Frequently Asked Questions - CI250 CDA

How do I install the washing machine?
Remove all packaging and transit bolts. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap and the drain hose to a standpipe or sink. Level the machine by adjusting the feet. Plug into a grounded outlet.
What should I do if the machine does not start?
Check if the door is properly closed, the power cord is plugged in, and the water supply is turned on. Ensure the child lock is not activated. Try resetting by unplugging for 1 minute.
How often should I clean the filter?
Clean the filter every 2-3 months. Open the filter cover at the bottom front, drain any water, remove and rinse the filter under running water, then reinsert.
What does the 'E01' error code mean?
Error E01 indicates a door lock fault. Ensure the door is fully closed and free of obstructions. If persists, the door lock may need replacement.
Can I wash a duvet in this machine?
Yes, as long as the duvet fits comfortably in the drum (max 7 kg). Use a delicate program with low spin speed to avoid damage.
Why is the drum not spinning?
Possible causes: unbalanced load, drain pump blockage, or a faulty belt. Try redistributing laundry, or check the filter and drain hose for obstructions.
How do I use the quick wash program?
Select the ‘Quick’ program on the dial. Adjust temperature if needed (default 30°C). The cycle lasts about 30 minutes, ideal for lightly soiled clothes.
What detergent should I use?
Use a high-efficiency (HE) detergent suitable for front-loaders. For sensitive skin, choose a hypoallergenic detergent. Always follow dosage instructions.
Is the machine noisy during spin?
Normal spin noise is around 76 dB. Excessive noise may be due to unbalanced load or loose feet. Ensure the machine is level and not touching walls.

Tips for the user

This appliance was designed with the utmost care for environmental safety.

Your supplier or the local authorities will be able to tell you how and where to dispose of old equipment.

Disposal of packaging materials

CDA CI250 - Disposal of packaging materials - 1

Don't throw the packaging from your appliance in the rubbish but separate the various materials (eg. polystyrene, plastic bags) according to local regulations on waste disposal and current law. Don't let children play with them as they are potentially dangerous.

Important: When you decide to no longer use an old appliance, it's best to render it inoperative by unplugging it, cutting the power cable and disposing of it together with the plug. It is also advisable to put the door, hinges and lock out of action to prevent children from locking themselves inside the appliance.

Crossed WEEE wheelie-bin

CDA CI250 - Crossed WEEE wheelie-bin - 1

This appliance carries European Directive 2002/96 marking relative to disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The symbol of the crossed-out wheelie-bin means that at the end of its useful life the appliance must not be treated as normal waste but taken to a collection centre where electrical and electronic appliances are sorted or to a retailer on buying a new appliance of a similar sort. Recycling disposal of this appliance helps prevent the negative effects on the environment and people's health that may arise from improper treatment of the product. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with current local environmental regulations. For more detailed information on treatment, disposal and recycling of this product, contact your local waste disposal service or the store where you bought the appliance.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage to persons, animal or property arising from failure to comply with the following rules.

Warning! After removing the packaging, make sure the appliance is undamaged. If you are not sure, don't use it and consult a qualified technician or your retailer.

Before using the appliance, carefully read this instruction booklet and in particular the sections on installation, safety, proper use and maintenance. Look after the booklet so you can consult it and eventually pass it on to a new owner.

This appliance must not be used for any purposes other than that for which it was designed.

It must be installed by a professionally qualified person following the manufacturer's instructions.

Before any cleaning or maintenance is carried out, disconnect the appliance from the mains by removing the plug or switching off your mains supply and turning off the water tap.

In cases of failure and/or faulty operation, disconnect it from the mains, turn off the water tap and do not tamper with the appliance. For repairs, contact the CDA Customer Care.

General safety

The washing machine was designed and made to international safety standards.

These warnings must be carefully read. They are provided for safety reasons.

Use of this washing machine, like any other electrical appliance, requires observing a number of basic rules. In particular:

  • the appliance must only be used by adults and as explained in this instruction booklet;
  • do not touch the appliance if you are barefoot or have wet hands or feet;
  • do not remove the plug by pulling the power lead but by pulling the plug itself;
  • do not open the detergent unit while the machine is working;
  • do not touch the discharge water, as it may be very hot;
  • if you need to open the door during a wash programme, discharge the water first (see Operation section);
  • do not force the door open under any circumstances as this may damage the safety mechanism;
  • in the event of failure, do not touch any internal mechanisms to attempt repair (see: Problems / Possible causes or Troubleshooting)
  • do not use the appliance with extension leads in bathrooms or showers;
  • do not leave the appliance exposed to open weather (rain, sunshine, etc.)
  • during normal operation, the door can get warm;
  • before putting laundry in the drum, check there are no extraneous objects in it;
  • do not put the machine on rugs or carpeting;
  • do not take out the filter while the washing machine is working.

Keep detergents in a dry place out of reach of children.

Before loading laundry into the drum, make sure there is nothing in its pockets (coins, keys, safety pins, etc.).

Optimizing the load

Washing with a full load, as opposed to two smaller loads, reduces consumption of water, detergent and energy. Up to 50% can be saved on energy in this way.

This washing machine does not require pre-washing of laundry. It was designed to wash perfectly without it.

You will find cycles shorter, you will use less detergent and you will save up to 25% compared to traditional programmes involving a pre-wash.

Is a high temperature wash needed?

To avoid washing at high temperatures, treat laundry with an anti-stain agent or soak stubborn stains beforehand. You'll save electricity in this way.

Try to use the energy-saving programme for only slightly dirty laundry, for example, washing at 60^ C instead of 90^ C and at 40^ C instead of 60^ C can save 50% energy.

Dose detergent according to water hardness, dirtiness and quantity of laundry, thus avoiding waste and protecting the environment. Although they might be bio-degradable, detergents contain elements that alter nature's equilibrium.

By using your machine at certain times of the day, eg. outside of peak-hours you will help reduce peak demand for public utilities. The Delay option helps to organise washing in these cases.

If you want to dry laundry in a drier or washer/drier, it is best to do a high-speed spin to reduce residual moisture and save time/energy in the drying programme.

How to remove stains

The most common stains are removed by simple washing. In the case of stubborn stains, leave garments to soak in soap and water beforehand. There are also liquid products to apply directly to stains to help remove them.

On old stains, try a stain-removing agent, being careful not to apply too much agent resulting in excessive lightening of the fabric surrounding the stain.

Common stains

  • ink and biro: dab with cotton wool soaked in 90° alcohol;
  • tar and lubricants: cover lightly with butter, let it work for a short while, treat with spirits of turpentine and then wash immediately;
  • wax: scrape off and heat with a hot iron between two pieces of kitchen tissue; immediately afterwards, wipe with cotton wool soaked in spirit of turpentine or ethyl alcohol;
  • chewing gum: treat with nail polish remover and then remove completely with a rag;
  • mould: white cotton and linen: put in a solution of 1 part bleach to 5 parts water and 1 part vinegar, wash immediately; other fabrics: treat with hydrogen peroxide (10% solution) and wash immediately;
  • nail polish: place the fabric stain-down on a piece of kitchen tissue, apply solvent and shift garment as the tissue colours;
  • grass: dab with ethyl alcohol.

NB:

Technical data, product code, service number (78 XXXXX XX XXXXXX) and serial number are to be found on the rating plate on the back of the machine.

The service and serial numbers can also be seen on the inside of the door.

On calling Customer Service, specify: problem, model, service number and serial number.

How much does laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400 - 500 g
1 pillow case 150 - 200 g
1 tablecloth 400 - 500 g
1 bathrobe 900 -1200 g
1 pair of jeans 400 - 500 g
1 shirt 150 - 200 g

Sorting laundry

Labels with symbols attached to garments help you take good care of your laundry. The table at the bottom of this page explains the international symbols used.

Sort laundry by: type of fabric, type of dirt and wash temperature by referring to the labels on items.

The following types of laundry must be washed separately:

  • white and colour-fast items;
  • coloured and non colour-fast items;
  • delicates (silk, rayon, nylon, etc.)
  • wool

New coloured laundry often releases colour, so it's advisable to wash separately the first time, to avoid staining other fabrics.

For very delicate fabrics, lingerie, tights, etc., it's best to use a mesh bag.

When sorting, check that pockets are empty (of coins, etc.) and that no broaches or clips are attached. Check buttons, close zips and do up pillow case buttons.

Tips for special items

Curtains: best to fold, put in a mesh bag and wash separately.

Quilts and anoraks: if they have down padding, they can be washed in the washing machine. Turn inside out and wash in a max. load of 3 - 3.5 kg. It's advisable to run one or more extra rinse cycles, followed by a slow spin.

Tennis shoes: before putting them in the drum, remove any mud. They can be washed with strong garments such as jeans but shouldn't be washed together with whites.

In short, to start a manual programme with options

1 - Load your laundry in the drum and shut the door.
2 - Switch on the washing machine by pressing On-Off button (2).
3 - Put detergent and any necessary additives in the relevant compartments.
4 - Press Mode button (6) to select the desired programme.
5 - Press Select button (7) to confirm choice.
6 - Press Mode button (6) repeatedly till you find the desired option.
7 - Press Select button (7) to confirm choice. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for all the options you want. When setting "Spin, Temperature, Delayed start and Drying time", an extra step is necessary.
8 - Press Start button (3) to start the programme.
9 - At the end of the programme, wait for the door icon to go off and then take the laundry out of the drum.
10 - Always switch the washing machine off at the end of each wash, by pressing On-Off button (2).

- Once a programme is started, you can display your settings by pressing Mode button (6).

- To modify the programme (before you've pressed Start), press the two buttons On/Off (2) and Start (3) at the same time. This will display all the programmes so you can set a new one.

- To stop a programme that's been started, press the two buttons On/Off (2) and Start (3) at the same time. The machine will do a forced discharge (2 min.) and the icon and the band under it will come on in fixed mode. After this, "0" will appear and all the programmes will be displayed for a new setting.

- Stop with water

When the Stop with water option is set, the cycle stops with water still in the drum; the relative icon flashes and an acoustic signal is emitted once a minute for 5 minutes till Mode button (6) is pressed; the Spin and Discharge icons continue to flash till one of them is confirmed with Select button (7), after which the cycle will finish as normal.

Notes on the spin function

The machine has an intelligent control device that constantly checks the spin profile. If there is a discrepancy between the intelligent profile set and the one ascertained while the machine is running, the control reacts by stopping the spin (wash phase, rinse phase, softener phase). If the spin is stopped in the rinse phase (final spin), the control system adds one or two rinse phases to make sure the desired result of the final spin is achieved. In the one or two extra rinses the programme loads a smaller quantity of water so as not to seriously affect the cycle's overall consumption.

Maintenance and cleaning

Disconnect the machine at the power outlet and close the water tap while maintenance is being carried out. The washing machine does not require any special maintenance.

Washing machine exterior

Clean the outside parts and rubber parts with a cloth soaked in warm water with liquid soap. Don't use alcohol, solvents or abrasive products (which will irreparably damage the painted and synthetic parts).

Door

At the end of each wash, leave the door open to ventilate the drum and prevent bad odour. Check there is no residual water in the rubber seal and if there is, dry with a cloth.

A

Cleaning the powder dispenser

Press lever (A) on the siphon cover by the softener symbol and slide the unit out of its housing.

Remove the siphon cover and wash it all under running water.

Put the syphon cover back on, making sure it's perfectly in place.

Now put the whole unit back into its housing.

Water supply hose

At least once a year check that the supply hose does not need replacement because of cracks or slits. High pressure during washing may cause sudden breakage of the hose. Do not use old components.

Filter removal and cleaning

Remember to clean the filter frequently to prevent blockage.

Lay out a cloth at the foot of the washing machine to take up probable spillage.

Remove the plastic skirting at the foot of the machine by pressing the two opening mechanisms and pulling outwards.

Place the skirting at the foot of machine to collect any water.

Turn the filter anticlockwise. Remove it slowly, so that the skirting fills gradually, then drain it.

Wash the filter under running water; put it back in its housing and turn clockwise until perfectly shut.

Important: if the filter isn't properly screwed in, leakage of water may occur.

NB.: before moving the appliance it is important to eliminate any residual water by following the filter cleaning instructions; this will avoid functional problems.

Problems, possible causes

In the unlikely event of a malfunction: before calling CDA Customer Care, check there are no problems you can easily solve yourself.

This list may help with solving some of the basic problems.

ProblemsTroubleshooting
The washing machine will not switch on.The plug is not or maybe not sufficiently inserted into the wall outlet in order to make good contact.There is no power in the house.Failure of fuses or automatic circuit breakers.
The wash programme will not start.The door isn't shut properly.The start button hasn't been pressed.The water is shut off or there is no water supply.You have set a delay.
The washing machine does not fill with water.The supply hose isn't connected to the tap / there is a kink in the hose.The water tap is shut.Water supply has failed or is of insufficient pressure.The start button has not been pressed.
The washing machine keeps filling and draining water.The drain hose has not been installed at between 70 and 100 cm from floor level.The end of the discharge hose is submerged under water.The discharge pipe inside the wall is not fitted with an air vent.If you cannot solve the problem after these checks, close the water tap, switch off the machine and call CDA Customer Care.If you are on the top floors of a building, there may be siphoning phenomena causing continual filling/draining. Anti-siphon devices can be purchased to solve the problem.
The washing machine does not drain or spin.The programme set does not include drain (see programme table).The Spin exclusion option is active.Presence of extraneous bodies in the filter.The discharge hose is blocked. / Check that the drainage system is not blocked.
The washing machine vibrates excessively when spinning.Check that unpacking was properly done and that the drum was un-locked on installation.The washing machine may be constrained by a wall and other units.It has not been properly levelled: re-adjust feet.
Water leaks from the washing machine.Check that the water supply hose is properly attached;that the detergent unit is not blocked andthat the drain hose is properly connected.
Excessive foam.The detergent is not suited for your washing machine (check the detergent packaging for the wording “for washing machines” or “for hand or machine washing”).Too much detergent was used.
