Washing Hints  
i
Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the  
Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are  
difficult to remove and should be treated before  
washing with specific products, which can be found  
in most household shops. In some cases it may help  
to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-  
soak product or biological detergent.

The average weights of the most common items are  
listed below as a guide:  
1000g = 1 kg  
Only wool marked «Pure New Wool - washable,  
preshrunk» can be washed in the machine using the  
wool programme; other types of wool should be  
washed by hand or dry cleaned.

400-500 g  
50-100 g  
Pillow case  
Tablecloth  
If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin  
only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left  
in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not  
contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a  
rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to  
ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

Once you have finished using the machine, you are  
advised to unplug it and turn off the water taps.  
To avoid an excessive and damaging amount of  
lather when washing net curtains, it is advisable to  
wash large curtains singularly and take extra care  
when measuring the detergent.  
Man’s shirt  
Apron  
Should an excess of lather accidentally occur, switch  
off the machine, select the spin programme which is  
preceded by a drain cycle, to remove the lather and  
then start the wash again.  
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with  
small ones.  
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,  
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.  
Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may  
unravel.  
Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects  
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws  
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.  
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.  
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.  
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately  
when washing for the first time.  
When washing fabrics requiring different wash  
temperatures together, always select the lowest  
temperature.  
White items should not be washed with coloured  
items.  
Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)  
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.  
Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic  
washing machines.  
Use the correct quantities of detergent.  
For wool, use gentle detergent only in small  
quantities.  
Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care  
and kept out of reach of children.

Delicate Item s  
Which d et ergent t o u se?....  
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.  
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.  
Whites  
We recommend the Ariel product range which is  
biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning  
and stain removal even at low temperatures.  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
And in w hich fo r m ?  
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they  
are also available in different forms. Whether you  
choose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form  
is down to personal choice.  
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  
, start  
the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in  
the dispenser drawer.  
How m u ch d et ergent and fab r ic  
so ft ener ?  
The amount to be used depends on:  
the load:  
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.  
Com pact Powders and Liquids  
if the detergent manufacturer does not make any  
specification for small loads, use a third less for half  
loads, and for very small loads only use half of the  
amount of washing powder recommended for a full  
load.  
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.  
the degree of soiling of the washing:  
for only lightly soiled washing use less washing  
powder. Follow the instructions of the detergent  
manufacturer.  
the water hardness:  
*If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,  
please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed  
before carrying out a drying programme.  
the harder the water, the higher the dosage!  
Using a wat er so ft ening agent  
In hard water areas, the use of a water softening agent  
can reduce the amount of detergent necessary. See  
manufacturers recommendations.  
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:  
For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for use in the  
washing machine/washer dryer. The liquid fabric  
softener should be poured into the compartment marked  
with the symbol  
.
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage instructions and never  
exceed the MAX level.

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 normally use contains lime. It is a good  
idea to periodically run a high temperature wash with  
detergent or use a descaler in the machine. Do this  
separately from any laundry washing, and according to  
the manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent  
the formation of lime deposits.  
Aft er 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.  
Ex t er nal cleaning  
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap  
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.  
Clean the control panel using a damp cloth only.  
Do not use abrasives  
Cleaning t he d isp enser d rawer  
From time to time the washing powder and additive  
dispenser drawer should be cleaned.  
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.  
AL033  
AL021  
Cleaning t he d rawer 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 for a  
P0185  
few minutes without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning t he filt er  
The water drain filter  
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of  
the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every  
washing programme.  
Open the filter door and place a container underneath to  
catch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and the  
machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the  
water manually from the machine at this stage. To do  
this, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sink  
and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor.  
The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When  
the bowl is full, hook the hose back up and empty the  
bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing  
out.  
AL012  
AL015  
Unscrew and remove the filter.  
Clean carefully under a fast running tap.  
Replace the filter turning now clockwise and tighten it.  
P0040  
AL017  
Warning  
When the appliance is in use and depending on the  
programme selected there can be hot water in the filter.  
Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always  
wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is  
empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely  
retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being  
able to remove it.  
The water inlet filters  
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime  
deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.  
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.  
Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the water inlet hoses.  
Remove and clean the filters using a hard bristle brush.  
Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses.  
P0090  
P0021

Som ething Not Working  
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out  
an engineer. Before contacting your Tricity Bendix Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.  
Important: If you call out an engineer to a fault if listed below or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or  
installation a charge will be made even if the appliance is in guarantee.  
Sym ptom  
Possible causes  
The machine does not start  
The door has not been closed.  
The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.  
There is no current at the socket  
The main fuse has blown.  
The selector dial is not correctly positioned and pulled out  
No water is entering the machine (see: the machine does not fill)  
The machine does not fill  
Ensure the water taps are open and the water supply has not been disconnected  
The filter in the inlet hoses are blocked.  
The inlet hoses may be squashed or kinked.  
The water pressure is too low  
The machine fills then empties  
immediately  
The end of the drain hose is too low.  
The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.  
There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.  
The machine does not empty and/or  
does not spin  
The drain hose may be squashed or kinked  
The RINSE HOLD option has been selected.  
The drain filter may be blocked  
The drain hose extension is not correct. Follow the instructions for  
connecting to the waste.  
The drainage system pipes are blocked.  
There is water on the floor  
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too  
much foam).  
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose 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  
The machine vibrates or is noisy  
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 temperature to suit the wash programme has not been  
selected.  
Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.  
The internal packing has not been removed.  
The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.  
The machine is not level.  
The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.  
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.  
The machine is overloaded

Sym ptom  
Possible causes  
The door will not open  
The programme is still running.  
The door lock has not yet released  
The water level in the drum is too high or the machine is heating.  
Spinning starts late or the machine  
does not spin  
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the  
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 load is evenly distributed and spinning can resume  
eventually at a lower speed, if the wash load is still not sufficiently  
balanced distributed, after 10 minutes, the machine will not spin. In this  
case, redistribute the load manually and reselect the spin programme.  
The machine makes an unusual  
noise  
The noise produced when spinning may differ from your previous  
washing machine, which is due to the modern drive system. 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.  
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.

Po sit io ning  
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.  
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.  
COLD WATER SUPPLY  
HOT WATER SUPPLY  
Wat er inlet  
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded,  
blue for cold and red for hot.  
Before connecting the hoses, be sure to fit the black  
washers supplied as per diagram.  
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 should comply with local water authority  
and building regulation requirements.  
A
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.  
AL013  
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.  
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16  
1/2ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of  
the tank.  
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.

Wat er d rainage  
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.

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.  
Sp ecial co nd it io ns  
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 t he int erest o f t he  
enviro nm ent  
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.
