Frequently Asked Questions - LP7 790 TEKA

How do I install the Teka LP7 790 dishwasher?

Ensure the dishwasher is placed on a level surface. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water supply (¾ inch thread). The drain hose should be connected to the sink drain or a dedicated outlet. Electrical connection must be via a grounded socket (230 V). Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

What are the main programs available on the LP7 790?

The dishwasher offers 6 programs: Intensive (for heavily soiled pots and pans), Eco (energy-saving, standard soil), Normal (daily use), Quick (light soil, 30 minutes), Glass (delicate glassware), and Pre-rinse (quick rinse to prevent odors).

How do I clean and maintain the LP7 790?

Regularly clean the filters (under the lower spray arm) to remove food residues. Wipe the door seals with a damp cloth. Run a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner monthly. Descale if you live in a hard water area using a descaling agent.

Why is the dishwasher not starting?

Check that the door is fully closed and latched. Ensure the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. Verify that the water supply is open and the inlet hose is not kinked. Also, check if a programmed delay start is active.

What does the 'E' error code mean?

Error codes vary. Common ones: E1 (water inlet issue), E2 (drainage problem), E4 (overflow). Refer to the manual's troubleshooting section for specific codes. Resetting the appliance by turning off for 30 seconds may clear temporary errors.

Can I use table salt and rinse aid?

Yes, the dishwasher has a water softener that requires dishwasher salt (fill the compartment under the lower basket). Rinse aid improves drying and should be added to the dispenser inside the door. Adjust settings according to water hardness.

How do I adjust the upper rack height?

Pull out the upper rack completely. On each side, release the levers or pull the rack out of the rails and reinsert at a higher or lower level. Ensure the rack is level before pushing back in.

Is the LP7 790 suitable for built-in installation?

Yes, it is designed as a built-in dishwasher. It can be installed under a standard kitchen worktop (height 82 cm) and integrated with a decor panel. Ventilation gaps are required for air circulation.

How do I enable the child lock feature?

Press and hold the Child Lock button (often indicated by a key icon) for 3 seconds. A lock symbol will appear on the display. Repeat to disable. This prevents accidental pressing of buttons during a cycle.

Where can I find spare parts for the LP7 790?

Spare parts such as filters, spray arms, racks, door seals, and heating elements are available from Teka authorized service centers or online retailers. Use the model number LP7 790 for correct compatibility.

1.2 Washing programs

The dishwasher is equipped with a control panel, described in chapter

"1. Description of the controls", from which it is possible to carry out all the power switch-on, switch-off and programming operations.

Before starting a washing program make sure that:

• The water supply tap is open. - The correct amount of detergent has been added to the dispenser. • The baskets have been correctly loaded. - The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without obstruction. • The dishwasher door is securely closed.

SWITCHING ON

When the ON/OFF button (1) is pressed, the dishwasher switches on. The indicator lights will display the dishwasher's "status".

PROGRAMMING

Programming operations are only possible with the door closed. As long as the door is open, the PROGRAMS (4) lights remain off.

PROGRAM SELECTION

Press the PROGRAM SELECTION

button (3) several times until the light of the program required comes on.

STARTING THE PROGRAM

To start the dishwasher, press the START/PAUSE button (2) for a few seconds, until the light of the selected program starts to flash (confirmation beep).

The light will flash as long as the program is in progress, to indicate that it is being performed.

END OF PROGRAM

At the end of the program the beeper sounds briefly and the program lights 4 and 5 flash.

INTERRUPTING A PROGRAM

To interrupt a program in progress:

• press the START/PAUSE button (2); the light of the program in progress remains on (confirmation beep);
• you may now restart the program by pressing button (2) again until it restarts, or change or cancel the program (see "CHANGING A PROGRAM" or "CANCELLING A PROGRAM").

CHANGING A PROGRAM

To change the running program it is necessary:

• to interrupt the running program (see "INTERRUPTING A PROGRAM"); - select the new program; - start the program (see "STARTING THE PROGRAM").

CANCELLING A PROGRAM

To cancel the program, keep the START/PAUSE button (2) pressed until the program is interrupted (light on and confirmation beep).

Press button (2) again and keep it pressed until the lights 4 and 5 come on.

The water in the tank will be pumped out and the program will end at the point where it was interrupted.

If the door is opened during the operation, when the door is closed again it will be necessary to start the program as described in the paragraph "STARTING THE PROGRAM". The program will resume from the point where it was interrupted.

If the tub temperature is higher than 50°C, the program will start about 30 seconds later.

"3/1" OPTION BUTTON

(available in all programs except the soak program)

By pressing the button (5) you activate the "3/1" option, confirmed when the relative light comes on. This option has been studied for the use of dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on the market as "3 in 1" or "triple action" products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an optimal way avoiding salt and rinse-aid consumption, which could already be found in the dishwasher.

Note: When selecting the "3/1" button, it is normal that the salt and rinse-aid lights remain on, if their containers are empty.

HALF LOAD WASH SETTING

(available in all programs except the soak program)

This function is ideal for small loads and saves water and electricity. It is controlled by the HALF LOAD button (7) and allows washing in the upper basket only.

IMPORTANT: at the end of the program remember to deactivate the function to ensure the next wash is not also carried out in half load mode by mistake.

A cutlery basket can be placed in the upper basket, while the lower basket must be left empty.

CAUTION: there is no point in loading dishes and cutlery in the lower basket, since the jet of water will only reach the upper basket.

ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

The dishwasher is equipped with a device for the user to adjust the water softening system according to the hardness of the water supply.

According to the machine model, the selector which acts on the adjustment may be located:

• inside the plastic locking ring located on the right-hand side, inside the dishwasher; • inside the water softener, just below the cap.

Both allow for adjustment to 5 settings:

WATER HARDNESS TABLE

WATER HARDNESS	SETTING
German Degrees (°dH) French Degrees (°dF)
0 - 4 0 - 7 Setting N. 1 NO SALT
5 - 15 8 - 25 Setting N. 1
16 - 23 26 - 40 Setting N. 2
24 - 31 41 - 60 Setting N. 3
32 - 47 61 - 80 Setting N. 4
48 - 58 81 - 100 Setting N. 5

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

• Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. - Do not wash the dishes in running water. - Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load. - Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing. - If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.

TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save on electricity, observe the following:

• separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures; • do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.

REMOVING THE DISHES

At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the upper basket.

2. Troubleshooting
