Frequently Asked Questions - TBD4SS-7 Technika

How do I install the Technika TBD4SS-7 dishwasher?

Ensure the unit is placed in a 60 cm wide cutout with proper water and power connections. Level the dishwasher using the adjustable feet and secure it to adjacent cabinets. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water supply and the drain hose to a sink drain or standpipe. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

What programs are available on this dishwasher?

The TBD4SS-7 offers 6 programs: Eco (energy-saving), Intensive (for heavily soiled pots), Normal (everyday use), Quick (30-min cycle), Glass (delicate items), and Rinse (pre-rinse). Select using the control panel.

How do I clean the dishwasher filters?

Turn off and unplug the machine. Remove the lower rack to access the filter assembly. Twist the filter to unlock it, then pull it out. Rinse under running water with a soft brush. Reinstall by aligning arrows and twisting to lock. Clean monthly.

Why is my dishwasher not draining?

Check the drain hose for kinks or clogs. Clean the filter as described above. Also inspect the air gap (if installed). If the issue persists, the drain pump may be faulty and require professional service.

How do I start a delayed wash?

Load the dishes and add detergent. Press the Delay button until the desired delay time (1-24 hours) appears on the display. Press Start to begin the countdown. The machine will start automatically when the time elapses.

What should I do if the dishwasher displays an error code?

Refer to the manual for specific error codes. Common codes include E1 (water inlet issue), E4 (overflow), and E9 (heating fault). Try resetting the machine by unplugging for 1 minute. If the code returns, contact Technika support.

Can I use regular dish soap instead of dishwasher detergent?

No, never use hand dishwashing liquid as it creates excessive suds, leading to leaks, poor wash, and damage. Use only dishwasher tablets, powder, or gel specially formulated for automatic dishwashers.

How do I enable the child lock?

To activate the child lock, press and hold the Child Lock button (usually marked with a padlock) for 3 seconds until the icon appears on the display. Repeat to deactivate. This prevents accidental presses during operation.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule?

Clean the filters monthly, wipe door seals regularly, and run a descaling cycle (with a dishwasher cleaner) every 3 months. Check spray arms for blockages and clean the exterior with a damp cloth.

Where can I find spare parts for the TBD4SS-7?

Spare parts such as filters, spray arms, baskets, and heating elements can be ordered from Technika's official website or authorized dealers. Provide the model number TBD4SS-7 for accurate parts.

Freestanding Installation

Fitting between existing carbinets

The height of the dishwasher, 845 mm, has been designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens. The feet can be adjusted so that correct height is reached. The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof.

Line drawing of a kitchen sink with a grid-patterned wall and an arrow indicating a point of interest (no text or symbols)

Fitting beneath / underneath an existing benchtop

In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (a).

After removing the work top, the screws must be screwed again under the rear edge of the top (b).

The height will then be reduced to 815 mm, as scheduled by the International Regulations (ISO) and the dishwasher will fit perfectly under the kitchen working top.

Water Supply and Drain

Cold water connection

• Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4(inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place.
• If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear. This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance.

i Close the hydrant after using.

Connection of Drain Hoses

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The height of drain pipe must be less than 1000 mm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.

Securely fix the drain hose in either position A or position B.

How to drain excess water from hoses

If the sink is 1000 higher from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

Water outlet

Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water drain hose is not kinked or squashed.

Extension hose

If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose. It must be no longer than 4 meters; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

Syphon connection

The waste connection must be at a height less than 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dish. The water drain hose should be fixed.

Function of Rinse Aid and Detergent

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

When to refill the rinse aid dispenser

Unless the rinse aid indicator ✦ on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the amount from the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse aid diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than 1/4 full. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

Function of detergent

The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

Only detergent specifically made for dishwashers use. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Filling the Rinse Aid Reservoir

1. Remove the rinse reservoir cap by rotating it counter clockwise.
2. Carefully pour in the rinse aid into the dispenser, whilst avoiding it to overflowl.
3. Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it clockwise.

Illustration of a hand operating a control panel with buttons and a knob (no text or symbols)

Do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser.
i Clean up any spilled rinse aid with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the Rinse Aid Reservoir

Turn the rinse aid indicator dial to a number between 1 and 6. The higher the number, the more rinse aid the dishwasher uses. If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

OPERATION

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

1. Press the release catch on the detergent 2 dispenser to open the cover.
2. Add detergent into the larger cavity A for the main wash cycle. For more heavily soiled wash loads, also add some detergent into the smaller cavity B for the pre-wash cycle.
3. Close the cover and press on it until it locks into place.

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher

Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.
Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.

Preparing and Loading Dishes (Continued)

Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:

• Items such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. are faced downwards.
• Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
• All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
• All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.

- The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.

- Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.

- Long and sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

- Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.

i Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

Loading the upper basket

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.

Loading the lower basket

We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items are to be placed into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is of 19 cm, this not to hamper the opening of it.

Preparing and Loading Dishes (Continued)

Loading the cutlery basket

Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket separately from each other in the appropriate positions, and do make sure the utensils do not nest together, this may cause bad performance.

Do not let any item extend through the bottom. Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.

Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.

A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent dispenser opens. If this is the case, follow the instructions below:

1. Press the Start/Pause ( ▶ button to pause the washing.
2. Wait 5 seconds then open the door.
3. Add the dishes.
4. Close the door.

External Care

The door and the door seal

Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits. When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the door is closed.

The control panel

If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth only.

To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

Internal Care

Filtering system

The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary under running water. Follow the steps below to clean the filters in the wash cabinet.

Pictures are only for reference, different models of the filtering system and spray arms may be different.

1. Hold the coarse filter and rotate it anticlockwise to unlock the filter. Lift the filter upwards and out of the dishwasher.
2. The fine filter can be pulled off the bottom of the filter assembly. The coarse filter can be detached from the main filter by gently squeezing the tabs at the top and pulling it away.
3. Larger food remnants can be cleaned by rinsing the filter under running water. For a more thorough clean, use a soft cleaning brush.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Internal Care (Continued)

1. Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the disassembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.

Do not over tighten the filters. Put the filters back in sequence securely, otherwise coarse debris could get into the system and cause a blockage.
Never use the dishwasher without filters in place. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Spray arms

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To clean the spray arms, follow the instructions below:

1. To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut, rotate the arm clockwise to remove it.
2. To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward.
3. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

Caring for the Dishwasher

Frost precaution

Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter.

Every time after running wash cycles, please operate as follows:

1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

After every wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

Remove the plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.

No solvents or abrasive cleaning

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When not in use for a longtime

It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

Moving the appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
