i Washing Hints Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance.
Delicate Items 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. 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.
And in which form? 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. 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.

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. After each wash Leave the door open for a while.
Cleaning the filter 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.
Something 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 Bendix Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below. Important: If you call out an engineer to a fault 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.
Symptom 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.
