As pointed out by @toms, you can find in the CartoDB documentation a step-by-step guide about how to geocode your data. Basically, click on the Edit buttom at the top of the Dataset View. Then, click on Georeference. Select "By postal code". And finally, select the field in which you have stored postal codes (Field 6) and choose the country your postal codes are located. Continue.
