Frequently Asked Questions - WF140 CDA

How do I install the CDA WF140 dishwasher?
Ensure the appliance is level and connected to cold water supply with a pressure between 0.04 and 1.0 MPa. The drain hose must be securely fixed to a standpipe or sink outlet. Electrical connection requires a grounded outlet meeting 220-240 V specifications.
What detergent should I use for best results?
Use a phosphate-free dishwasher detergent and rinse aid for optimal drying. For hard water, add regenerating salt to the dedicated compartment. Pre-measured tablets are convenient but may require adjusting settings.
Why does my dishwasher leave water spots on dishes?
Water spots are usually caused by hard water or insufficient rinse aid. Check the rinse aid dispenser and refill if needed. Adjust the water hardness setting according to local water hardness. Also ensure the final rinse temperature is adequate.
How do I clean the filter system?
Turn off the dishwasher and remove the lower spray arm. Twist and lift the coarse filter and microfilter. Rinse them under running water with a soft brush. Reassemble in reverse order. Clean the filter at least once a month to maintain performance.
The dishwasher won't start. What should I check?
First, ensure the door is properly closed and locked. Check the power supply and circuit breaker. Verify that the water supply tap is open. Also make sure the program cycle is selected and the start button is pressed.
How can I reduce energy consumption?
Use the Eco program for normally soiled dishes. Run the dishwasher only when fully loaded and select air drying instead of heated drying. Regularly clean the filter and spray arms to maintain efficiency.
Is the CDA WF140 compatible with salt tablets?
Yes, the dishwasher has a water softener system that requires regenerating salt. Refill the salt container when the salt indicator light turns on. Use coarse grain salt designed for dishwashers to avoid clogging.
What does the error code 'E1' mean?
Error code E1 indicates a water inlet problem. Check that the water tap is fully open and the inlet hose is not kinked. Also inspect the water pressure. If the error persists, contact customer support.
How do I reset the dishwasher?
Turn off the dishwasher and unplug it for 1 minute. Plug back in and select a new program. If the issue persists, press and hold the Start/Pause button for 3 seconds to cancel any ongoing cycle.

Detergent

To fill the detergent compartment

  1. Push the latch to open the compartment.

  2. Add the required amount of detergent. The main detergent compartment (b in figure 1) has lines to allow for specific amounts of detergent.

These are marked at either 15 cm ^3 or 25 cm ^3 , depending on how dirty the dishes are.

If your dishes are in need of an intensive wash, then add 5 cm ^3 of detergent into the prewash section of the compartment (a in figure 1).

  1. Then close the detergent compartment lid until the latch locks.

Please note: You should only use detergents designed specifically for use in dishwashers.

If using dishwasher tablets, always use the detergent compartment, do not put them in the main body of the dishwasher or in the cutlery basket. The solubility of dishwasher tablets can vary depending on the temperature and duration of the programme. As a result, it is recommended that powder detergents should be used in the shorter programmes to allow better performance.

CDA recommends the use of separate detergent, rinse aid and dishwasher salt rather than combination tablets as separates achieve better wash performance.

If you do use combination detergents, add salt and rinse aid to the dishwasher and then adjust the water hardness setting and rinse aid setting to the minimum. When you then use separate detergents again, you should fill the salt and rinse aid compartments, adjust the water hardness setting to the maximum and run an empty wash, then adjust the water hardness setting and the rinse aid setting to the appropriate level.

Salt

To ensure the best efficiency, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard water means that lime residues remain on the dishes and the interior of the dishwasher, affecting performance. The softener system is designed to remove the ions that make the water hard to provide the best quality wash performance. This is achieved by using dishwasher salt.

To add dishwasher salt, follow the steps below:

  1. Remove the lower dishwasher basket and then unscrew the salt compartment cap, as shown in figure 2.
  2. Fill the compartment with dishwasher salt (do not use table salt), carefully to prevent unnecessary spillage. Before first use, you should fill the compartment with 2kg of dishwasher salt and then fill up the salt compartment with water (up to the brim of the compartment) as shown in figure 3.
  3. Replace the cap and the lower basket.

When the salt warning light on the control panel illuminates, you should refill the salt compartment with salt only – do not add water to the salt compartment after the first use.

You should run a programme immediately after adding dishwasher salt, to prevent any damage to the dishwasher systems.

Softener adjustment

The efficiency of your dishwasher depends on the softness of the tap water. To ensure best efficiency, the dishwasher is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. The efficiency will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out the water hardness level of your water supply you can use the test strip supplied or alternatively contact your local water board.

Rinse Aid Adjustment

The level of rinse aid use is preset to 3. You can adjust the level of rinse aid use by adjusting as shown in figure 6.

If water stains form on the dishes after a wash, the level should be increased. If blue stains which can be wiped away are left on the dishes after a wah, the level should be decreased.

Please note: Rinse aid ensures better quality wash results and increased drying performance.

Always refill the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel is illuminated.

  • Ensure the appliance is level by adjusting the feet as necessary.
    • Only use the water inlet supplied with the appliance.
    • If the water pressure is above 10 bar, a pressure relief valve should be used.
