Candy brand washing units are distinguished by advanced functionality, excellent technical performance and a very reasonable price. All controls used to select washing modes in the Candy washing machine have intuitively clear standard symbols.
On the control panel of Candy units there are several “exclusive” icons that are not represented in samples of other brands. To implement all the functionality included in the product, you should familiarize yourself with their purpose.
System of specific designations
In order to determine the unclear symbols on the control panel, the user should first of all study the instructions for use of washing units of this brand. The attached document describes and deciphers in detail the functional positions responsible for selecting a specific mode or washing program.
Basic timing parameters
First of all, the time parameters of the washing process in Candy attract attention.
Important! They are standardized in minutes and can be set in several ways, depending on the type of material being washed and the ability to track the process.
To familiarize yourself with the temporary options of various programs in Candy, consider the following icons:
- One of the options for choosing the washing time is called “Aqua-plus”, in which the machine implements an extended rinse function for 30-40 minutes. This mode is especially in demand when processing clothes for allergy sufferers, as well as when washing children's clothes.
- Intensive wash is selected for laundry that requires special processing conditions, extended by the program to 170 minutes. It occurs at a relatively high temperature of the mixture (up to 95 degrees) and is optimally suited for thermally resistant fabrics such as linen and cotton.
- “Delayed start” as an option is especially convenient for housewives who want to leave the house for a while. After setting the start time of the program with a delay from 1 to 24 hours, you can always adjust the time of its end to your arrival from work, for example.
The auxiliary functions of the washing unit include the “rinse” program, which takes an additional 30-40 minutes.
Minor programs
The secondary designations that set certain time frames in the Candy washing machine include:
- Icons in the form of a basin with the letter “P” mean the ability to soak laundry in advance, which is in demand when washing very soiled items. The process does not take place in hot, but in slightly heated water. In this mode, detergent powder is poured into both containers at once, since it must be consumed in both the first and second cycle of the program, starting after draining (170 minutes).
- The icon in the form of three skeins of thread means a mode suitable for woolen items that are washed in lukewarm water at the lowest rotation speed of the take-up drum (55 min).
- The image of a basin with the inscription “32” means an express wash, for which the manufacturer allocates 32 minutes. This program is chosen for those items that only need a refreshing treatment.
In addition to purely temporary modes set by washing programs for certain categories of items, Candy machines provide special options (programs).
Special modes from Candy
Special modes that can be selected programmatically before washing include:
- The Super Wash program can only process cotton and synthetics. This option is suitable for budget-conscious housewives who prefer quick procedures. By pressing this button you can reduce the running time of all programs by 50 minutes.
- The “Super Rinse” option is well suited for those with allergies, but can also be used for children’s laundry with a rinsing time of about 30-40 minutes. When you select this function, the quality of the material after washing is noticeably softened, since by pressing one button you can immediately activate conditioning and aromatization.
- The “Drain without spin” mode is used when washing woolen fabrics with contraindications to spinning (4 minutes). A similar option is available, for example, in the Aquamatic 80F unit model. The peculiarity of the treatment in this case is to use only cold water.
- When you select the “Quick Wash” function, the work cycle additionally includes a rinse followed by an economical spin. It is applicable exclusively for things that are not too dirty and takes 44-32 minutes.
- “Express wash” is an accelerated procedure, the requirements for which remain the same as in the previous case (32 minutes).
- And finally, the “Mix & Wash System” option involves a combined procedure.In this case, it is allowed to load fabrics with different textures together (180 minutes).
This model provides a whole range of programs that involve intensive processing of washed items. To this should be added an intermediate spin, which significantly improves the quality of rinsing clothes. Upon completion, the products are subjected to additional drying.
When you select the “Synthetic and combined” option, the machine operates at certain speeds and water dosage, ensuring ideal rinsing (no creasing of the laundry). When using the “delicate wash” mode, long pauses are provided in the work process, and when selecting the “Wool” function, a special program prepared by the Woolmark Institute is used.
In this case, the laundry being treated is thoroughly rinsed with minimal mechanical impact.
Procedure for setting up washing modes
The sequence of operations that ensures high quality washing looks like this:
- Before putting the unit into operation, dirty laundry should be sorted by fabric type, since cotton, synthetic and all-woolen items must be washed separately.
- If this model has a combined processing mode, cotton can be placed in the drum together with synthetics.
- Fabrics, usually hand-washed, are collected in a separate portion and sorted by size.
To prevent the drum from becoming unbalanced, it is advisable to load large items separately from small laundry.
Short conclusion
If the washing machine is pre-set to wash according to a program for a certain type of fabric with a given level of contamination, the process itself is noticeably easier.At the same time, the user is guaranteed to receive their things perfectly clean and well-preserved in their original appearance.
