove the bottom spray arm, release it from its securing catches and pull it out. To clean the nozzles of the top spray arm, slide out the top basket whereby the spray arm will become accessible. To remove it, withdraw the centre funnel by pressing the two side tabs and undscrewing the retaining ring.

Wash the spray arms under running water and refit them in place.

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a soft damp cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichloroethylene etc...).

Prolonged Periods of Non-Operation

If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to:

unplug the appliance and turn off the water;

fill the rinse aid dispenser;

leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of unpleasant smells;

leave the inside of the machine clean.

Frost Precautions

Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C.

If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the water inlet tap, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.

Moving the Machine

If you have to move the machine (you are moving house etc...):

unplug it;

turn off the water tap;

Note:

The panel height should not be more than that indicated, otherwise complete opening of the door will no longer be possible as the panel hits against the dishwasher plinth.

It is possible to line up the control panel to correspond with the height of the drawers of the adjacent pieces of furniture, thus perfectly co-ordinating with the style of the rest of the unit furniture in your kitchen.

Add one or more of the fillets provided until you reach the desired height. Secure the fillets as shown in the picture, by means of two screws 4.2x38 provided therewith.

Prepare the panel as follows:

1 550 B Z X B ②

Measure the distance (B) between the underside of the control panel (or fillets) and the reference notch (X) on the door.

Measure the same distance (B) on the wooden panel starting from the upper edge.

Position the supporting cross-bar provided, with the reference notch (Z) in line with (B) on door panel. Keep the same distance between the centre of the support's fastening holes and the side edges of the wooden panel when fixing to the door panel.

On the panel mark the position for the four fastening screws. Drill the panel with a ∅ 2x12 bit and fix the supporting cross-bar onto the wooden panel with the 3.5x16 screws provided. Reduce the length of fixing screws according to thickness of panel.

Mount the decor panel by inserting the two pivots of the cross-bar into the slotted holes of the door.

Lift the decor panel until the alignment with the facia panel is obtained.

Once the correct position has been found, open the door and fasten the decor panel on the lower section by means of the two long screws 4x40 provided, using the holes of the inner door (see fig.).

Securing under a counter

A 90° A ① ② 15379

Open the door; vertically insert the two mounting brackets (A) on the front part of the dishwasher and turn them 90° (see fig.). Secure the brackets to the counter by means of two 3.5x16 screws provided.

Important!

The dishwasher must be secured against tilting. Therefore, make sure that the counter it is fitted under, is suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen cabinets, wall).

Attention!

When the dishwasher is secured to the kitchen cabinets, do not drill any holes into the sides of the machine.

Adjusting the door balance

The door of the dishwasher is balanced when it stands still in any position.

Fitting the decor panel may sometimes affect this balance. In this case it will be necessary to adjust the balance as follows: Half-open the door and regulate the screws located on the kick plate.

By screwing or unscrewing these screws, the tension of the door balancing springs is increased or decreased respectively.

Attention!

The weight of the panel should be within the limits given in the "dimensions of the panel", otherwise balancing the door will not be possible.

Levelling

Make sure that the dishwasher door closes properly, without rubbing on sides. Otherwise level the machine by slightly screwing or unscrewing the two front feet until perfect closure of the door is reached.
