Important safety information  
Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read the instruction booklet carefully, including  
its hints and warnings. Doing so will ensure that your machine will perform properly and to best  
advantage. Anyone using the machine should be thoroughly familiar with its instructions for use  
and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the machine if it is  
moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance  
use and safety.  
Only use detergent specifically designed for use in  
Installation and servicing

If you take any dishes out of the machine before the  
end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important  
to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove  
any remaining detergent.  
must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work  
performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may  
adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the  
product and may cause personal injury or damage.  
Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it  
must be isolated from the electrical supply. To do this  
the power plug must be removed from the wall socket.  
Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards.  
It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket.

power supply during cleaning and maintenance work.  
After using the machine, turn off its water supply and  
disconnect it from the power supply. When removing  
the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the cable.  
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a  
special cable or assembly available from Service Force.  
Identification of materials  
Make sure that the power cable is not nipped or other-  
wise damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed  
or kinked when moving the dishwasher in connection  
with installation or cleaning etc.  
All materials used in packaging this machine are  
environmentally-friendly. The various plastics used  
are identified and can be recycled:  
• PE stands for polyethylene, which is used for the  
bag around the machine and the bag in which  
these instructions were supplied.  
Servicing and repairs must be carried out by a trained  
service technician. Only use genuine spare parts  
available from your local Service Force Centre. Never  
try to repair the dishwasher yourself.  
• PS stands for polystyrene (moulded), which is  
used for the sections of packaging needed to  
cushion the machine.  
Child Safety  
The dishwasher should be used by adults only. Do not

let children play with the controls or other parts of it.  
The machine contains plastic and rubber components.  
These have identifying marks to show what they are  
made from, so they can be recycled or disposed of  
properly at the end of the machine's life.  
The materials are identified according to international  
standards.  
Keep all packaging well away from children.  
Keep all detergents in safe place out of children´s  
reach.  
Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing  
on the open door.  
During Use  
This dishwasher is designed solely for washing house-  
hold utensils suitable for machine washing. Using it for  
other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage  
to property and invalidate the guarantee.  
Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running,  
as hot steam may escape.

Important  
Spray arm (2)  
Make sure that the machine is unplugged and the water  
turned off before undertaking any kind of maintenance.  
The holes in the spray arm nozzle must be kept clean to  
ensure satisfactory wash results. Inspect the spray arm  
regularly. When thorough cleaning is necessary, remove  
the spray arm by unscrewing the nut clockwise (it has a  
left-handed thread) and lift off the spray arm.  
General cleaning  
Inspect the filters and spray arm nozzle before re-loading  
the machine and remove any food scraps. Wipe round  
the rubber gasket at the bottom of the door to remove  
grease which tends to collect there.  
Wash the spray arm with hot soapy water using a stiff  
saucepan brush if necessary to remove scraps.  
Re-assemble carefully, making sure the nut is secure.  
Rinse aid dispenser (1)  
Coarse filter (3)  
Use of rinse aid will result in faster drying of the load and  
gives the dishes a shiny finish. It may be necessary to  
adjust the quantity of rinse aid dispensed if you live in either  
a very hard water or a very soft water area. More is needed  
for hard water and less for soft water. Leave the dispenser  
in its preset position when you first use the dishwasher and  
only adjust if, after a few cycles, you notice the following:  
The purpose of the coarse filter is to catch large objects  
such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure  
that the filter is always clean. Lift it out and rinse it under  
running water whenever necessary.  
Fine filter (4)  
It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or  
clogged filter will impair washing efficiency. The fine filter  
can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have  
removed the coarse filter.  
• Crockery remaining dull looking and/or showing  
occasional round spots. If this happens, increase the  
quantity of rinse aid by turning the red dial below the  
filler trough clockwise.  
The dishwasher must not be used without the  
filters. Incorrect repositioning of the filters will  
produce poor washing results.  
• Crockery feeling sticky or showing whitish spots. If this  
happens, decrease the quantity of rinse aid by turning  
the red dial below the filler trough anti-clockwise.  
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct  
operation of the machine.  
The dispenser holds about 140 ml. This is enough for 40-  
70 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. When  
the rinse aid level is approaching the bottom of the scale it is  
time to refill the dispenser. Swivel out the filler trough and  
carefully fill up with rinse aid until the level reaches up to  
the red mark on the level indicator tube. Do not overfill, and  
carefully wipe off any spillage with a damp cloth immediately.  
Don’t forget to close the filler trough afterwards.  
Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid  
detergent.

Detergent dispenser (5)  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Wipe the outside of the cabinet and control panel regularly  
with a soft damp cloth. If necessary, use warm soapy water,  
rinse with a damp cloth and rub dry with a soft duster.  
Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers.  
Pour the detergent into the compartment, for a normal  
load pour about 15g. Since not all detergents are the  
same, you should also consult the instructions on the  
packet. Remember that the instructions usually refer to  
full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent  
tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Using the  
correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing  
pollution.  
Never use abrasive cleaners which could damage the  
surface, ie: scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichlori-  
ethylene, etc).  
If the machine is not going to be used for some time, take  
the folllowing precautions:  
1. Unplug the machine and turn off the water supply.  
2. Fill up the rinse aid container.  
Bendix recommends the use of Finish dish-  
washer detergent and Rinse Aid.  
3. Make sure the tub is clean by carrying out a wash  
programme (without any crockery) using Finish  
Dishwasher cleaner, then dry the inside thoroughly.  
Water softener (6)  
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard  
(chalky) water, therefore the rinse aid dispenser should  
be set for a low dosage.  
4. Leave the door ajar.  
The lime (chalk) in hard water causes white deposits to  
occur on dishes and the interior of the dishwasher.  
To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special  
container where its hardness is removed. Since the water  
softener consumes coarse dishwasher salt, you will have  
to replenish the salt container after a certain number of  
dishwashing cycles. When the indicator lamp on the  
control panel lights up, it is time to fill up with salt.  
Proceed as follows:  
1. Unscrew the salt container filler cap.  
2. Fill up salt container with water (only the first  
time).  
3. Fill the container with coarse salt. Use the funnel  
supplied with the machine.  
Ordinary domestic salt will affect the efficiency  
of the water softener and damage it.  
4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage.  
5. Screw the filler cap back in place.  
The salt container holds about 1 litre, which is enough for  
about 20 - 30 dishwashing cycles. Always ensure that  
there is water in the salt container before filling with salt.  
Water softener plug (7)  
As supplied from the factory, the water softener is set for  
a water hardness of up to 20°dH. If your water is harder  
than this, you can increase the capacity of the water  
softener by pulling out the rubber plug at the rear of the  
dishwasher on the left hand side viewed from the back.  
See illustration.  
7
Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water  
hardness level for your area.  
Never run the dishwasher without salt in the container as  
this may damage the water softener. If the damage is slight,  
the water softener function can be partially restored by  
filling the container with salt and then running the Normal  
cycle 4-5 times.

How to load the dishwasher  
The illustration shows the machine loaded with five stan-  
dard place settings. Your own dishes are not likely to be  
identical to this load, but if you follow the advice below  
we are sure you will be pleased with the results.  
1
• Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down.  
• Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the  
water can run off when drying.  
• Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each  
other. This is particularly important in regard to the  
cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. simply cannot be  
properly washed. The water must get at all the soiled  
surfaces.  
• Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other  
items do not protrude through the openings in the  
basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating.  
• Never put silver and stainless steel objects together.  
When these metals come into contact with each other  
a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver.  
• China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may  
not be suitable for machine washing as the colours  
may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to  
cutlery with wooden or plastic handles.  
Make sure you always buy articles that are  
dishwasher proof.  
• Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you  
are in doubt as to whether your plasticware can be  
machine washed, we suggest you check by washing  
a single item or else wash them by hand.  
2
• Aluminium becomes dull and tarnished when machine  
washed. The machine gets it clean, but at the expense  
of its appearance.  
• When washing delicate items, select the lower wash  
temperature.  
• Substances such as ketchup containing strong  
colouring agents can cause temporary discolouration  
in the machine.

Unpacking the machine  
If the machine is damaged  
If the dishwasher has been damaged during transport,  
you should immediately notify the company responsible  
for delivering it.  
Check that the dishwasher is undamaged. If you  
discover any damage, faults or that anything is missing,  
you should notify the dealer immediately.  
Never leave packaging material in a place where  
children may play with it.  
Check that the following accessories are supplied with  
the dishwasher when you unpack it:  
1
• A funnel for filling with salt (1)  
• Elbow for discharge hose (2)  
2
Use  
This dishwasher is designed solely for washing household  
utensils suitable for washing in a dishwasher. Using it for  
other purposes may damage it and invalidate the guarantee.  
Protecting the machine against  
freezing  
If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the  
temperature sometimes falls below 0° C, there is a risk  
that the small amount of water which remains inside the  
parts of the dishwasher will freeze and damage it.  
To prevent this you should:  
1. Turn off the water supply to the machine and  
disconnect the water intake hose from the  
supply pipe.  
2. Make sure that there is dishwasher salt in the  
salt container for the water softener.  
The appliance is only to be used and stored  
indoors at normal room temperature. The manu-  
facturer accpets no responsibility for any frost  
damage.  
- 13 -  
 
Installation  
The dishwasher is intended for installation on a  
kitchen sink or worktop. It is important to ensure  
the dishwasher is level to avoid any difficulty  
opening and closing the door. Its height can be  
adjusted with the adjustable feet (8 mm each) in  
each corner of the dishwasher.  
Water inlet  
The dishwasher should be permanently plumbed  
into a separate cold water supply.  
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 from a cold water 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 .86 psi for every 2 feet under normal  
conditions.  
We would advise you to have a shut-off valve or  
stopcock in the water supply pipe close to the dish-  
washer and accessible for easy use. This should  
be turned off when the appliance is not in use.  
Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4” pipe  
thread.  
The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of  
extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose  
must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose,  
specially designed for the purpose. The end of the  
hose, which is connected to the dishwasher can be  
turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut,  
turn the hose, then retighten the nut.  
Check that the nut is tight before the  
machine is moved into position.  
Use only the inlet hose supplied to the  
dishwasher, do not reuse the old inlet  
hose.  
Water drainage  
Place the discharge hose over the sink as illustrated.  
It must not at any point be higher up than 75 cm over  
the surface which the dishwasher is standing on.  
If it runs higher, operation of the dishwasher might  
be impaired.  
It is also important to ensure that the inside diameter  
of the hose is not less than 13 mm at any point.  
If the discharge hose is too long it can easily be cut  
to the right length.  
1. Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a  
sharp knife.  
2. Fit the elbow supplied onto the end of the  
hose.  
- 14 -  
 
Power supply  
The dishwasher is supplied with a lead and electrical plug  
for connection to a 230 V, 13 A earthed wall socket.  
Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be  
isolated from the electric mains supply, for example by  
removing the plug from the wall socket.  
Permanent electrical installation must be  
carried out by an authorised electrician or  
competent person.  
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.  
GREEN & YELLOW  
13 AMP FUSE  
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 13  
amp 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  
Blue  
- Earth  
- Neutral  
- Live  
BROWN  
CORD CLAMP  
BLUE  
Brown  
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:  
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 13 amp BSI362 fuse.  
Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.
