Frequently Asked Questions - CDIM 5215 CANDY

How to install and connect the Candy CDIM 5215 dishwasher?

Place the appliance near water and electricity connections. Connect the water inlet hose to a threaded tap (3/4 inch) and the drain hose to the outlet. Plug into a grounded 220-240 V outlet. Use the leveling feet to adjust the horizontality.

What products to use (salt, rinse aid, detergent)?

Use regenerating salt to soften water (reservoir under lower basket), rinse aid for streak-free drying (compartment on door), and powder or detergent tablets in the main compartment. Follow dosages according to water hardness.

How to start a wash cycle?

Load the dishes, add detergent, close the door, select the desired program (e.g., Eco) with the dial, then press the Start/Pause button. An indicator light shows the progress.

What to do if the appliance does not start?

Check that the door is properly closed, the water supply is open, and the program is selected. If the Start light flashes, consult the manual for the error code. A restart (unplug for 30 seconds) may resolve an electronic lock.

How to clean the filters?

Unscrew the cylindrical filter at the bottom of the tub (under the lower arm). Rinse it and the flat filter under running water. Reassemble correctly. Clean the filters once a month to prevent blockages.

Dishes remain wet at end of cycle: what to do?

Activate the Extra drying option if available. Check that rinse aid is sufficient and the dose is correct. Use detergent with drying agent. Leave the door ajar for a few minutes after the cycle.

How to descale the appliance?

Use a specific dishwasher descaling product (liquid or powder) by running an empty cycle at high temperature (70°C). Perform this every 3 to 6 months depending on water hardness.

What error codes can appear?

Common codes: E01 (water inlet problem), E02 (drain blocked), E04 (overheat), E08 (motor fault). Refer to the full manual for exact meaning and corrective actions.

How to maintain the wash arms?

Unclip the upper and lower arms by turning the central nut. Rinse the holes under running water, use a toothpick to unclog holes. Reassemble by clipping in place. Do this every 2-3 months.

Can I use all-in-one tablets?

Yes, 3-in-1 or 5-in-1 tablets are suitable. In this case, reduce the dosage of salt and rinse aid or set the appliance to 'Multitabs' mode (if available) to avoid excessive foam.

PROGRAMME SELECTION AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

(Use in conjunction with programme guide)

"DEGREE OF SOILING" buttons

+ U·WASH -

These buttons allow you to modify the wash intensity according to how dirty the dishes are. The wash time and temperature will be adjusted accordingly.

Pressing the + button increases the wash intensity, while pressing the - button reduces the wash intensity and significantly shortens the wash time.

Combining these buttons with the 4 main wash programmes gives you 8 additional wash cycles.

IMPORTANT

When the dishwasher is switched on, the last used "DEGREE OF SOILING" setting will be displayed.

Programme settings

■ Open the door and place the dirty dishes inside the appliance. ■ Press the "ON/OFF" button ⏻. The display will show two lines. ■ Choose a programme by pressing the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button ("PROGR."). ■ If you wish to choose the "DEGREE OF SOILING", press the corresponding button. ■ If you wish to select an option, press the option button (the corresponding indicator light will light up).

The option button can be selected or deselected within one minute of the programme commencing.

■ Press the "START" button.

The length of the programme will be shown on the display, alternating between hours and minutes [e.g., 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].

■ Close the door (after an audible signal has sounded, the programme will start automatically).

Within one minute of the programme commencing, another programme can be selected by pressing the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button (it is also possible to change the "DEGREE OF SOILING" setting).

"AUTOMATIC" programmes

The dishwasher is equipped with a dirt sensor that can analyse water murkiness during all "AUTOMATIC" programme phases (see programme list). Thanks to this sensor, the washing cycle parameters are automatically adapted to the real quantity of dirt on the dishes. This guarantees excellent washing results while optimising water and energy consumption.

"IMPULSE" programmes

The "IMPULSE" programmes use an impulse washing technology that reduces consumption and noise while increasing performance.

IMPORTANT

The intermittent operation of the washing pump must not be considered a malfunction; it is a characteristic of the impulse washing and should be considered a normal function of the programme.

Programme interruption

Opening the door when a programme is running is not recommended, especially during the main wash and final hot rinse phases. However, if the door is opened while a programme is running (for example, to add dishes), the machine stops automatically and the display will flash the remaining time before the end of the cycle. Close the door without pressing any buttons. The cycle will resume from where it left off.

WARNING!

If you open the door during the drying cycle, an audible signal will advise you that the drying cycle has not yet finished.

Changing a running programme

Proceed as follows to change or cancel a running programme:

■ Open the door. ■ Hold the "RESET" button down for at least 5 seconds. "00" will appear on the display and some audible signals will sound. ■ The running programme will be cancelled. The display will show two lines. ■ At this point a new programme can be set.

WARNING!

Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser. If necessary, top up the dispenser.

If there is any break in the power supply while the dishwasher is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.

Programme end

A 5 second alarm will sound (if not muted) 3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that the programme has ended.

Dishes can now be removed and the dishwasher turned off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded for a new cycle.

Option buttons

This option optimises the use of "ALL in 1" ("3 in 1"/ "4 in 1"/"5 in 1", etc...) combined detergents. By pressing this button, the selected washing programme is modified to get the best performance from combined detergents; furthermore, the salt and rinse aid shortage lights are de-activated.

WARNING!

Once selected, this option keeps being on (light on) also for next washing cycles and it can be de-activate (light off) only by pressing the button once again.

IMPORTANT

When this option is selected, the "RAPID" cycle is 10 minutes longer.

"DELAY START" button

1-23h

Dishwasher start time can be set with this button, delaying start from 1 to 23 hours.

Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:

■ Press the "DELAY START" button ("00" will appear on the display). ■ Press the button again to increase the delay in hours (each time the button is pressed the delay is increased by 1 hour to a maximum of 23). The "DELAY START" indicator light will turn on. ■ To start the countdown press the "START" button (the "DELAY START" indicator light will start to flash). At the end of the countdown, the programme will automatically start (the "DELAY START" indicator light will turn off).

If you wish to see which programme has been selected, press the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button.

Proceed as follows to cancel a delayed start:

■ Hold the "RESET" button down for at least 5 seconds. "00" will appear on the display and some audible signals will sound. ■ The delayed start and the selected programme will be cancelled. The display will show two lines. ■ At this point, a new programme and option buttons must be set to start a new programme as indicated in the "PROGRAMME SETTINGS" section.

THE WATERBLOCK SYSTEM

The waterblock system has been designed to improve the safety of your appliance, particularly when the machine is left unattended.

The waterblock system actually prevents flooding which might be caused by a machine malfunction or as a result of a fracture on the pipes.

How does waterblock work

The sump located in the base of the appliance collects any possible water leakage and operates a sensor which subsequently activates a valve placed under the water tap and stops any water from the supply even with the tap fully opened. If the box containing the electrical parts is damaged, remove the plug from the socket immediately.

To ensure perfect operation of the safety system, box “A” with the hose, should be connected to the tap as shown in figure “1”. The inlet hose should not be cut, as it contains parts under load. If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longer one. The hose can be obtained from your Service Agent.

This dishwasher is also equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which, if water exceeds normal levels due to malfunctions, automatically blocks water flow and/or drains excess quantities.

Fig. 1

WATER SOFTENER UNIT

Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.

Regulating the water softener

The water softener can treat water with a hardness level of up to 90° fH (French grading) or 50° dH (German grading) through 8 settings.

The settings are listed in the table below:

Level	Water hardness		Use of regenerating salt	Water softener setting
	°FH (French)	°dH (German)
0	0-5	0-3	NO	d0
1	6-10	4-6	YES	d1
2	11-20	7-11	YES	d2
3	21-30	12-16	YES	d3
*4	31-40	17-22	YES	d4
5	41-50	23-27	YES	d5
6	51-60	28-33	YES	d6
7	61-90	34-50	YES	d7

* The softener unit is set in the factory at level 4 (d4) as this satisfies the requirements of the majority of users.

Regulate the setting of your water softener unit according to the degree of hardness of your water as follows:

IMPORTANT

The dishwasher must ALWAYS be off before start of this procedure.

1. Hold down the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button and at the same time switch on the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief audible signal will sound).
2. Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button pressed for at least 5 seconds, UNTIL a brief audible signal sounds. The current water softener setting level will be shown on the display.
3. Press the same button again to select the required water softener level: each time the button is pressed, the setting will increase by one level. When you have reached "d7", the display will go back to "d0".
4. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button to confirm the new setting.

WARNING!

If any problem occurs, turn the dishwasher off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button and start the procedure again from the beginning (STEP 1).

Congratulations,
