Frequently Asked Questions - CI392 CDA

How do I install the CDA CI392 washing machine?

Ensure the machine is on a level floor, connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap (3/4 inch thread), insert the drain hose into a standpipe or sink, and plug into a grounded outlet. Level the feet before first use.

What does error code E10 mean?

Error E10 indicates a water supply issue. Check that the tap is fully open, the inlet hose is not kinked, and the filter in the inlet valve is clean. Restart the machine.

How do I clean the drain pump filter?

Unplug the machine, open the lower front flap, place a towel underneath, and unscrew the pump cover. Remove any debris, clean the filter, and screw back. Ensure it's tight to avoid leaks.

Why is my washing machine not spinning?

Check if the spin speed is set to zero (e.g., Rinse Hold), if the load is too heavy or unbalanced, or if the drain pump filter is clogged. Also ensure the machine is on a solid floor.

Can I use a delay start for all programs?

Delay start is available for most programs except Quick 15 and Drum Clean. Set the desired delay up to 24 hours using the timer button.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the Child Lock button (often marked with a padlock icon) for 3 seconds until the indicator lights up. Repeat to deactivate.

What detergent should I use?

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

This washing machine does not require any particular maintenance. At the end of each wash it is recommended to leave the door open so that air will circulate and dry the interior of the machine. The external part of the machine should never be cleaned with abrasive detergents since this would ruin the enamel coating as well as the synthetic parts.

Water connection

Loading: Connect the water supply hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" (gas type) fitting, insert the rubber washer supplied with the machine and fully tighten the ring nut. If the water tap is new or has not been used for a long time it is recommended to let the water run for a while before completing the connection. Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the machine and again insert the rubber washer between the hose and the solenoid valve fitting.

Drain: Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe (with a minimum internal diameter of 4 cm.) or hook it on a sink or bathtub, without crimping or creating any sharp curves. The hose should be positioned at a height ranging from a minimum of 70 cm. to a maximum of 100 cm. as shown in the figure.

Electrical Connection

Make sure that the electrical system can support the maximum current as indicated on the rating plate located on the rear side of the machine. The washing machine should be connected to an electrical outlet with ground, as prescribed by law.

Working instructions

Before using the washing machine it is advisable to run it for a complete cycle with detergent and hot water but without clothing to greasy residues and to determine that the machine is working properly. The washing machine should be stable and reasonably quiet. If during use unusual movements are noticed, make sure that it is level by altering the adjustable feet.

Preliminary checks

Before starting the machine ensure that:

• the machine is plugged in;
  – the water supply hose is connected to the tap and that this is turned on:
• the waste water hose is properly booked over the sink and the outlet not blocked.

If the door is not properly closed, the machine will not work. It should always be remembered that the washing machine is made to wash up to 5 kg (11 lb) of dry linen and before putting the linen inside.

Everything must be removed from the pockets. In addition please remove anything that can come loose, ex collar stays and bra bones.

Sorting the clothes

● Whites and strong colours;
● Non resistant coloureds:
● Delicate materials (silk, rayon, etc.).
It should be remembered that each of these groups must be washed separately, as they all require different water temperatures and different amounts of washing powder.

It is however essential to remove all persistent fruit, ink, lipstik stains etc. with the usual cleaning methods before putting the linen into the machine.

Washing instructions

Washing with the machine is very simple. Just remember these points: sort the clothes, put them into the machine, put the detergents in the respective chambers and choose the programme most suitable for the type of linen to be washed, by setting it on the basis of the suggestions given in the chapter «Controls», then push the on-off button to start the programme.

The knob must always be turned clockwise it is necessary to make a complete turn of the knob in order to return to the chosen position, whenever the desired one is passed by mistake.

Wash programme chart

In programmes for synthetic fibre fabrics and delicate linen the cycles ends without spinning and no water draining, so that the linen remains immersed avoiding creasing.

Before removing the clothes from the machine the water can be drained and clothes spun for a short time. To do so:

- Push the on-off button, turn the knob until the indicator corresponds to position (short spin) and then push the on-off button once again.

Choosing the correct programme

The wash symbols given on the programme selector correspond the wash care labels on your clothes. The wash tub symbol on its own represents maximum wash. The tub with a line below 📋 represents medium wash. The broken line 📋 means minimum wash. Some programmes have a normal (N) drum movement, intermediate and final spins. Other programmes will leave the clothes in the final rinse water. These programmes also have a reduced (R) drum movement.

Water can be spun away by choosing a normal (©) spin or a delicate short spin (©)

Warning.

It is important to remember, when the washing is finished, to push the on-off button, turn off the taps and disconnect the plug.
