Frequently Asked Questions - Di642 Caple

How do I install the Caple Di642 dishwasher?

Ensure the dishwasher is placed on a level surface. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water supply (3/4 inch thread). Plug the drain hose into a suitable drain pipe or sink drain. Connect the power cable to a grounded socket (230V/10A). For built-in installation, use the provided mounting brackets and follow the template in the manual.

What is the capacity of this dishwasher?

The Caple Di642 holds up to 12 place settings. It is designed for standard dining sets including plates, bowls, glasses, and cutlery.

How do I clean the filters?

Turn off the dishwasher and remove the lower basket. Unscrew the cylindrical microfilter by turning it counterclockwise. Lift out the flat mesh filter. Rinse both components under running water to remove debris. Use a soft brush if needed. Reinstall in reverse order. Clean filters regularly for optimal performance.

Why is my dishwasher not draining?

Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Clean the filters as described above; a clogged filter is a common cause. Ensure the sink drain is not blocked. If the problem persists, inspect the drain pump impeller for obstructions (refer to manual). Error codes may indicate drainage issues.

How do I start a delayed wash?

After loading and selecting a program, press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the desired delay (1-24 hours). The display will show the delay time. Close the door and press Start. The dishwasher will begin at the end of the delay period.

What do the error codes mean?

Common errors: E1 – water intake issue (check tap and hose), E4 – overflow (turn off water and call service), E8 – heating fault (call support). Refer to the error code table in the manual for full details. Reset the machine by unplugging for 30 seconds.

Can I use tablet detergents?

Yes, tablets are suitable. Use the Multi-tab program or standard programs. For best results, place the tablet in the detergent dispenser and close the flap. Ensure the rinse aid is filled. Some tablets include salt and rinse aid; adjust settings accordingly.

How do I adjust the rinse aid setting?

Open the rinse aid dispenser lid (usually near the detergent dispenser). Adjust the dial using a coin: setting 1 (low) for soft water, setting 6 (high) for hard water. Start with setting 3 and adjust if dishes have streaks or spots.

What should I do if the dishes are not dry?

Ensure you are using rinse aid. Select a program with a drying phase (e.g., Eco, Intensive). Do not overload the dishwasher. Open the door slightly after the cycle ends to let steam escape. Check the heating element for defects (call service if needed).

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts for the Caple Di642 are available through authorized Caple service centers, online parts retailers, or the Caple website. Common parts include filters, racks, spray arms, and door seals. Use the model number Di642 for correct identification.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

NOTE:

Images are for reference only.

PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

Set the water softener.
Add 1.5Kg dishwasher salt and then fill the salt container with water.
Fill the Rinse Aid dispenser.
Fill in detergent.

The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.

The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is.

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

ADJUSTING SALT CONSUMPTION

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption.

Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption:

1. Open the door and Switch on the appliance.
2. Press the Programme button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener setting within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on (The Salt and Rinse Aid warning lights will be on periodically when it is in this setting mode).
3. Press the Programme button to select the proper setting according to your local environment, the settings will change in the following sequence: H1→H2→H3→H4→H5→H6
4. Press the Power button to end the set up mode.

The manufactory setting: H3

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

NOTE:

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 appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container 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 basket and should be filled as explained in the following:

ATTENTION:

Only use salt specifically designed for the use in dishwasher. Every other type of salt not specifically designed for the use in a dishwasher, 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 just 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.

    C --> D["Add to a container with a curved arrow indicating rotation"]
    D --> E["Transfer from a container into a pot with liquid"]

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 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
3. 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 turn off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing programme should be started (we suggest to use a short programme). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water.

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 salt has spilled, run a soak or quick programme to remove it.

RINSE AID DISPENSER

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.

FUNCTION OF RINSE AID

Rinse Aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

ATTENTION:

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

The regularity of the dispenser needing to be refilled depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse aid setting used.

The Low Rinse Aid indicator (※) will be lit when more rinse aid is needed.
Do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser.

ADJUST RINSE AID DISPENSER

To achieve a better drying performance with limited rinse aid, the dishwasher is designed to adjust the consumption by user. Follow the below steps.

1. Open the door, switch on the appliance.
2. Within 60 seconds after step 1, press the Programme button for more than 5 seconds, and then press the Delay button, the rinse aid light will blink.
3. Press the Programme button to select your desired setting. The settings will change in the following sequence: D1->D2->D3->D4->D5->D1. The higher the number, the more rinse aid the dishwasher uses.
4. If there is no operation for 5 seconds, the setting will be successful.

NOTE:

Press the power button to cancel the setting.

DETERGENT DISPENSER

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.

ATTENTION:

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

DETERGENTS

There are 3 sorts of detergents:

1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chlorine

Normally new powdered detergent is without phosphate. Thus the water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of water is only 6 dH. If detergents without phosphate are used in the case of hard water often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not be removed completely. In this case please choose a programme with a higher temperature.

DETERGENT TABLETS

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

DETERGENT DISPENSER

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

NOTE:

Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.

WARNING:

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive.

Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

FILL THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

1. Open the cap by pressing down the release catch.

2. Add detergent into the larger cavity (A) for the main wash cycle. For better cleaning result, especially if you have very dirt items, pour a small amount of detergent onto the door.

The additional detergent will activate during the pre-wash phase.

1. Close the flap by sliding it to the front and then pressing it down.

NOTE:

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

LOADING THE DISHWASHER BASKETS

RECOMMENDATION

Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to dishes'. If necessary, seek further information from the detergent manufacturers.
For particular items, select a programme with as low a temperature as possible.
To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the programme has ended.

THE FOLLOWING CUTLERY / DISHES:

ARE NOT SUITABLE

Cutlery with wood, 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 aluminium 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.

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 to glasses, they must not touch.
Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishwasher 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 and then 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 programme has ended.

LOADING THE UPPER BASKET

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishwasher 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.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with rollers and housing (no text or symbols)

Please be reminded that:

Pots, serving bowls, etc., must always be placed top down.
Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
The bottom basket features folding spikes so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

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 (right). 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 of 19cm, this is to not hamper the opening of it.

Open the door a little to stop the washing.
After the spray arms stop working, you can open the door completely.
Add the forgotten dishes.
Close the door.
The dishwasher will start running again.

WARNING:

It is dangerous to open the door mid-cycle, as hot steam may scald you.

After washing, the door will open automatically to achieve a better drying effect.

NOTE:

The dishwasher door must not be blocked when set to open automatically. This can disrupt door lock functionality.

Wait for a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.

UNLOADING THE DISHWASHER

It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one. This will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

FILTERING SYSTEM

The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. The residues may block the filter, in this case they must be removed.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) and a microfilter (Fine filter).

Technical illustration of a mechanical component with a spring and cylindrical base (no text or symbols)

1. COARSE FILTER

Larger items, such as pieces of bones or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove items caught by the coarse filter, gently squeeze the tabs on the top of the filter and lift out.

2. MAIN FILTER

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

3. FINE FILTER

This filter holds soil and food residues in the sump area and prevents it from being deposited on the dishes during wash cycle.

FILTER ASSEMBLY

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recycled during the cycle. For best performance and results, the filter must be cleaned regularly. 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 device, turn the filter anti-clockwise and pull the filter in the upwards direction.

NOTE:

The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.

CLEANING THE FILTER

1. Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the disassembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.

WARNING:

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

CONTROL PANEL AND EXTERIOR

The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth only. After cleaning, make sure to dry it thoroughly.

For the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE DOOR AND 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.

WARNING:

Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.
Abrasive agents or some paper towels should not be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING

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

1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher.
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 dishwasher and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

NOTE:

If your dishwasher cannot work because of the ice build up, please contact a qualified plumber or serviceman.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

To clean the spray arms, follow the instructions below:

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

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 open so that moisture and odours 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 recommend 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 odours 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 causes odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION:

We strongly recommend the installation of the pipes and electrical connections should be made by a qualified engineer or similarly qualified professional.

WARNING:

Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

The installation position of dishwasher should be near the existing inlet and drain hoses and power cord. One side of the cabinet sink should be chosen to facilitate the connection of drain hoses of the dishwasher.

NOTE:

Please check the accompanying installation accessories (fixing for aesthetic door panel).

ELECTRICAL 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 10 amp fuse, 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 corresponds to those on the rating label. 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 an adapter as they could cause overheating and burns.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and earthed in accordance with all local standards and requirements.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of an electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it is not fit for the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

CONNECTION OF DRAIN HOSES

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The height of drain pipe must be less than 100cm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.

HOW TO DRAIN EXCESS WATER FROM THE HOSE

If the sink is higher than 100cm 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 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

SYPHON CONNECTION

The waste connection must be at a height less than 100cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher. 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.

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:

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

If dishwasher is installed at the corner of the cabinet, there should be a gap of at least 50mm when the door is opened to the adjacent cabinets.

NOTE:

Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the opposite cabinet side.

STEP 2:

Furniture door panel's dimensions and installation.

NOTE:

The furniture door weight should be 5-7KG.
