Washing machine Candy - operating instructions

To understand how to use a Candy washing machine, you need not only to understand the mechanism of its operation, but also to navigate the modes, correctly decipher the symbols on the panel, know the stages of starting the wash and follow general recommendations for caring for the mechanism.

Main features of Candy washing machines

Candy washing machines are of Italian origin. They began production in 1945. Their development was so rapid that already at the end of the last century the brand was popular both in Europe and far beyond its borders. The main advantages of the units are their low price, along with an impressive range of models and positive technical characteristics. There are vertical machines that can hold up to 7 kg of things, there are compact ones, with a height of no more than 70 cm, and there are full-size ones - with a maximum number of modes and large capacity.

These washing machines are easy to operate, offer a wide range of options and do not consume a lot of water and electricity.

Candy washing machine modes

Before you start working with the Kandy washing machine, you need to decipher the meanings of the symbols on the panel and become familiar with all the features of the modes.Depending on the model, the user is offered programs:

• Aqua-plus. Designed to completely rid the item of detergents and involves double rinsing.
• Intensive Aimed at removing serious contaminants using high heating rates and maximum speed.
• Delayed start. Allows you to set the start time for the next day. Before selecting a mode, the laundry must be placed in the drum, the powder must be poured into the container and then the start time must be specified.
• Rinsing. It is an additional program and allows you to better clean things from used detergents.
• Soak. Suitable for very dirty items and provides two wash cycles. A low level of heating is used and the powder is poured into two containers at once.
• Wool. Designed for delicate woolen products, it is characterized by low heating temperatures and low speed of rotation.
• Express wash. Allows you to quickly refresh things in half an hour. Characterized by high drum rotation speed.
• Super wash. Consumes a small amount of electricity and is used only for cotton and synthetic materials.
• Super rinse. Used for children's products or items intended for allergy sufferers. This is how the Candy washing device ensures complete removal of detergent from linen and clothes.
• Working with durable fabrics. Suitable for products made of cotton, linen, hemp, characterized by the use of a temperature of 90 degrees.
• Wash in cold water. For very delicate fabrics and is an alternative to hand washing.
• Sport. Designed for synthetic sportswear and shoes.
• Conditioning.Includes the use of conditioners, softening and flavoring agents.
• No drain. Recommended for items that cannot be washed without spinning.
• Combined wash. Allows you to wash items from different fabrics and materials in one go.

When selecting a mode, the Candy Smart washing machine focuses on the type of fabric. There are four signs on its panel:

• Durable fabrics – intensive processing with intermediate spinning.
• Synthetic and combined - selects the number of revolutions and the amount of water so that the result is ideal.
• Delicate - more water is used and several long pauses are made during the work.
• Wool – minimal mechanical impact with strong rinsing.

Separately, it is worth dwelling on the powder receptacle compartments. All used detergents must be placed in it. Throwing powder onto clothing can harm both the device and the item itself. Candy washing machines have three compartments:

1. The compartment marked with the letter B is used in basic operating modes and is intended for dry or liquid powder.
2. The container marked with the letter A is used in the “soaking” mode, when the process uses two cleaning stages.
3. A container with a picture of a flower is intended for liquid conditioners, rinses and fragrances.

Starting the washing machine

Before starting the Candy washing machine, you must carefully sort your laundry into black, white and colored. Then separate cotton, synthetic and wool items from each other. All of them are subject to separate washing. Combined loading of cotton and synthetics into the drum is permissible only if a combined mode is selected.Before loading the machine, fasten the clothes with buttons, zippers or snaps. If the clothes have stubborn stains, pre-treat them with a stain remover. Do not put bras, as well as items with beads, rhinestones, seed beads and other small decorative trim in the machine.

When all the clothes are placed in the drum, the lid should be tightly closed. When using one of the Candy programs, specifying the temperature, speed and other indicators is not required. The mode parameters can be adjusted using the selector switches. Add powder to the containers and, if necessary, additional products: conditioner, stain remover, etc. When all the stages have been completed, press the "start" button.

If after starting the process you need to stop, you should cancel the program by setting the selector to the "OFF" indicator. Then you should change the mode and press "start". Or you can press the "Pause" button when the door is unlocked - take out or put things in, close the drum and press start.

Operating Rules for Candy Washing Machines

• Load the drum completely, avoiding overweight. This can cause the entire mechanism to break down.
• Use softening agents.
• Mainly use modes with a speed of 600 - 700. Frequent use of modes with 800 revolutions or more on Candy washing mechanisms leads to rapid breakdown of the seal and bearings.
• After each wash, wipe the glass and open the detergent container for 15 - 20 minutes. This will ventilate the Candy machine, reduce the likelihood of damage to the rubber of the hatch and prevent liquid from getting under the cuffs.
• Always unplug your device. Otherwise, during possible surges in the electricity supply, the power supply will overheat and fail.
• Once a season, do a dry wash using a descaling agent and turning on a high temperature setting. This will clean all parts of the device from blockages and the negative effects of solid deposits.
