Detergent dispenser (5)

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.

Bendix recommends the use of Finish dish- washer detergent and Rinse Aid.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

4.Leave the door ajar.

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.7 See illustration.

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.
