Candy DFI 95 T - Manual (Page 20)

The filter system (fig.A “4”) consists of:
a central container that traps the larger
particles.
a flat gauze that continuously filters the
wash water
a micro filter, located beneath the gauze,
that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a
perfect rinse.
To achieve excellent results every time, the
filters should be checked and cleaned after
each wash.
To remove the filter unit, simply turn the
handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
For ease of cleaning, the central container is
removable (fig. 2).
Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) and wash the
whole unit under a jet of water. If necessary
a small brush can be used.
With the Self-cleaning Micro filter, mainte-
nance is reduced and the filter unit need only
be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless,
after each wash it is advisable to check that
the central container and the gauze filter are
not clogged.
NB: after cleaning the filters, make sure
that they are correctly reassembled and
that the gauze filter is properly positioned
at the bottom of the dishwasher.
Make sure that the filter is screwed back,
clockwise, into the gauze, as poor
seating of the filter unit could have an
adverse effect on the efficiency of the
appliance.
Warning: never use the dishwasher
without the filters.

If you select a programme with a prewash cycle, the performance will be improved by
adding a small amount of detergent during this part of the cycle.
CAUTION! IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF COMBINED DETERGENTS
If you are planning to use combined detergents i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse
agent, we would advise the following:
- read carefully and follow the manufacturer’s instructions given on the packaging;
- some combined detergents, particularly those with built in rinse agent, provide best
results when used with specific programmes;
- the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on
the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is
within the effective range given on the detergent packaging.
In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause:
- limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher;
- a reduction in washing and drying performance.
Should this occur, we would recommend using traditional separate products – salt,
detergent and rinse agent. This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher
operates correctly.
Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be
required before the system becomes fully efficient again.
NOTE
Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not
covered by our warranty.

Filling the rinse aid container
The rinse aid container can be found to the right of the
detergent container: it has a capacity of about 130 ml
(fig. A "3").
Turn the cap (3) anticlockwise and pour enough liquid to last
several washes, up to the maximum level shown. Replace
the cap.
The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the
last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and
prevents spots and stains forming.
It is always advisable to use rinse aid.
Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye which is
situated in the centre of the dispenser (4).
Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6
The regulator is placed under the cap (3) and can be
turned using a coin. The recommended position is 3.
The limestone content of the water considerably affects the
formation of limescale and the drying performance.
It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse
aid to achieve good washing results.
If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease
the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase
the amount by one position.
