installation
ositioning
\fter removing the outer carton,
Osition the appliance in the selected
spot, preferably in the immediate
ricinity of the water supply and
lrainage facilities. The appliance may
ye inserted under a kitchen furniture
worktop or under the sink drainage
yoard (see Page 25). It is unnecessary
(0 allow any ventilation space around
the appliance. However, it is important
that it is not fitted too tightly between
che other kitchen components as to
yrevent it from being easily removed
‘or servicing. The dishwasher is
2quipped with filling and drainage hoses
which can be turned to the right or left
Fig. 1) to suit the installation site. This
is done by loosening the ring-nut which
fastens the hose to the machine. Then
reposition the hose and re-tighten the
ring-nut to prevent leakage.
Plumbing
This appliance has a single water inlet
valve with a female 3/4” BSP thread
connector. The appliance may be fed
with either hot or cold water. However,
the use of a cold water supply is more
economical and provides better
washing results as hot water is
required only for the Main Wash and
the Final Rinse.
A variety of connectors is available
from good hardware and hydraulic
supply stores which satisfy most
domestic plumbing needs. If
modifications in your plumbing are
‘required, consult only qualified plumber
‘or the competent authorities.
Before connecting the dishwasher,
make sure that the water pressure is
contained within the limits specified in
the Technical Data listed on Page 5.

If you decide to make this connection
to a hot water source, make sure that
the temperature never exceeds 70
degrees Centigrade (158 degrees
Fahrenheit).
Your local Water Board will inform you
of the average mains pressure in your
area. When the water is supplied via a
cold water storage cistern or a hot
water cylinder, you can work out the
pressure for yourself in both cases by
measuring the vertical distance (or
«head») between the machine’s inlet
hose, and the cold water storage cistern
outlet, allowing approximately 1 p.s.i.
for every 2.35 feet (a minimum 16.5
foot head is required).
Before connecting the hose, make sure
to connect the mesh filter supplied with
the machine (Fig. 2).

Waste connections
Care must also be taken over the
disposal of the waste water from the
machine. If your dishwasher is not to
be permanently «plumbed in», merely
hook the curved end of the drain hose
firmly over the edge of the kitchen
sink, having made sure that the sink is
empty, and that the waste outlet is not
blocked.
Otherwise, fit a P-trap and stand-pipe
assembly like that in figure 3 (ensure
the pipe has an internal diameter of at
least 38 mm (1% ins), and hook the
drain hose into that). In this case
ensure that there is an air gap between
the hose and the inside of the pipe to
prevent the risk of dirty water being
syphoned back into the machine, and
check that the top of the stand-pipe is
between 300 and 900 mm above floor
level. In addition, make sure that the
stand-pipe/trap assembly discharges
into the same soil system as the
kitchen sink.
With the machine in its permanent
position, do check that the drain hose is
not kinked, or squashed in such a way as
to obstruct the flow of water.
Do not extend the drain hose.

2.6.87 RELATIVE TO RADIO
INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION.

Using your machine
Open the machine by pulling the handle
of the furniture door outwards.
To close the door push it back until you
feel it clicks
Water Softening
The dishwasher has a completely
automatic water softener fitted to it and
you only need to refill the salt container
with coarse salt after approximately 40
washes.
The water softener stops limescale and
mineral salts from entering the wash
water thus preventing whitish marks
appearing on the crockery.
Softened water improves the cleaning
action and, after rinsing, the crockery
and glassware should look clean and
shining.

Filling the Salt Container
Prior to using the dishwasher for the
first time it is necessary to fill the salt
container with water in order that the
initial loading of salt is dissolved.
To do this open the door and slide out
the bottom basket. Unscrew the cap in
the base of the dishwasher (fig. 4) and,
using the funnel supplied fill the salt
container with water. Next (again using
funnel) pour into the same container
1.5 Kg (3 1b) of coarse salt.
Replace the cap making sure that there
is no trace of salt on the thread of the
screw or on the gasket. Screw the cap on
tightly.
Use only coarse salt (which is often
available from garden centres) or salt
sold specifically for dishwashers.
Always refill the container immediately
before starting a complete wash cycle,
(not before Rinse and Hold) so that any
salt granules or salt water which may
flow out of the container (which will
always have some water in it) during
the refilling will not remain on the
bottom of the tub without being
properly diluted.
Salt refill indicator
This model features a refill indicator
light on the control panel. When it
lights up, which will be approximately
every 40 washes, the water softener
needs refilling with salt.

Adjusting the Water Softener
Water hardness will vary according to
the area in which you live. The more
limestone and mineral salts your water
contains, the harder it will be. Ask your
local Water Board to tell you the degree
of water hardness in your area.
This appliance is fitted with Water
Softening Unit which the user may
adjust to suit his or her own needs.
It is preset for water having a maximum
hardness of 27 Clarke degrees.
This setting is designed to suit most of
the field requirements.
If the water hardness exceeds 27 Clarke
degrees (up to a maximum of 42 Clarke
degrees), proceed as follows:
slide out the lower basket and unscrew
the cap of the salt container.
With a screw-driver or a knife turn
by 180° anti-clockwise the 2-positions
selector from position — to position
Rinse Aid
This special liquid is essential for good
results. It ensures quick drying and
shiny crockery and glass by helping the
water to run smoothly off the items
before the salts contained in the water
can leave streaks and stains.
The rinse aid dispenser, which
automatically dispenses the right
amount of liquid at the right time
during the programme, is located inside
the door of the machine next to the
detergent dispenser (see Fig. 6).
To fill the dispenser press the catch A
(Fig. 7) to open the lid. Pour the rinse
aid into the funnel situated under the lid.
The container holds approximately

110 ce of rinse aid, which will last for
about 20 wash cycles.
To the left of the dispenser there is an
indicator which reads «Maximum and
Minimum» to show the level of liquid in
the dispenser («B», Fig. 7).
Adjusting the Quantity of
Rinse Aid
It may be necessary to adjust the
quantity of rinse aid that the machine
dispenses if you live in an area with
either very hard or very soft water.
More rinse aid is needed for hard water
and less rinse aid for soft water. On the
funnel beneath the rinse aid dispenser
lid is a control which is graded from
1-4 (Fig. 8). Leave this control set at
position «1» when first using the
machine, and adjust it only after you
have noticed any of the following
conditions:
A - If the crockery looks dull and/or
shows occasional round spots, increase
the quantity of rinse aid by turning the
control («C», Fig. 8) towards the «4»
position.
B - If the crockery feels sticky or
shows whitish spots, decrease the
quantity of rinse aid by turning the
control («C», Fig. 8) towards the «1»
position.

Loading the Machine
Most tableware, cutlery and cookware
can be safely washed in the
dishwasher.
Check the list on page 22 and do not
put these items in the machine.
Remove bigger scraps of food from the
plates and dishes; eg small bones, fish
bones, scraps of meat and vegetables —
in fact anything that can be scraped off
easily. This will prevent the filter from
clogging. There is no need to rinse the
crockery before putting it in the
machine.
TEC 436
Open the dishwasher by pulling the
furniture door handle outwards.
Slide each basket out to load it.
The lower basket is designed to take
dinner plates (up to 27 em — 10.6 ins —
diameter), serving dishes, cooking
bowls, pots, pans and cutlery. Cutlery
should be put in the removable cutlery
basket.
Mix spoons with knives and forks so
that they will not stick together and
prevent the jets of water cleaning them
properly. Unless your cutlery has very
thin handles, put it in the basket with
the handles downwards. If the handles
are so thin that they stick through the
bottom of the basket, load them with
the handles upwards. The two diagrams
(fig. 9 and 10) show how items can be
arranged in the bottom basket.

The top basket is designed to take
dessert plates, tea plates, saucers, soup
plates (up to 24 em — 9.4 ins —
diameter), serving dishes, cups, mugs
and glasses. The two diagrams (fig. 11
and 12) show how items can be
arranged in the top basket.
Important
Be absolutely sure not to load the
crockery in such a way that it obstructs
the water inlet funnel at the centre of
the basket.
After loading make sure that the spray
arm can turn freely.

Raising and Lowering the Top
Basket
If you have plates over 27 cm (10.6 ins)
diameter and up to 31 em ( 12.2 ins)
the top basket must be raised to a
higher position to accommodate them.
The large plates can then be stacked in
the lower basket. To do this move the
front runner stops of the top basket
(A-fig. 13) outward and remove the
basket. Place the basket on the higher
position and replace the front stops in
the original position.
Note: When the top basket is in the
higher position, it will only take plates
up to 19 em (7.5 ins) diameter and you
will not be able to use the raised cup
section.

Reversible Top Spray Arm
The Upper Spray Arm of this appliance
can be reversed so that all the water is
directed into the lower basket. This
provides an intensive washing zone in
the lower basket for the washing of
heavily-soiled crockery, pots and pans.
This means that the top basket cannot
be used when the Upper Spray Arm
has been reversed.
To reverse the Upper Spray Arm, unclip
the plastic clip holding the spray arm
in position (Fig. 14) and remove it.
Refit the Spray Arm in the reverse
position (with the holes facing down).
Remember to return the Spray Arm to
its original position (with the holes
facing up) when the programme has
been completed.

Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only top quality detergent specially
made for dishwasher.
Filling with Detergent
Add the detergent after loading the
machine. To do this open the detergent
compartment on the inside of the door
by pushing back the lid catch E (fig.
15). Pour the detergent into the
compartment. Close the lid firmly. The
detergent will be automatically
dispensed at the right time.
Quantity of Detergent
This depends on the brand you use, on
the degree of soil and the type of load.
Follow the directions on the powder
packet.
As a guide use:
3 tsps (20g) for normal loads
4 tsps (24g) for heavily soiled load.
If you don’t use enough powder the
results will be poor, on the other hand
too much powder will not improve
results and will just be wasted. You
will soon find out the right amount to
add after using the machine for a few
days.
