Overview

This document serves as an instruction manual for the Candy CDI 2L1047 dishwasher, providing comprehensive guidance on its operation, maintenance, and installation. It is designed to help users achieve optimal performance and ensure the longevity of their appliance.

Function Description

The Candy CDI 2L1047 is a household dishwasher designed to clean dishes, cutlery, and other kitchenware. It features various wash programs tailored for different levels of soiling and types of items. The appliance incorporates a water softener system to manage water hardness, preventing limescale deposits and improving cleaning results. It also includes a rinse aid dispenser to enhance drying performance and prevent spots and stains. The dishwasher is equipped with baskets for organized loading of items, including an upper basket for delicate items and a lower basket for larger, heavily soiled items, along with a dedicated cutlery basket.

Usage Features

Control Panel and Programs: The dishwasher features a user-friendly control panel with buttons for On/Off, Delay, and Program selection. Indicators show power status, delay time, and warnings for salt and rinse aid levels. It offers several wash programs:

  • Intensive: For heavily soiled crockery, pots, pans, and dishes with dried-on soiling.
  • Normal: For normally soiled loads like pots, plates, glasses, and lightly soiled pans.
  • ECO (EN 50242): A standard program suitable for normally soiled tableware, optimized for combined energy and water consumption.
  • Glass: For lightly soiled crockery and glass.
  • Daily: For lightly soiled loads that do not require excellent drying efficiency.
  • Rapid: A shorter wash for lightly soiled loads and quick wash.

The "Half load" function allows for washing smaller loads (up to 6 place settings) with reduced water and energy consumption, available for Intensive, Normal, ECO, Glass, and 90-minute programs.

Loading the Dishwasher: Proper loading is crucial for effective cleaning. Items should be placed facing downwards, and curved items or those with recesses should be loaded aslant to allow water to drain. Utensils must be stacked securely to prevent tipping, and spray arms should be free to rotate. Sharp items like knives should be loaded with points down or horizontally in the upper basket. Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher to prevent them from falling out of the basket. The upper basket's height can be adjusted to accommodate larger items. The lower basket features folding spikes for better stacking of pots and pans.

Detergent and Additives: The dishwasher requires specific dishwasher detergent (powder, liquid, or tablet form). The detergent dispenser is located inside the door. The amount of detergent varies based on the dirtiness of dishes. Rinse aid is automatically released during the last rinse cycle to aid drying and prevent spots. The rinse aid dispenser has an indicator eye to check levels, and its dosage can be adjusted from 1 to 6 based on water hardness and drying results. Dishwasher salt is essential for the water softener system, especially in hard water areas, to prevent mineral deposits. The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be refilled when the salt warning light illuminates. It is recommended to run a short wash program immediately after filling salt to prevent corrosion.

Starting and Modifying a Program: To start, load baskets, add detergent, plug in the appliance, turn on the water supply, close the door, press the On/Off button, select a program, and then press the Start/Pause button. A running cycle can be modified if it has been running for a short time; otherwise, the detergent dispenser may need refilling. Dishes can be added during a cycle by opening the door slightly, waiting for spray arms to stop, adding items, and then closing the door.

End of Wash Cycle: At the end of a cycle, the dishwasher will sound a buzzer. Turn off the appliance and water supply. It is advisable to wait a few minutes (about 15 minutes) before unloading to allow dishes to cool and dry better, starting with the lower basket to prevent water from dripping onto them.

Maintenance Features

Filtering System: The dishwasher's filtering system, consisting of a coarse filter, a main filter, and a fine filter, prevents food remnants from entering the pump. These filters should be cleaned regularly to ensure optimal performance. To clean, turn the filter in an anti-clockwise direction and lift it out. Use a cleaning brush to remove food particles and rinse under running water. Reassemble the filters correctly, ensuring they are positioned in their seat and pressed downwards. The dishwasher should never be operated without the filters.

Caring for the Dishwasher:

  • Control Panel: Clean with a lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners.
  • Door: Clean the edge around the door with a soft, warm, damp cloth. Do not use spray cleaners to avoid water penetration into the door lock and electrical components. Abrasive agents or paper towels should not be used on the stainless steel surface.
  • Spray Arms: Regularly clean the spray arms to prevent hard water chemicals from clogging the jets and bearings. The upper spray arm can be removed by rotating it clockwise, and the lower spray arm by pulling it upward. Wash them in soapy, warm water, and use a soft brush to clean the jets before rinsing and replacing.
  • General Care: After every wash, turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent moisture and odors. Remove the plug before cleaning or maintenance. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaning products for exterior and rubber parts. For interior spots, use a cloth dampened with water and vinegar or a dishwasher-specific cleaning product.
  • Long Periods of Non-Use: If the dishwasher will not be used for an extended period, run an empty wash cycle, remove the plug, turn off the water supply, and leave the door slightly open to preserve door seals and prevent odors.
  • Protect Against Freezing: In winter, cut off electrical power, turn off and disconnect the water inlet pipe, drain water from the inlet pipe and valve, and remove the filter at the bottom of the tub to soak up any remaining water with a sponge.

Troubleshooting: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide to help users identify and resolve common issues such as the dishwasher not starting, water not pumping out, suds in the tub, stained interiors, white film on surfaces, rust stains on cutlery, and various noises. It also lists error codes (Rapid light flicker for longer inlet time, Glass light flicker for overflow) and their possible causes and solutions. In case of overflow, the main water supply should be turned off before calling for service.
