Frequently Asked Questions - DH150 Tricity Bendix

How do I adjust the water softener on my Tricity Bendix DH150 dishwasher?

The water softener can be adjusted using a screwdriver to turn the selector on the upper front corner of the machine. Refer to the hardness of your water supply (in Clarke, French degrees, or PPM) and set the level accordingly. The factory default is level 2. If your water is very soft (level 0), set it to level 1 and do not use salt.

What detergent should I use in my DH150 dishwasher?

Only use detergents specifically designed for dishwashers, such as Finish products (tablets, powder, or liquid gel). Follow the dosage instructions on the packet. For tablet detergents, place one tablet inside the detergent dispenser; if the programme has a prewash, place a portion of a second tablet on the lid of the dispenser.

How do I clean the filters in the DH150 dishwasher?

After each wash, rinse the central filter (drain filter) under running water. Every month, clean the large filter on both sides with a brush. To remove the large filter, pull the spray arm upwards, turn the column anticlockwise by 90°, and slide out the filter. Ensure filters are correctly repositioned before use.

Why are my dishes not drying properly?

Check the rinse aid level and increase the dosage if necessary (adjust the selector on the rinse aid dispenser from position 3 upward). Also, leave the dishwasher door ajar for 15-30 minutes after the programme finishes to improve drying. Ensure the rinse aid compartment is filled and the lid is closed tightly.

What should I do if the dishwasher won't start?

Ensure the door is properly closed, the plug is fully inserted into the power socket, and there is no power failure. Check that the mains water supply is turned on and the inlet hose is not kinked or blocked. If the issue persists, consult the 'Something Not Working' section in the manual.

How do I set the rinse aid dosage on the DH150?

The rinse aid dispenser has a 6-position selector (C). Start at position 3. If there are water drops or lime spots on dishes, increase the dose. If there are sticky white streaks, decrease the dose. Fill the dispenser until full; the indicator (B) turns dark when full and clear when empty.

Can I install the DH150 dishwasher under a counter?

Yes, you can remove the worktop by unscrewing the two rear retaining screws, then pulling and sliding it out. Adjust the height with the levelling feet before sliding the machine into the recess. Ensure the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.

What items should not be washed in the DH150 dishwasher?

Do not wash items contaminated with petrol, paint, steel/iron debris, corrosive, acidic, or alkaline chemicals. Also avoid wooden or horn-handled cutlery, bronze cutlery, wooden-handled saucepans, aluminium ware, crystal, leaded glass, plastic items not labelled dishwasher-safe, and antique china with delicate decorations.

How do I add salt to the water softener?

Unscrew the cap of the salt container. Before first use, pour 1 litre of water inside. Then fill with dishwasher salt using the funnel provided. Replace the cap tightly, ensuring no salt on the thread or gasket. Refill when the green float in the cap indicator disappears. Only fill before starting a full wash programme (not the Rinse & Hold programme).

What is the capacity of the Tricity Bendix DH150 dishwasher?

The dishwasher has a capacity of 12 standard place settings, suitable for a typical household. The upper basket can hold plates up to 24 cm in diameter (or 20 cm when in the higher position), and the lower basket can accommodate larger items up to 31 cm when the upper basket is raised.

Drying

Before use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Set the water softener
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

Setting the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.

If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

To adjust the water softener

With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front corner of the machine until the level required corresponds with the marker.

Water hardness			Level	Use of salt
Clarke degrees	French degrees (°TH)	PPM (Parts per Million)
0 - 6	0 - 8	0 - 80	0	NO
7 - 17	9 - 20	81 - 200	1	YES
18 - 28	21 - 40	201 - 400	2	YES
29 - 42	41 - 60	401 - 600	3	YES
43 - 63	61 - 90	601 - 900	4	YES
64 - 84	91 - 120	901 - 1200	5	YES

If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. In this case adjust the water softener to level 1 without using salt.

Filling with salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.

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 spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.

The salt container will require topping up periodically.

The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container, and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding you to add salt.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. 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

1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. 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 dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).

Start from position 3.

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.

Using your appliance

Loading your appliance

Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance.

Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, 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.

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

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 upwards.

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

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.

Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.

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

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.

To move to the higher position proceed as follows:

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

2. 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 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup racks.

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

We recommend the use of Finish detergents which are available in the following options:

Finish Double Action Tablets. Each tablet has the exact amount of detergent required, simply place in the dispenser.

Finish Powder recommended for every day use.

Finish Liquid Gel ideal for more delicate items such as fine bone china.

If using powder detergents proceed as follows:

1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the instructions given on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent over the lid of the dispenser.

If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:

1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser.

Line drawing of a hand using a tool to adjust or install a device with a dial (no text or symbols visible)

Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results and is also wasteful.

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

Hints and tips

To save energy

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 "Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme.

Do not prewash dishes under running water.

For best washing and drying results

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

Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.

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

Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.

Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

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

Items not suitable for dishwashers

The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):

• Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
• bronze cutlery
• saucepans with wooden handles
• aluminium ware
• crystal ware
• leaded glass
• plastic items
• antique or fine decorated 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.

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

A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together.

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

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

If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item.

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

For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergents, rinse aid and salt.

In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.

Important! Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape.

Maintenance and cleaning

Internal cleaning

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 Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every 3 months or run a 65°C wash without dishes using detergent. Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans inaccessible parts, eliminates unpleasant food odours and helps prevent the build-up of limescale.

Cleaning the central filter

(After each wash)

Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water.

To remove the drain filter

- simply pull it out by the handle.

Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original position until it engages.

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

1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
4. 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 appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.

Moving the machine

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

1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
   Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.

2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide provided.
3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.

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

The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher

Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed 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 connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

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.

Electrical connection

This appliance must be earthed. The manufacturer declines any responsibility should this safety measure not be observed.

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

Important

The wires on 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:

1. 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.
2. Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.
3. 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 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI 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 product.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Service Force Centre.

This appliance complies with the following E.E.C. Directives:

• 73/23 or 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and subsequent modifications;
• 89/336 or 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications.

Adjusting the worktop

You can move the worktop forward or backward by 25 mm in order to align the machine with other kitchen units.

Simply unscrew the two rear retaining screws, move the top to the required position and then retighten the screws.

Fitting under a counter (kitchen worktop or sink)

By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture.

Proceed as follows:

- Remove the machine's worktop by unscrewing the two rear retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out the rear slots, lifting the worktop.

Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.

Levelling

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

When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet.

If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
