We will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the model, introduce its capabilities and compare it with its competitors. With our advice, choosing a dishwasher will become much easier.

Design and principle of operation of the CDCF 6E-07 model

The Candy brand does not need any special introduction: Italian-made household appliances have long been popular on different continents. And although the main production facilities have long since moved to China, kitchen equipment, in particular dishwashers, are successfully holding their own.

The supplier in the Russian Federation is the company "Candy CIS", and the sale of household appliances, including Candy dishwashers, are engaged in chain stores.

A careful analysis of the design of the machine, its functions and capabilities will allow you to understand whether the compact model will cope with the task assigned to it.

Dishwasher design and components

Externally, the CDCF6E07 dishwasher is a copy of most of the compact devices: has dimensions and shape for easy installation on a tabletop, in a separate furniture module or in a cabinet with doors.

On sale or in photos in discussions you can see a similar model CDCF 6ES 07. Technically the devices are identical, they differ only in the color of the case: E – white, ES – silver

A convenient touch control panel is located in the upper part of the front side, which is also a door, and stands out in black gloss against a light background.

A set of buttons and indicators allows you to set the selected program, set the necessary parameters, add detergents on time and monitor the dishwashing process.

Tools for operating the dishwasher are located on the panel. Simple symbols will help you easily understand the programming and startup scheme

Using the machine is easy and convenient. But after some time, you will definitely need serious cleaning of the machine parts, and possibly repair or replacement of some components.

The Candy CDCF6E07 dishwasher should not be overloaded so as not to reduce the quality of dishwashing. Do not place items that are too small or could fall out of the basket.

The filtration system is located under the basket. It protects the pump from food debris and consists of three filters: main, fine and coarse filters.

The first traps food particles that are washed down the drain with water, the second “catches” the remains and places them in a special sump, and the third is designed to hold large and hard pieces of food, bones, glass, etc.

The filter should be cleaned by hand and rinsed under running water, preferably after each “serious” wash of heavily soiled dishes.

In addition to the filter, plastic sprinklers also require washing - you need to make sure that the water outlet holes are not clogged. It is not recommended to disassemble or change the remaining parts, especially those connected to the power supply.

To start the dishwasher, you need to perform a number of steps:

• Press the “On” button and open the door.
• Add detergent, put regenerating salt And dishwasher rinse aid (or check availability).
• Arrange the dishes according to the diagram.
• Close the door and select the washing program on the control panel.
• Start the car.
• After finishing work, a beep will sound 8 times - you can turn it off.
• Unload the baskets, removing the dishes one at a time.

Recommended after graduation wash cycle Wait a few minutes for the cups and plates to completely cool down before removing them from the machine. When opening the door, you can get burned by hot steam - you need to act carefully.

Main technical characteristics

Before studying the characteristics, you need to make sure that the dishwasher will fit in the designated space, that is, check its dimensions. The sizes are usually indicated both on the price tag and in the instructions.

Dimensions of the compact machine: 438 mm * 550 mm * 500 mm (h * w * d). With the door open, which opens towards itself, the depth increases to 812 mm - this also needs to be taken into account when planning the installation

The technical device is intended for connection to a 220-230 V electrical network and a cold water supply system, the pressure of which is 0.04-1.0 MPa.

To find out more detailed information regarding resource consumption and operating features, you should look at the dishwasher specifications.

To the listed characteristics you need to add electricity consumption - 1280 W, water consumption for 1 standard cycle - 7 liters. Annual figures are calculated for 280 dishwashing cycles in normal mode

Energy consumption and drying efficiency classes are considered high (A). Thanks to this, it is possible to save electricity, therefore reducing monthly payments. The noise level is average; quieter dishwashers are also available for sale.

Model CDCF6E07 simultaneously washes 6 sets of dishes, that is, it can easily serve a family of 3 people after lunch and dinner.

How to unpack and get acquainted with the model for the first time:

Program features and options

The compact household appliance has 6 programs, which fundamentally differ in the following features:

• degree of soiling of the dishes;
• tableware material;
• a set of procedures in a cycle;
• duration of work;
• dosage detergents;
• water and energy consumption.

To compare and select programs, the manufacturer has compiled a convenient table with which you can choose the right dishes and detergents, as well as schedule washing for a convenient time.

After evening tea or a light snack, the dishes do not get very dirty, so you can use the economical and fast “accelerated mode”

If the wash needs to be postponed to a later time, the “delayed start” option helps. It is designed to delay the start time of 2/4/6/8 hours.

To prevent noise from disturbing apartment residents in the evening, the machine is programmed for the “night shift,” when everyone goes to their bedrooms. In studio apartments, on the contrary, it is more convenient to start the cycle during the day, when the room remains empty.

Another option that may be useful is changing the program of a machine that is already turned on. But it is recommended to use it if the cycle has been started recently, otherwise the detergent will be partially used.

To change the program, you need to press the “Pause” button and hold the program button for 3 seconds. Then you should select a new program and turn on the machine. During a shift, it is possible to reload the basket.

Recommendations for use and care

Many users mention that the operation of a dishwasher largely depends on the regularity and quality of care. For example, if you avoid cleaning the filter in a timely manner, at one point the device will simply refuse to work.

You need to ensure that even the smallest particles of food are washed off with water and not left in the washing compartment. Large pieces must be shaken out of a special sump.

The manufacturer recommends loading only special powders, tablets, salt and rinse aid into detergent cuvettes, and strictly observing the dosage. Indicators indicate the need to load

A dishwasher is not considered a universal unit in terms of washing items made of various materials, and the Kandy CDCF6E07 model is no exception. It should not be loaded with dishes made of non-heat-resistant plastic, synthetic fibers or wood, copper or tin utensils, or glued plates or cups.
