Overview

This document provides a comprehensive guide for the operation, maintenance, and installation of the Teka DW7 41 FI dishwasher. It emphasizes safety precautions and offers troubleshooting tips to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.

The dishwasher is designed to efficiently clean a variety of dishes and utensils, offering multiple wash programs tailored to different soiling levels. Key operational features include a user-friendly control panel with program selection buttons, a delayed start function, and indicator lights for power, salt, and rinse aid levels. The appliance incorporates a water softener system to manage water hardness, which is crucial for preventing mineral deposits and ensuring effective cleaning. Users are guided on how to set the water softener according to their local water hardness, as well as how to load dishwasher salt and rinse aid into their respective dispensers. The rinse aid dispenser automatically releases rinse aid during the final rinse cycle, which helps prevent water spots and streaks, and improves drying performance.

Loading the dishwasher baskets correctly is highlighted as essential for achieving the best cleaning results. The manual provides detailed instructions on how to arrange different types of items, such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, and cutlery, to ensure proper water circulation and prevent obstruction of the spray arms. The upper basket's height can be adjusted to accommodate larger items in either the upper or lower basket. Special attention is given to the cutlery basket, with recommendations for placing sharp items safely. The document also advises against washing certain items, such as those with wooden or horn handles, plastic items not marked as dishwasher safe, and delicate crystal glass, to avoid damage.

For optimal performance, regular maintenance of the filtering system and spray arms is necessary. The filtering system, composed of a coarse filter, a main filter, and a fine filter, traps food particles and prevents them from recirculating or clogging the drain. Instructions are provided for disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling these filters. The spray arms, which can become clogged by hard water chemicals, also require periodic cleaning to ensure their jets are clear and rotate freely. The control panel and exterior of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild appliance polish, while the interior can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with water and vinegar or a specialized dishwasher cleaning product.

The manual also addresses situations where the dishwasher might not be in use for extended periods, such as during holidays, recommending steps to prevent odors and maintain seals. For winter protection, specific measures are outlined to prevent freezing, including cutting off electrical power, turning off the water supply, disconnecting the inlet pipe, and draining residual water from the sump.

Installation instructions cover various aspects, including cabinet dimensions, aesthetic panel installation, tension adjustment of the door spring, and connection of drain and inlet hoses. It emphasizes the importance of proper leveling of the dishwasher for correct rack operation and wash performance. Electrical connection guidelines stress safety, advising against the use of extension cords or adapters and ensuring proper grounding. The document also details how to connect the safety supply hose, which features a double-wall system to prevent water flow in case of a hose break.

Troubleshooting tips are provided to help users diagnose and resolve common issues, such as the dishwasher not starting, water not pumping out, suds in the tub, stained interiors, rust on cutlery, and knocking noises. It also includes a section on error codes, explaining their meanings and suggesting appropriate actions, such as checking water supply or addressing leaks. The manual concludes with a table of wash cycles, detailing program time, water consumption, washing temperature, and energy consumption for each program.
