Frequently Asked Questions - CDP 6950-86 CANDY

How do I install the dishwasher?

Ensure the appliance is level and connected to water supply and drainage. Follow the installation instructions in the manual. Use the supplied inlet hose and secure it properly.

How do I clean the filters?

Remove the lower basket, unscrew the filter assembly, rinse under running water, and refit. Clean the fine filter monthly for optimal performance.

What does error code E1 mean?

Error code E1 indicates a water inlet problem. Check the water tap is open, hose not kinked, and filter not clogged. If persists, contact service.

Can I use regular dish soap?

No, only use dishwasher detergent (powder, gel or tablets). Regular soap causes excess suds and may damage the machine.

How can I improve drying results?

Use rinse aid and select a program with drying phase. Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and adjust setting to a higher level.

Why is the dishwasher not draining?

Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the filter and check the pump for debris. If still not draining, call service.

What is the energy consumption per cycle?

The average energy consumption is 0.95 kWh per cycle on the Eco program. Actual consumption varies by program and usage.

How do I load the dishwasher efficiently?

Place larger items on the lower rack, cutlery in the basket, and delicate glassware on the upper rack. Do not overload to ensure water circulation.

Can I delay the start of a cycle?

Yes, press the Delay Start button to set a delay up to 24 hours. The dishwasher will start automatically after the set time.

How do I reset the dishwasher?

Turn off the appliance, wait 10 seconds, then turn it on again. If the error persists, consult the manual for troubleshooting steps.

PROGRAMME SELECTION AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

(Use in conjunction with programme guide)

"U •WASH" button

U·wash

This button allows you to modify the wash intensity, according to how dirty your dishes are, by modifying the wash time and temperature.

Press the button to increase the intensity of wash cycle (⊕ indicator light) or to reduce the intensity of wash, this also allows you to decrease the wash length time (■ indicator light).

The combination of the button with the 4 main wash programmes enables to have 8 additional wash cycles (achieving a total of 12 programmes of washing).

IMPORTANT

When the dishwasher is switched on, the setting last used will be indicated.

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. ■ If you wish, press the "U·WASH" button. ■ If you wish to select an option, press the corresponding button (the indicator light will turn on).

The option buttons can be selected or deselected WITHIN one minute of the programme commencing.

■ Press the "START" button. The length of the program will be shown on the display alternating hours with minutes [e.g: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].

■ When the door is shut, after an audible signal has sounded, the programme will start automatically. The display will show the time remaining to the end of the cycle.

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

"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 and 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.

IMPORTANT

A running programme can be interrupted without opening the door by pressing the "ON/OFF" button. In this case, simply press the "ON/OFF" button again to restart the cycle 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:

■ 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.

Programme operations

Whilst a programme is running, the display shows the time remaining to the end of the cycle, which is automatically updated.

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.

The display and all the indicator lights will switch off.

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

Option buttons

"SUPER ECO" button

This button provides an energy and time saving of 25% on average (according to the select cycle) reducing the wash water temperature and the drying time during the final rinse.

This programme is recommended for light soil washes, and for slightly wet dishes that are not fully dry, & improved drying results. We advise you to leave the door of the Dishwasher half-open at the end of the cycle, to allow for a natural circulation of air inside the dishwasher.

"ALL in 1" button

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 remains active (light on) for subsequent washing cycles and can only be deactivated (light off) by pressing the button again.

IMPORTANT

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

"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.

The display will show the time remaining until the programme begins.

At the end of the countdown, the programme will start automatically, and the length of the selected cycle will be shown on the display.

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 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.

Alarm mute for the PROGRAMME END

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

IMPORTANT

The dishwasher must ALWAYS be off before starting 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).

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:

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 be ALWAYS off before start 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 an 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).
