Frequently Asked Questions - CDI 5015 S CANDY

How to install the Candy CDI 5015 S dishwasher?

Make sure the appliance is level and stable. Connect the water inlet hose to the cold water tap (preferably with a 3/4 inch thread). Connect the drain hose to the sink siphon. Plug the appliance into a grounded electrical outlet. Refer to the provided installation manual for more details.

What wash programs are available?

The Candy CDI 5015 S offers 6 programs: Eco (energy saving), Quick (30 min), Intensive (very dirty dishes), Delicate (glasses), Pre-wash (rinse only) and Auto (load detection).

How to clean the dishwasher filters?

Remove the lower basket, then turn the main filter counterclockwise to unlock it. Rinse the filters under running water, using a brush if necessary. Replace the filters and lock them securely. Perform this operation at least once a month.

What to do if the dishwasher does not start?

Check that the appliance is properly plugged in and the door is closed securely (clicks). Make sure the water tap is open. If the problem persists, press the On/Off button for 3 seconds to reset. Consult the manual for the error code.

Can we use tablets or powder?

Yes, both are compatible. Place the tablet in the designated compartment (or powder in the main compartment). Use a rinse aid to improve drying. Follow the dosages indicated on the packaging.

How to reduce the noise of the dishwasher?

Make sure the appliance is level (adjustable feet). Do not run it empty for long periods. Use the Eco program which is quieter. Avoid placing dishes that rattle (secure plates between the prongs).

What is the water consumption per cycle?

On average, the Candy CDI 5015 S consumes 9.5 liters per cycle on the Eco program. This varies depending on the selected program and load.

How to activate delayed start?

Select a program, then press the Delayed Start button repeatedly to choose the delay (1h, 3h, 6h, 9h). Close the door, the appliance will start automatically after the chosen delay. An indicator light blinks to confirm.

What to do in case of water leak?

Immediately close the water inlet tap and unplug the appliance. Check the hose connections (inlet and drain). If the hose is damaged, replace it with a new one (identical model). For internal leaks, contact Candy after-sales service.

How to maintain the door seal?

Clean the door seal regularly with a damp cloth to remove food residues. Check that it is not torn or deformed. If the seal is damaged, it must be replaced to avoid leaks. Use a compatible seal for Candy CDI 5015 S.

PROGRAMME SELECTION AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

(Use in conjunction with programme guide)

IMPORTANT

The dishwasher has two very practical functions:

- the "recommended" programme (which is ideal for full load daily use) for quick and accurate selection;

- the "Auto' Memory" function saves any programme used at least 3 times consecutively, so that if you regularly use the same washing cycle you do not have to continually set the programme, thereby saving time and effort.

Program settings

■ Open the door and place dirty dishes inside the appliance. ■ Press the "ON/OFF" button ① ■ After pressing the "ON/OFF" button, the symbol of the programme which is factory set at "recommended" or the symbol for the "Auto' Memory" programme will appear on the display. ■ To select an option, press the corresponding button (the indicator light will turn on). Option buttons must be pressed BEFORE starting the programme for them to be accepted. ■ To set another programme, press the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button ("PR."). ■ When the required programme is shown in the display, press the "START" button. The length of the program will be shown on the display alternating hours with minutes [i.e.: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)]. ■ Close the door (after an audible signal has sounded, the programme will start automatically).

"AUTOMATIC" programmes

AUTO sensor system

The dishwasher is equipped with a dirt sensor, able to 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 dishes. Thus excellent washing results are guaranteed while optimising water and energy consumption.

"IMPULSE" programmes

The "IMPULSE" programmes use an impulse washing technology, which reduces consumption, noise and increases performances.

IMPORTANT

The "intermittent" working of the washing pump MUST NOT BE considered a malfunction, it is a characteristic of the impulse washing so must 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 start from where it left off.

WARNING!

If you open the door during the drying cycle, an audible audio signal advises 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 "START" button down for at least 5 seconds (the running programme will be cancelled).

■ At this point a new program 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 buzzer 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

IMPORTANT

All options MUST be turned on or off, BEFORE pressing the "START" button.

"3 in 1" button

This option optimises the use of "3 in 1" 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-activated (light off) only by pressing the button once again.

IMPORTANT

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

"HPS" button

The "HPS" option always guarantees the best results by more effectively dealing with heavier soiling. By using this option, the strength of the selected cycle will be increased, adding one rinse and increasing the temperature and water pressure in the washing phase where foreseen.

This option is recommended for very dirty dishes or when dirty dishes may not have been pre-treated allowing the soiling to dry up.

IMPORTANT

With this option selected the "IMPULSE" wash is turned off.

"1/2" AUTO button

In response to your everyday washing requirement in addition to the normal wash functions this dishwasher is equipped with the "1/2 AUTO" function. This function enables the uses to wash a reduced number of dishes yet retaining the freedom of loading them both on the top and bottom basket.

When this function is activated, the dishwasher will automatically reduce water and energy consumption and wash time. When selecting the "1/2 AUTO" option, ensure a reduced amount of detergent is used.

"DELAY START" button

The dishwasher start time can be set with this button, delaying the 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 press increases the delay by 1 hour, up to a maximum of 23). ■ To start the countdown, press the "START" button. At the end of the countdown, the programme will start automatically.

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 "START" button down for at least 5 seconds. ■ At this point, a new programme and option buttons must be set to start a new programme as indicated in the "PROGRAMME SETTINGS" section.

Alarm mute for the PROGRAMME END

The alarm for the programme end may be muted as follows:

■ With the dishwasher off, hold down the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button for a few seconds while simultaneously pressing the "ON/OFF" button. ■ "b1" will appear on the display to indicate that the alarm is on. ■ Press the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button again; "b0" will appear on the display to indicate that the alarm is off. ■ Wait for the alarm to sound to indicate that the settings were saved. ■ To turn the alarm on again, follow the same procedure ("b1" will appear on the display to indicate that the buzzer is on).

WARNING!

To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, we recommend that the dishwasher is not moved or tilted during operation. If it is necessary to tilt or move the dishwasher, please ensure that the washing cycle is complete and that there is no remaining water inside the dishwasher.

The dishwasher is able to signal a series of faults on the display.

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 with electronic programmer

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.

* 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:

1. Keep the "DELAY START" button pressed in and at the same time press the "ON/OFF" button ⓘ.

The factory setting "d4" will appear on the display.

1. To change the setting, press the "DELAY START" button. Each time you press that button the setting will increase by one level.

When you have reached "d7", the display will go back to "d1".

1. When the required setting appears on the display, wait for an audible signal to confirm that the new setting has been stored in memory.
