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

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
| Problems | Troubleshooting |
| 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. |
ANOMALIES
When you observe an anomaly, the cause may be signalled on the control panel by one or two flashing leds.
| Problem Possible causes and symptoms Checks / Action Signal | |||
| E01 | Irregular heating | If code E01 flashes at the end of the programme, there is a fault with the heating function. Possible causes: faulty heating coil or extreme working conditions (water and/or room too cold). NB.: the wash programme finishes as normal. | Check the next hot wash programme; if the problem persists, call CDA Customer Care. |
| E02 | Irregular operation of motor | If code E02 flashes during the set programme and the washing machine has a full load, there is probably too much laundry. NB.: the wash programme finishes early after a drain phase. | Switch the machine off with the on-off button, reduce the load of laundry and set the wash programme again. If the problem persists, call CDA Customer Care. |
| If code E02 flashes during the set programme, there is a motor or motor control circuit fault. NB.: the wash programme finishes early after a drain phase. | Call CDA Customer Care. | ||
| E03 | Irregular operation during water supply | If code E03 flashes during the set programme, the water supply is faulty. Possible causes: Tap closed or not fully open, one of the valves has failed, the hose is kinked. NB.: the wash programme finishes early after a drain phase. | Check the tap and water feed hose. Switch the machine off with the on-off button and set the wash programme again. If better results aren't obtained after these checks, call CDA Customer Care. |
| E04 | Irregular operation during water draining | If code E04 flashes during the set programme, there are problems in the drain phase. Possible causes: blocked filter, kinks and/or blockages in the drain hoses, or other factors preventing regular draining of water. NB.: the wash programme finishes early after a drain phase. | Check the filter and look for obstructions to water drain from the washing machine. Switch the machine off with the on-off button and set the wash programme again. If better results aren't obtained after these checks, call CDA Customer Care. |
