Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry  
with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

G
Check with your local Council or Environmental  
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area  
for re-cycling this appliance.  
The ECO VALVE allows total use of detergent and  
reduces water consumption so saving energy.  
When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the  
power supply cable and make the door lock device  
unusable to prevent young children from being  
trapped inside.  
Ecological hints  
To save water and energy and help protect the  
environment, we recommend that you follow these  
hints:  
G
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised  
disposal sites for your old appliance.  
G
Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the  
hardness of your water supply, the amount of  
laundry and the degree of soiling.  
How do we help to protect the environment?  
We use recycled paper!  
G
A programme without prewash is sufficient for  
normally soiled laundry.  
G
The machine works more economically if it is fully  
loaded.  
G
With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited  
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be  
washed at a lower temperature, so saving energy.  
Important  
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.  
If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly  
distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the  
wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something  
Not Working".

And in which form?  
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they  
are also available in different forms. Whether you chose  
a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is  
your own personal choice.  
Which detergent?....  
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your  
appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in  
your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended  
for use in automatic machines.  
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and  
household textiles and to make them last longer you  
should use different types of detergent for different  
washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.  
TRADITIONAL POWDERS  
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do  
not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.  
TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS  
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of  
the detergent drawer marked with the symbol  
the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in  
the dispenser drawer.  
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the  
specially designed dosing device* which should be  
placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the  
machine drum.  
WHITES  
We recommend the Ariel product  
range which is biological and  
designed to provide excellent  
cleaning and stain removal even  
at low temperatures.  
, start  
NON BIOLOGICAL  
If you prefer to use a non  
biological detergent, which does  
not contain enzymes we  
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides  
good cleaning and stain removal.  
COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS  
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also  
known) are available in liquid or powder form, and  
generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most  
economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the  
dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent  
into the specially designed dosing device* which  
should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back  
of the machine drum.  
COLOUREDS  
For coloured items you should use a  
detergent which is designed to clean  
while maintaining the original colour.  
Ariel Color does not contain bleach  
and therefore helps to preserve  
colours.  
* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,  
please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed  
before carrying out a drying programme.  
DELICATE ITEMS  
FABRIC CONDITIONERS  
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also  
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing  
easier. They are available in two types:  
When washing delicates such as  
woollens, you should use a product  
which is specially designed to care for  
fine fabrics.  
Dreft Automatic is suitable for  
woollens and other delicates.  
For example Lenor liquid fabric  
softener, for use in the washing  
machine/washer dryer. The  
liquid fabric softener should be  
poured into the compartment  
LAUNDRY BLEACH  
For additional stain removal you may  
wish to use a product such as Ace  
Gentle Bleach which is used in addition  
to your chosen detergent. Ace is  
suitable for all washable fabrics  
including silks, woollens and coloureds.  
marked with the symbol

Follow the manufacturer’s dosage  
instructions and never exceed the  
MAX level.  
Bounce conditioning sheets for use  
in a tumble dryer. We recommend  
the conditioning sheets are pinned  
(using a safety pin) to an article  
of laundry and placed in the  
tumble dryer.

Important Notes  
For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for  
dispensing detergents and liquid additives.  
Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it  
in gently. This is particularly important if you are using  
fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the  
machine prematurely.  
When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme,  
place the detergent into the correct compartment in the  
dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you  
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity  
supply.  
Descaling  
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good  
idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the  
C0073  
C0072  
machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing,  
and according to the softening powder manufacturer's  
instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of  
lime deposits.  
Cleaning the drawer recess  
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean  
the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is  
removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.  
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme  
without any clothes in the drum.  
After each wash  
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent  
mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.  
Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to  
preserve the door seal.  
Maintenance Wash  
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to  
get a build up of residues inside the drum.  
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed  
on a regular basis.  
P0038  
Cleaning the pump  
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly  
if  
To run a maintenance wash:  
G
The drum should be empty of laundry.  
G
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.  
• the machine does not empty and/or spin  
• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining  
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking  
the pump.  
G
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a  
powder (such as Ariel Futur).  
External cleaning  
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap  
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.  
Proceed as follows:  
• Disconnect the appliance.  
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.  
• Open the pump door.  
Cleaning the dispenser drawer  
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer  
should be cleaned regularly.  
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards  
and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove  
any traces of accumulated powder.  
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive  
compartment should be removed.  
P1114  
• Place a container close to the pump to collect any  
spillage.  
• Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the  
container and remove its cap.  
15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
• When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump  
cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry  
up spillage of water when removing the cover.  
Remove and clean the filters using a hard bristle brush.  
Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses.  
P0090  
P0021  
P1115  
The dangers of freezing  
Remove any objects from the pump impeller by  
rotating it.  
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,  
certain precautions should be taken.  
G
Turn off the water taps.  
G
Unscrew the inlet hoses.  
G
Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and  
that of the inlet hoses in a bowl placed on the floor  
and let water drain out.  
G
Screw the water inlet hoses back on and reposition  
the emergency emptying hose after having put the  
cap on again.  
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and  
place the latter back in its seat.  
G
When you intend to start the machine up again,  
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.  
Important!  
Every time you drain the water through the emergency  
emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the  
main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and  
then run the drain programme. This will activate the  
ECO valve avoiding that part of the detergent remains  
unused at next washing.  
P1117  
• Screw the pump cover fully in.  
• Close the pump door.  
Emergency emptying out  
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to  
empty out the machine:  
Warning  
When the appliance is in use and depending on the  
programme selected there can be hot water in the pump  
circuit. Never remove the pump cover during a wash  
cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the  
cycle, and is empty. When replacing the pump cover,  
after a cleaning inspection, ensure it is securely  
retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being  
able to remove it.  
• pull out the plug from the power socket;  
• close the water tap;  
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;  
• open the pump door;  
• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the  
emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its  
cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl.  
When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose.  
Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water  
stops flowing out;  
Cleaning the water inlet filters  
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime  
deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.  
• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;  
• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after  
having plugged it;  
• screw the pump cover again and close the door.  
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.  
Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the water inlet hoses.

Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose(s) fittings.  
It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check  
to see if it is damp.  
The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.  
The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.  
The drainage system pipes are blocked.

Unsatisfactory washing results  
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An  
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and  
causes lime scale to form.  
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing  
The correct wash programme has not been selected.  
Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.

G
G
tub.  
G
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the  
Spinning starts late or the machine  
does not spin  
laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is  
redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several  
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.  
If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the  
drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load  
manually and reselect the spin programme.  
G
The machine makes an unusual  
noise  
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual  
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures  
a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum  
when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.  
G
No water is visible in the drum  
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically  
using very little water without affecting performance.  
If after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your  
local Tricity Bendix Service Force Centre.

Before connecting the hoses, be sure to fit the black  
washers supplied as per diagram.  
Positioning  
Your new Tricity Bendix washing machine has been  
designed to be permanently plumbed in to your home’s  
water supply and drainage system. However, if this is  
not possible, it may be connected to suitable existing  
taps, with the drain hose discharging into the sink.  
A
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with  
female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this connection  
is not compatible with the plumbing of the existing  
installation, a variety of connectors are available from  
good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit  
most domestic plumbing. Any alterations to your  
existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent  
person, or qualified plumber.  
AL013  
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two  
hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a ‘Y’  
connection piece.  
Installation on a Suspended Floor  
Installation should comply with local water authority  
and building regulation requirements.  
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to  
vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you  
place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick  
under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams  
with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of  
the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.  
The appliance must be given a separate cold water  
supply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single  
outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum  
water pressure of 7psi is required for safe operation of  
the appliance.  
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct  
from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the  
appliance from your cold water storage system.  
Water inlet  
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded,  
blue for cold and red for hot.  
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16  
1/2ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of  
the tank.  
COLD WATER SUPPLY  
HOT WATER SUPPLY  
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water  
supply from the hot water cylinder if the height between  
the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the cold water  
storage cistern (not between the appliance and the hot  
water cylinder) is at least 2.74m (9ft).  
Set the hoses correctly by loosening the ring nuts. After  
positioning the inlet hoses, be sure to tighten the ring  
nuts again to prevent leaks.

Water drainage  
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed  
into your home's water supply and drainage system.  
3 pin  
The appliance drain hose should hook (use the plastic  
“U-piece” supplied) into a standpipe with an internal  
diameter of approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus  
ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose  
and standpipe.  
P1039  
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of  
the curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35.4'')  
and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level. The  
upright standpipe should have a minimum length of  
30cm (12'') from the bottom of the elbow to the top of  
the pipe (see diagram).  
1
38 mm.(1/2") diameter  
standpipe  
P1040  
Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the end  
of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.  
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 3  
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is  
available from your local Service Force Centre.  
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of  
18mm.  
If you intend the drain hose to empty into a sink, make  
sure that the sink is empty and the plug hose is not  
blocked. Use the plastic “U-piece” supplied.  
Important  
G
P0022  
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework  
or to pipework that has not been used for some time,  
run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any  
debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Levelling  
Level the washing machine by loosening or tightening  
the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by  
pushing the nuts against the base of the case.  
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and  
displacement of the machine during operation. After  
levelling the machine, secure the feet by tightening the  
ring nuts with the aid of a screwdriver.  
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a  
wooden floor.  
P0254  
P0509  
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to  
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,  
always place the machine on a solid floor.  
Special conditions  
If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet or  
covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid  
support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or  
displacement. The base should protrude a few  
centimetres beyond the edges of the machine.  
Warning  
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile  
carpeting.  
Note  
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is  
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a  
breakdown.  
In the interest of the  
environment  
Washing machines and dishwashers should be  
connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will  
then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before  
being discharged safely into a river.  
SHOWER  
It is essential that these appliances are not connected to  
the surface water drainage system as this water is  
discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause  
pollution.
