Frequently Asked Questions - CI230WH CDA

Why won't my washing machine start?

Check that the door is properly closed, the machine is plugged in, and the Start/Pause button has been pressed. If the door is not shut, error F04 will appear.

Why is there no water coming in?

This may be due to a water supply cut, a closed tap, or a blocked water inlet filter. Check the tap and clean the filter. Error F01 indicates no water.

Why doesn't the machine drain or spin?

The drain pump may be blocked, or the drainage pipes are obstructed. Access the pump filter as described in the maintenance section. Error F02 is shown.

Why is the machine vibrating excessively?

Ensure transport screws are removed and the machine is levelled using the adjustable feet. Wash a mix of garment sizes to balance the load.

Why can't I open the door immediately after washing?

A safety system prevents opening until the drum is completely still. Wait about 2 minutes after the programme ends.

Why is there water left in the detergent dispenser?

The dispenser or its siphons may be dirty. Remove and clean it with warm water and a brush, ensuring siphons are correctly refitted.

How do I clean the drain pump filter?

Remove the kickplate, place a container under the filter, turn the filter counterclockwise to drain water, then remove and clean it. Reassemble securely.

How do I select the correct wash programme?

Turn the programme selector to match the fabric type and soil level. Refer to the programme table for temperatures, options, and max load (up to 6 kg).

What should I do if the display shows an error code like F01?

Error codes indicate specific issues: F01 (no water), F02 (drain/spin problem), C03 (spin imbalance), F04 (door not closed), F05-F10 (other faults). Follow troubleshooting or contact CDA Customer Care.

How do I level the washing machine?

Adjust the four feet using a spanner until the machine is stable and does not rock. Ensure the feet are not extended too far for best stability.

warnings

To avoid the risk of fire, electric shocks, injury or damage when using your washing machine, please take the following precautions:

■ This washing machine comes with a manual that includes operating, maintenance and installation instructions. Please read all the instructions before using the washing machine.
■ Do not wash items that have previously been cleaned, washed, soaked or treated with petrol, solvents for dry cleaning, other inflammable substances or explosives, as they produce fumes that could catch fire or explode.
■ Do not add petrol, solvents for dry cleaning or other inflammable or explosive substances to the wash water as they produce fumes that could catch fire or explode.
■ Do not repair or replace any part of the washing machine or try to carry out any type of servicing unless it is recommended in the maintenance instructions in the manual.

■ Do not climb onto the machine or stand on the open hatch door.
■ Do not use an extension lead or adaptor to connect your washing machine to the mains supply.
■ The machine should only be used for the purpose it is designed for.
■ Follow the washing instructions recommended by the manufacturer of the garment to be washed.

CONNECTION TO THE

MAINS WATER SUPPLY

The water supply hose is inside the drum:

a Connect the bent end of the hose to the threaded inlet of the electrovalve located at the rear of the washing machine.
b Connect the other end of the hose to the water intake. Then securely tighten the connection nut.

It is important that the drain hose bend is correctly fastened to the outlet, to prevent any risk of it becoming detached and causing flooding.

If your washing machine has a hot water intake, connect the hose with the red threaded end to the hot water tap, and to the electrovalve with the red filter.

The washing machine must be connected to the mains water supply, using the new supply hoses supplied with the appliance. Do not use water supply hoses that have been used before. For your washing machine to work properly, the mains water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1MPa (0.05 and 10 Kgr/cm²).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Consult the specifications plate located on the hatch door of the washing machine before making the electrical connections. Ensure that the voltage reaching the plug is the same as that on the plate.

Do not remove the specifications plate. The information on it is important.

Important

It is very important to correctly earth the washing machine. The electrical installation, plug, socket, fuses or automatic switch and counter must be correctly dimensioned for the maximum power indicated on the specifications plate.

Do not plug the washing machine plug into the socket with wet or damp hands.

To remove the power cord, pull on the body of the plug.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a cord or special unit provided by either the manufacturer or your after-sales service.

With built-in washing machines, the plug must be accessible after installation.

4 INSTALLING THE WASHING MACHINE UNDER A KITCHEN WORKTOP AND PRE-CLEANING

INSTALLATION UNDER A WORKTOP

Your washing machine may be fitted underneath a kitchen worktop.

If you need to remove the washing machine's worktop, for safety reasons you need to fit a protection plate which you can obtain from your Dealer or CDA Customer Care.

Follow these steps to fit the plate:

a Remove the washing machine work top by taking out the side screws and moving it gently back.
b Take out the screws and remove the parts holding the worktop in place.
c Put the protection plate into place and screw it to the washing machine so it can then be inserted in the place you wish, fitting spongy adhesive all around the perimeter first to prevent noise.

PRE-CLEANING

When your washing machine has been correctly installed, we recommend that you pre-clean the machine.

This is to check that the installation, the connections and the drainage are all correct, and to thoroughly clean the inside of the washing machine before any wash programmes are run (see the operating instructions on the following pages).

a Select the normal programme at 60°C.
b Press the start/pause button.

1 PREPARING GARMENTS FOR WASHING

PREPARATION

Important

Before placing the clothes in the drum, make sure all the pockets are empty.

Any small objects may block the drain pump.

Illustration of a hand holding keys and coins, with a shaded area highlighting the lower portion of the object (no text or symbols present)

SORTING THE CLOTHES

a Sort the clothes according to fabric and how they are made:

We recommend using the delicate programmes for sensitive fabrics. There is a special wool programme for woollens.

b Sort clothes according to how soiled they are.

• Wash lightly soiled garments using a short programme.
• Use a programme without prewash for medium-soiled garments.
• Wash heavily soiled garments using a long programme with prewash.

a Sort your clothes according to colour.

Wash whites and coloured separately.

Important

We recommend loading the washing machine to its full capacity. This means savings on water and energy.

Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of different sizes within the same wash programme. This improves the washing action and also aids the correct distribution of the garments in the drum when spin-drying, and the washing machine will therefore be quieter.

It is a good idea to put small garments in a wash bag.

Important

Make sure beforehand that your woollens can be machine-washed.

2 USING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES

using the appliance and practical tips

DETERGENT AND

ADDITIVES

a Your washing machine's detergent dispenser has three compartments.
b Put the detergent or additive into the detergent dispenser before starting the wash programme.
Liquid detergents may also be used in this washing machine.

The level of liquid must never be higher than the MAX mark printed on the dispenser wall.

Remember that the amount of detergent to be used will always depend on:

■ The amount of clothes to be washed.
■ How heavily the clothes are soiled.
■ The hardness of the water (Information on water hardness in your area can be obtained from the local authorities).

We recommend the use of a decalcifying product if the water hardness is high in your area.

eco-note

Remember that concentrated detergents exist which are more environment- and nature-friendly.

The use of more detergent than necessary will not improve you washing results, and apart from costing

you money it will have a negative effect on the preservation of the environment.

We therefore recommend you follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

4 SELECTING THE ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

using the appliance and practical tips

SPIN-DRYING

The selected programme is associated with spin-drying revolutions.

a It can be changed by turning the spin-drying selector command.
b Elimination of spin-drying 0 By turning the spin-drying selector command we come to the spin-drying elimination command. A programme without final spin-drying; it is used for avoiding the formation of creases in special fabrics.

a

b

STOP/ANTI-CREASE

The washing process stops with the last rinsing; the clothes remain with water.

To end the programme, select the desired spin-drying speed and press the Operation/Pause key.

It is used, for example, when you are not at home and want to delay the spin-drying until you get home, to prevent the clothes creasing after spin-drying and being left in the drum to be removed.

SPIN-DRYING

INTENSIVE WASH

This option, specially recommended for heavily soiled, stained clothes, achieves better results by extending the normal wash cycle.

INTENSIVE WASH

EASY IRONING

EXTRA RINSE

Simple line drawing of a curved structure with a circular opening, no text or symbols present

EASY IRONING

This option avoids the formation of creases in the garments by the operation of a special programme with special turns to soften the clothes after the spin so as to make ironing easier.

EXTRA RINSE

Increases the level of the final rinse obtained in the clothes; suitable for large loads and garments belonging to people with sensitive skin. Increases water consumption!

DELAY START

The delay should be selected after choosing the washing programme.

To select the delay hours, turn the delay start control, choosing between 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 19 hours delay. In the delay position, the three washing phase pilot lights will be flashing alternately left and right.

DELAY START

STARTING UP

Start/pause button

a To start up the washing machine you have to press the start/pause button.

5 WASH PROGRAMME PHASES AND POWER CUTS

using the appliance and practical tips

PROGRAMME PHASES

When the programme is running, the phase the programme is at will appear on the display together.

The active phases will appear successively as the programme progresses: the wash, rinse and end.

Any option button can be selected provided the wash phase in which it takes effect has not been passed and when the programme accepts the option.

Pressing the start/pause button during the wash activates the PAUSE function.

Important

If you change the wash programme during the wash using the selector, the PAUSE function is activated and the programme is cancelled.

If you need to add or remove a garment, press the start/pause button and make sure that the water level is not above the door overflow level and that the temperature inside is not high. Press the start/pause button again to restart the wash from the same cycle phase it had stopped at.

POWER CUTS

If there is a power cut, when the electricity comes back on the washing machine will continue to run from where it left off (it has several hours of memory). The same will happen if the ON/OFF button is pressed.

warnings

■ Level the washing machine by adjusting the feet to reduce the noise caused by spin-drying.
■ Try and wash clothes of different sizes in the same wash programme to favour the distribution of the clothes inside the drum during spin-drying.

■ All the models have a safety system for spin-drying that prevents spin-drying from being carried out if the distribution of the clothes inside the drum is too concentrated. This prevents the appliance from vibrating too much.

If you find that the clothes are not properly wrung out, try spin-drying them again after having distributed the clothes more evenly in the drum.

washing machine maintenance and cleaning

MAINTENANCE

After each wash, leave the door open for a while to allow the air to circulate freely inside the machine.

From time to time, depending on the hardness of your water, it is recommendable to run a full wash cycle using a decalcifying product. This will extend the life of your washing machine.

Important

The washing machine should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any cleaning or maintenance is carried out.

1 CLEANING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

Clean the detergent dispenser whenever there is any washing product residue left inside.

a Pull outwards on the detergent dispenser to remove it completely.
b Use warm water and a brush to clean the compartments.
c Also clean the additive compartment siphons, having removed them first. Once they have been cleaned, put them back making sure that they fit right in to the back. Put the dispenser back into the washing machine.

Important

A dirty or incorrectly fitted siphon will prevent the additives from being taken in and leave water inside the compartment at the end of the wash.

a Remove the kickplate by pulling gently on its edges and turning it downwards, to release the clips. If you do not have access from the side, insert a small screwdriver into the three slots at the top of the kickplate, in order to get leverage and release the clips.
b Place a container under the drain pump filter to collect any water that comes out of it.
c Half- or quarter-turn the filter to the left. Water will start to come out.
d When all the water has drained out of the washing machine, turn the filter several times until it can be completely removed by gently pulling on it.
e Remove the objects or fluff caught in the filter or the drain pump.
f Put the filter and kickplate back in place again.

Important

To avoid burns, do not carry out this operation when the wash water is at a temperature of over 30^ C.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE

The outside of the washing machine should be cleaned with warm soapy water or a gentle cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaning products or solvents.

It should then be thoroughly dried with a soft cloth.

Important

When there have been spillages of detergent or additives from the dispenser onto the washing machine cabinet, clean them up right away as they are corrosive.

washing machine safety and troubleshooting

Important

Never open up the appliance. There is no fuse or similar component inside that can be replaced by the user.

If you detect any problems with your washing machine, you will probably be able to rectify them yourself by consulting the following instructions.

If this is not the case, unplug the appliance and contact CDA CUSTOMER CARE.

PROBLEMS

Why won't the washing machine start?

Why is the washing machine vibrating or making too much noise?

This may be due to the following:

■ Check the door is properly shut.
■ The washing machine is not plugged into the mains or there is no voltage in the mains supply.
■ The Start/Pause button has not been pressed.

If the washing machine door is not properly shut, F04 will appear on the display or the wash and end pilot lights will flash alternately.

This may be due to the following:

■ The blocking and transport screws have not been removed.
■ The washing machine has not been correctly levelled.

Why doesn't the washing machine take in water?

■ Indicator F01, no water coming in, this may be due to a cut in the water supply, a tap turned off or a blocked water inlet filter.
The possible solutions are as follows: wait for the water supply to be reconnected, turn on the tap, or remove the water inlet hose and clean the filter.

If this failure is detected, F01 will appear on the display or the wash and rinse pilot lights will flash.

Why doesn't the washing machine drain or spin-dry?

■ The reasons for the F02 indicator may be the following: washing machine drain pump blocked, building drainage pipes blocked, or incorrect pump electrical connection.
■ Solution: if the pump is blocked, gain access to it as described in section 2, maintaining and cleaning the appliance.

If this failure is detected, F02 will appear on the display or the rinse and end pilot lights will flash.

Why doesn't the washing machine spin-dry?

This may be due to an uneven distribution of clothes in the drum and may cause an excessive level of vibrations.
■ The solution is to select a spin-drying programme.

If this failure is detected, C3 will appear on the display or the wash, rinse and end pilot lights will flash alternately while all the other control panel pilot lights will remain off.

Why can't I see any water in the drum during the wash?

This is due to the fact that the washing machine is provided with a system which is able to adapt to the load and type of fabrics, adjusting the levels of water and energy used, in order to preserve the environment.

So, although the water level you can see through the hatch may look low, there is no cause for concern as washing and rinsing efficiency will still be optimum.

Why is there still some water in the dispenser?

Why can't I open the hatch immediately after the wash has finished?

Why doesn't the remaining time shown on the clock coincide with the real time left until the selected cycle finishes?

Other anomalies

This may be because the dispenser needs cleaning. This simple operation is described in Maintaining and cleaning the appliance.

1- Cleaning the detergent dispenser.

Washing machines today are provided with safety systems for users. One of them is that the washing machine cannot be opened until it is certain that the drum is quite still. This is why the hatch cannot be opened for 2 minutes.

This time is for guidance purposes only and may be affected by the conditions under which the selected programme is being run, e.g. initial water temperature, size of load or unbalance caused by the garments during spin drying.

The washing machine can detect other indications. When this happens a number of other indicators appear on the display: F05, F06, ..., F10 or the wash, rinse and end pilot lights will flash, together with one of the other control panel pilot lights.

Check if the problem is repeated and in this case call CDA CUSTOMER CARE.

environmental warnings

eco-note

INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES

When your appliance is of no further use, it should not be disposed of together with general domestic waste.

It can be taken, free of charge, to a specific waste collection centre, run by your local authority, or dealers who provide this service.

Disposing of waste domestic appliances separately means avoiding possible negative consequences for the environment and health, derived from incorrect disposal. This will enable the materials in them to be treated and recycled, obtaining important savings in energy and resources.

To highlight the obligation of collaborating with selective waste collection, the product is marked with a symbol to warn against using traditional containers for disposing of the appliance.
