At end of washing, the timedisplay will flash for 8 seconds while the buzzer sound. But at the end of delayed washing, no sound of the buzzer, only the flash ofthe time display.

NOTE: If your model have not water softener, you may skip this section.

WATER SOFTENER

There are two ways to reduce the water hardness: one way is using water softener, the other is using detergent.

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.

The appliances is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Loading the Salt into the Softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.

The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:

CANDY CDCP 8/E,  CDCP 8/E-S - Loading the Salt into the Softener - 1

1 Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
2 If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 1 litre of water.
3 Place the end of the funnel(supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container
4 Carefully screw the cap back on.

NOTE:

  1. The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light comes on. Though the salt container is filled enough, the indicator light may not black out before the salt fully dissolve.
  2. If there are spills of the salt, a rapid program could be run to wipe them out.

YOU MAY NOT ADD TOO MUCH DETERGENT TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BECAUSE YOUR DISHWASHERS HAVE SPECIALLY-DESIGNED WATER SOFTENERS.

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the"Wash Cycle Table". Your dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use

IF THE WATER ISN'T太o HARD,YOU MAY ALSO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BY ADDING DETERGENT.

The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need.

Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the correct amount.

CANDY CDCP 8/E,  CDCP 8/E-S - Amount of Detergent to Use - 1

WARNING!

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

RINSE AID DISPENSER

CANDY CDCP 8/E,  CDCP 8/E-S - RINSE AID DISPENSER - 1

To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.
Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

Removing Hard Water Spots

To remove hard water spots, try the following:

Run dishes through a normal wash program.
Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc., from the dishwasher.
Do not add detergent.
Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face up on the lower rack of the dishwasher.
Run the dishes through a normal wash program.

If this doesn't work, try the same process with 1/4 cup of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until You're ready to wash dishes.

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to "sheet" off the dishes.

Your dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The dispenser holds about 100ml of liquid rinse aid.

Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause oversudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door.

If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid for it may cause a white film to develop on your dishes.

CANDY CDCP 8/E,  CDCP 8/E-S - Proper Use of Detergent - 1

A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with detergent, the amount of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse aid can result in lather of foaming and cause cloudiness or steaks on your dishes. If the water in your area is very soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water.

The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "1". If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "2". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. We suggest you to set on "4".

If only four settings we suggest you to set on "2".

In accordance with En50242 standard, the dispenser should be set on the maximum lever when doing the performance.

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

If there is no rinse aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by the following means. The black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicates the amount of rinse aid in the dispenser. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.

CANDY CDCP 8/E,  CDCP 8/E-S - When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser - 1

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

Cancelling or modifying a wash setting. . .

Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has been running for a short time.

Filtering System

The filter prevent larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. This residue can occasionally clog up the filters.

The filter system consists of a filter cylinder(Coarse filter), A flat (Main filter) and a microfilter(fine filter).

CANDY CDCP 8/E,  CDCP 8/E-S - Filtering System - 1

Main filter

Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain.

Coarse filter 2

Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the taps on the top of this filter and lift it out.

Fine filter 3

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposit on the dishes during a cycle.

Caring for the Dishwasher

To clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the dishwasher outside, do not use solvents (degreasing action) neither abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with water.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Protect Against Freezing

CANDY CDCP 8/E,  CDCP 8/E-S - Protect Against Freezing - 1

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

4 Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

2 Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.

5 Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub the bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in rubber boot.

3 Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings.

Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

Cleaning the Filters

CANDY CDCP 8/E,  CDCP 8/E-S - Cleaning the Filters - 1

Filter assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned at least once a month.

To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures left and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.

The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

WARNING!

Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

CANDY CDCP 8/E,  CDCP 8/E-S - WARNING! - 1

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

WARNING!

Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After Every Wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

Remove the Plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When You Go on Holiday

When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

Moving the Appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
