Frequently Asked Questions - CTTD8BK Cookology

How do I add dishwasher salt?

Remove the lower basket, unscrew the salt reservoir cap, place the funnel (supplied) and pour in about 1 kg of dishwasher-specific salt. Before the first wash, fill the container with water to its maximum. Immediately run a short program to avoid damage.

How do I clean the filters?

Rotate the coarse filter counterclockwise to unlock and lift it out. Separate the fine filter from the main filter. Rinse both under running water and use a soft brush for stubborn debris. Reassemble in reverse order and rotate clockwise to lock. Never run the dishwasher without filters.

What should I do if the dishwasher doesn't start?

Check if the power cord is plugged in, the door is closed securely, and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the water supply is turned on. If the problem persists, refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual.

What do error codes E1, E3, E4, and Ed mean?

E1 indicates longer inlet time (check faucet, water pressure). E3 means not reaching required temperature (heating element issue). E4 signals overflow (possible leak). Ed is communication failure between PCBs. For overflow, turn off water supply before calling service.

How do I adjust the rinse aid setting?

Open the rinse aid reservoir cap and locate the adjust lever (settings 1-6). The factory setting is 4. If dishes have spots or drying issues, increase the number. If sticky white stains appear, decrease it.

Can I use regular dish soap or laundry detergent?

No. Only use automatic dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, or tablets). Regular soap or laundry detergent will cause excessive suds and damage the appliance.

How should I load the baskets for best cleaning?

Place large items like pots and pans in the lower basket with soiled surfaces facing down. In the upper basket, place glasses, cups, and saucers. Ensure sharp knives point down or are horizontal. Do not overload; allow spray arms to rotate freely.

Why are my dishes not drying properly?

Ensure you are using rinse aid and check the rinse aid setting (increase if needed). Use a program with drying phase (e.g., ECO). Open the door slightly after cycle to release steam and unload when dishes are barely warm.

How do I install the dishwasher?

Connect cold water supply to a 3/4 inch threaded valve using the safety supply hose. Attach drain hose to a drain pipe with min 4 cm diameter (height < 750 mm). Plug into a grounded socket. For built-in, ensure proper space (min 50 mm door clearance).

How do I maintain the dishwasher to avoid odors?

After each wash, leave the door slightly open. Clean the door seals and control panel with a soft damp cloth. Run a Self-cleaning program periodically. If not using for a long time, empty the dishwasher, unplug, turn off water, and leave door ajar.

Cutlery rack

NOTE:

Pictures are only for reference, different models may be different. Please prevail in kind.

USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Before using your dishwasher :

1. Set the water softener
2. Loading the Salt Into the Softener
3. Loading the basket
4. Fill the dispenser

Please check the section 1 "Water Softener" of PART II: Special Version, if you need to set the water softener.

Loading The Salt Into The Softener

NOTE:

If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.

Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.

The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in the following:

WARNING

• Only use salt specifically designed for dishwasher use! Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt, the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused. Only fill with salt before running a cycle.

This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:

1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1kg of dishwasher salt.
3. Before first wash, fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
5. The salt warning light will stop being on after the salt container has been filled with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (we suggest using a short program). Otherwise, the filter system, pump, or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.

NOTE:

- The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light (≈) in the control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.

If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can estimate when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.

• If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

External Care

The door and the door seal

Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits. When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the door is closed.

The control panel

If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth ONLY.

WARNING

• To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

Internal Care

Filtering system

The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary under running water. Follow the steps below to clean the filters in the wash cabinet.

NOTE:

Pictures are only for reference; different models of the filtering system and spray arms may differ. Please refer to the actual product.

1. Hold the coarse filter and rotate it anticlockwise to unlock the filter. Lift the filter upwards and out of the dishwasher.

2. Lift the fine filter up from the main filter.

3. Larger food remnants can be cleaned by rinsing the filter under running water. For a more thorough clean, use a soft cleaning brush.

4. Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of disassembly. Replace the filter insert and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.

WARNING

• Do not over-tighten the filters. Put the filters back in sequence securely; otherwise, coarse debris could get into the system and cause a blockage.
• NEVER use the dishwasher without filters in place. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Spray arms

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

To clean the spray arms, follow the instructions below:

1. To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut in the center still and rotate the spray arm counterclockwise to remove it.

2 To remove the lower spray arm, pull the spray arm upward.

3 Wash the arms in soapy, warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Rinse them thoroughly before replacing them.

Caring for the Dishwasher

Frost precaution

Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. After every washing cycle, please operate as follows:

1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

After every wash

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

Remove the plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.

No solvents or abrasive cleaning

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.

To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When not in use for a long time

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 open. This will help the door seals to 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher.

Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.

Attention

The installation of the pipes and electrical equipment should be done by professionals.

• About Power Connection

WARNING

For personal safety:

• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the earthing connection from the power cord.

Electrical requirements

Please look at the rating label to know the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply. Use the required fuse 10A/13A/16A, time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended and provide separate circuit serving only this appliance.

Electrical connection

Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being corresponds to those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the socket, rather than using a adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

⚠ Ensure that proper earthing exists before use

Water Supply And Drain

Cold water connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4(inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place.

If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear. This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance.

ordinary supply hose

safety supply hose

About the safety supply hose

The safety supply hose consists of double walls. The hose's system guarantees its intervention by blocking the flow of water in case of the supply hose breaking and when the air space between the supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is full of water.

WARNING

A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.

How to connect the safety supply hose

1. Pull the safety supply hoses completely out from the storage compartment located at the rear of the dishwasher.
2. Tighten the screws of the safety supply hose to the faucet with a 3/4 inch thread.
3. Turn the water fully on before starting the dishwasher.

How to disconnect the safety supply hose

1. Turn off the water.
2. Unscrew the safety supply hose from the faucet.

Connection of Drain Hoses

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The height of the drain pipe must be less than 750 mm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid backflow.

Please securely fix the drain hose in either position A or position B.

How to drain excess water from hoses

If the sink is 1000 mm higher from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

Water outlet

Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water drain hose is not kinked or squashed.

Extension hose

If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose.

It must be no longer than 4 meters; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

Syphon connection

The waste connection must be at a height less than 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dish. The water drain hose should be fixed.

Position the Appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.

Built-In Installation (for the integrated model)

Step 1. Selecting the best location for the dishwasher

The installation position of dishwasher should be near the existing inlet and drain hoses and power cord.

Illustrations of cabinet dimensions and installation position of the dishwasher.

1. Less than 5 mm between the top of dishwasher and cabinet and the outer door aligned to cabinet.

1. If dishwasher is installed at the corner of the cabinet, there should be some space when the door is opened.

Step 2. Install the dishwasher in cabinet

Preparing and Loading Dishes

• Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
• For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible temperature.
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.

For washing the following cutlery/dishes:

Are not suitable:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china, or mother-of-pearl handles • Plastic items that are not heat resistant • Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant • Bonded cutlery items or dishes • Pewter or copper items • Crystal glass • Steel items subject to rusting • Wooden platters • Items made from synthetic fibres

Are of limited suitability:

• Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes • Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolour during washing • Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher

Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.

(Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)

Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

• Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
• Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
• All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
• All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. • To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.
• The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
• Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
• Long and / or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
• Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.

NOTE:

Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.

WARNING

Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.

Loading the upper basket

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.

Loading the lower basket

We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.

The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is 19 cm, so as not to hamper the opening of it.

Loading the cutlery rack

Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separately from each other in the appropriate positions, and make sure the utensils do not nest together, as this may cause bad performance.

WARNING

Do not let any item extend through the bottom.

Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!

For the best washing effect, please load the baskets according to the standard loading options in the last section of PART I: Generic Version.

Function Of The Rinse Aid And Detergent

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.

WARNING

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

When to refill the rinse aid dispenser

Unless the rinse-aid warning light (✿) on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the amount from the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse-aid diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than 1/4 full.

Optical level indicator

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

Full

3/4 full 1/2 full 1/4 full

Function of detergent

The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

WARNING

• Proper Use of Detergent Use only detergent specifically made for dishwashers use. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Filling The Rinse Aid Reservoir

1 Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it counterclockwise.

2 Carefully pour in the rinse-aid into its dispenser, whilst avoiding it to overflow.

3 Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it clockwise.

NOTE:

Clean up any spilled rinse aid with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the rinse aid reservoir

The rinse aid reservoir has six settings. Both the recommended setting and the factory setting is "4". If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Filling The Detergent Dispenser

1 Press the release catch on the detergent dispenser to open the cover.

2 Add detergent into the larger cavity (A) for the main wash cycle. For more heavily soiled wash loads, also add some detergent into the smaller cavity (B) for the pre-wash cycle.

3 Close the cover and press on it until it locks into place.

NOTE:

• Be aware that depending on the soiling of water, setting may be different.
• Please observe the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.
