This document serves as an instruction manual for a Candy dishwasher, model CDI 2T1047. It provides comprehensive guidance on the appliance's operation, maintenance, and installation, ensuring users can maximize its performance and longevity.
The Candy CDI 2T1047 is an automatic dishwasher designed for household use, capable of washing up to 10 place settings. It features a water softener system to manage water hardness, which is crucial for preventing mineral deposits on dishes and internal components. The dishwasher offers various wash programs tailored to different levels of soiling and types of dishes, including Intensive, Normal, ECO, Glass, 90 Min, Rapid, and Soak. These programs vary in temperature, duration, and water consumption, allowing users to select the most appropriate cycle for their needs. The ECO program, in particular, is highlighted as the most efficient in terms of combined energy and water consumption for normally soiled tableware.
The appliance incorporates a detergent dispenser for both main wash and pre-wash cycles, and a rinse aid dispenser that automatically releases rinse aid during the final rinse to facilitate quick drying and prevent spots and stains. A salt container is also integrated into the design, essential for the water softener's operation, especially in areas with hard water. The dishwasher is equipped with spray arms that rotate to ensure thorough cleaning of dishes in both the upper and lower baskets. A filtering system, comprising coarse, main, and fine filters, traps food particles and prevents them from recirculating or blocking the drain, contributing to effective cleaning and preventing damage to the pump.
Operating the dishwasher involves a straightforward process. Users first switch on the appliance, then load the baskets, ensuring dishes are correctly positioned to allow free rotation of the spray arms and proper water drainage. Sharp items should be placed with points down, and plastic items should be marked "dishwasher safe." Detergent and, if necessary, rinse aid and salt are then loaded into their respective dispensers. The amount of detergent varies based on the dirtiness of the dishes and the chosen program. For combined detergents (e.g., "ALL in 1"), users are advised to follow the manufacturer's instructions and adjust rinse aid and salt settings accordingly, or even disable the indicator lights if the combined product includes these components.
Once loaded and filled, a wash program is selected using the program button, and the appliance starts after closing the door and turning on the water tap. The dishwasher includes a "half-load function" for smaller loads, optimizing water and energy consumption. An "Extra drying" function enhances drying efficiency by increasing the final rinse temperature and extending the drying phase, while a "Strong wash" function boosts cleaning power with higher temperatures and additional rinsing. The "Delay Button" allows users to postpone the start of a wash cycle.
During a running cycle, the program can be modified if it has only been running for a short time, provided detergent has not yet been released. Forgotten dishes can be added by pausing the cycle, waiting for the spray arms to stop, adding the items, and then resuming. At the end of a wash cycle, the dishwasher signals completion with a buzzer. Users are advised to wait a few minutes before unloading to allow dishes to cool and dry better, starting with the lower basket to prevent water from dripping onto already dry items.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the dishwasher's performance and longevity. The filtering system, consisting of coarse, main, and fine filters, should be cleaned regularly, ideally after each wash cycle, to remove trapped food particles. The manual provides detailed steps for disassembling and cleaning the filters, emphasizing the importance of not knocking them to avoid damage. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned at least once a week.
The spray arms also require periodic cleaning to prevent hard water chemicals from clogging their jets and bearings. Instructions are provided for removing and cleaning both the upper and lower spray arms. The control panel and exterior surfaces can be cleaned with a lightly dampened cloth, followed by thorough drying. A good appliance polish wax can be used for the exterior. It is important to avoid abrasive cleaners, sharp objects, or spray cleaners on the door panel, as these can cause damage or scratching.
For the door's edge, a soft, warm, damp cloth is recommended to prevent water penetration into the door lock and electrical components. To keep the dishwasher in shape, users are advised to turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar after every wash to prevent moisture and odors. Before cleaning or maintenance, the appliance should always be unplugged. If the dishwasher is not used for a long time, it is recommended to run an empty wash cycle, unplug it, turn off the water supply, and leave the door slightly open to maintain door seals and prevent odors. Periodic cleaning of the door seals with a damp sponge helps prevent food traps and odors. In winter, frost protection measures, such as draining water from the inlet pipe and sump, are recommended if the dishwasher is exposed to freezing temperatures.
