PRACTICAL HINTS

Load tips When sorting laundry, make sure:

• have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, and coins, from laundry;
  • to have buttoned pillowcases, closed zips, tied loose belts, and long robe ribbons;
  • to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;
  • to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
  • to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.
• When washing rugs, bedcovers, or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.
• To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed. Check the fabric label.

Useful advice for saving

Tips on how to save money and not damage the environment when using your appliance.

• Load the machine to the highest capacity shown in the program table for each program – this will allow you to SAVE energy and water.
• Noise and residual laundry moisture are affected by spin speed: a faster spin is associated with greater noise and lower residual moisture in the laundry.
• The most efficient programs in terms of combined use of water and energy are usually the longer-lasting ones with lower temperatures.

Maximize the load size

• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent, and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

• For heavily soiled laundry only! SAVE detergent, time, water, and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash program. Save energy by using a low-temperature wash programme.

Before using a drying program (WASHER-DRYERS)

• SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in the laundry before using a drying program.

Dosing the detergent

Below is a short guide with tips and advice on the use of detergent.

• Only use detergents suitable for machine washing.
• Select your detergent according to the type of fabric (cotton, delicates, synthetics, wool, silk, etc.), the color, the type and level of soiling, and the programmed washing temperature.
• To use the right amount of detergent, softener or any other additives, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions every time: correctly using the appliance with the right dose allows you to avoid waste and to reduce the environmental impact.

When washing heavily soiled whites,

• we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C

• The type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling.
• Normal powders are suitable for “white” or color-fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “color protecting” powders are suitable for colored fabrics with light levels of soiling.

For washing at temperatures below 40°C

• We recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low-temperature washing.
• For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.
• Too much detergent leads to excessive foam, which prevents the cycle from being carried out correctly. It could also affect the quality of the washing and rinsing.

The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following effects:

• cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.
• white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by the fabric and does not change its color.
• To remove the zeolites , select a rinsing program. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.
• foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessarily indicate poor rinsing. Consider using less detergent in future washes.
• abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry. In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at all. We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner. If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Looking after your appliance correctly can extend its lifespan.

Cleaning the appliance’s exterior

• Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
• To clean the washing machine exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents.

The washing machine does not require any special care for ordinary cleaning: clean drawer compartments and the filter; some tips on how to move the machine or on long periods of disuse are provided below.

Filter cleaning

• The washing machine comes with a special filter able to trap large residue, such as buttons or coins, which could clog the drain.
• ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN MODELS: pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper, and drain the water into a container.
• Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry.
• Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop in the vertical position.
• Remove and clean the filter; when finished, replace it turning it clockwise.
• Repeat the previous steps in reverse order to reassemble all parts.

Suggestions for moves or prolonged disuse

• Should the washing machine be stored in an unheated room for a long period of time, drain all water from the tubes.
• Unplug the washing machine.

Description of programmes
To clean different types of fabrics and various levels of dirt, the washing machine has specific programs to meet every need of washing (see table of programs). Choose a program in accordance with the laundry instructions appearing on labels, especially the maximum recommended temperature.

WARNING: IMPORTANT WASH PERFORMANCE ADVICE.

• New, colored garments should be washed separately for at least 5 or 6 washes.
• Certain large dark items such as jeans and towels should always be washed separately.
• Never mix NON-COLOURFAST fabrics.

Smart Touch
The customizable setting of the knob that you have to select when you would like to transfer command from the App to the machine and to download/start a cycle (see the dedicated section and the user manual of the App for more info). In the Smart Touch option the factory sets as a default the “Auto- Clean” cycle, made to clean the drum, remove bad smells, and extend the life of the washing machine. Make sure there is no load in the drum before starting the “Auto-Clean” cycle, use a proprietary washing machine cleaning agent or powder detergent.  Leave the door of the machine open at the end of the cycle to allow the drum to dry. Recommended every 50 washes.

• COTTON
  This program is suitable for washing colored cotton garments at 40°C or for ensuring the highest degree of cleanliness for cotton-resistant laundry washing at 60°C or 90°C. The final spin is at maximum speed which ensures excellent water removal.

• COTTON + PREWASH
  This program has been designed to remove the stronger stains from cotton white clothes. The prewash guarantees tough dirt removal. Add into compartment “1” a quantity of detergent equal to 20% of that used for the main wash.

• ECO 40-60
  The ECO 40-60 program is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40°C or 60°C, together in the same cycle. This program is used to assess compliance with the EU Ecodesign legislation (environmentally friendly product design).

• 20°C
  This innovative program, allows you to wash different fabrics and colors together, such as cotton, synthetics, and mixed fabrics at only 20°C, and provides an excellent cleaning performance. Consumption on this program is about 40% of a conventional 40°C cotton wash.

• SYNTHETICS
  This program allows you to wash different types of fabrics and different colors altogether. The rotation movement of the drum and the water levels are optimized, both during the washing and the rinsing phase. The accurate spin action ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabrics.

• RINSE
  This program performs 3 rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the appropriate button). It is used for rinsing any type of fabric, for example after a wash carried out by hand.

• DRAIN + SPIN
  The program completes the drain and a maximum spin. It is possible to delete or reduce the spin through the SPIN SELECTION button.

• JEANS
  This program has been designed to have the highest quality cleaning of fabrics such as denim: ideal for removing dirt without affecting the elasticity of the fibers.

• HYGIENE
  Program for durable fabrics it allows you to sanitize the laundry. We recommend the use of powder detergents to increase the effectiveness of sanitizing.

• WOOL/HAND WASH
  This program performs a wash cycle dedicated to the wool fabrics that can be washed in a washing machine, the articles to be washed by hand, or laundry items made from silk or specified as “Wash as Silk” on the fabric label.

• DELICATES
  This program has reduced periods of drum rotation during the cycle and is particularly suitable for washing delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a high level of water to ensure the best performance.

• MIXED & COLOURED 59′
  This program offers you the freedom to wash all kinds of fabrics and non- fading colors together, with a full load, obtaining excellent results in only 59 minutes. With washing at medium temperature, this program is recommended for laundry that is not particularly dirty.

• RAPID 30′
  A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse, and spin). This program is particularly suited to slightly dirty pieces of cotton and mixed fabrics. With this program, it is recommended to use only 20% of the detergent normally used to avoid waste.

• PERFECT COTTON 59′
  This program guarantees excellent results for cotton laundry. This option was designed to cut washing time at medium temperatures for medium-soiled cotton laundry. Fill the machine only halfway for the best results.

• To close the drum, place the doors so that the one with the (A) button is below the other and they fit together perfectly.

Detergent load
The detergent dispenser is divided into 3 compartments:

• Compartment 1 is for powder detergent.
• Compartment 2 is for liquid detergent.
• The compartment is for fabric conditioners, scenting agents, and special additives such as starch, blueing, etc.
• MAX – on the detergent case, the maximum level of detergent to be used. Do not exceed this level.
• When the clothes present stains that need treatment with bleaching liquid products, you can proceed to their preliminary cleaning in the washing machine. For that: Introduce the bleach product in “compartment 2”, and set the rinse program . Once finished the treatment set the programmer to the OFF position, add the rest of the laundry, and proceed to the normal washing with the wanted program.

1. Maximum Main wash washing powder
2. Maximum Main wash washing liquid
3. Maximum scenting agent

TROUBLESHOOTING AND WARRANTY

If you believe the washing machine is not working correctly, consult the quick guide provided below which includes some practical tips on how to fix the most common problems.

FOR SMART TOUCH MODELS
The Candy Simply-Fi app has a Smart Check-up function that allows you to confirm the functionality and status of the product at any time. To use the Candy simply-Fi app you will need an Android smartphone with NFC technology. More info can be found on the App.  If the display of the machine is showing an error (by a code or blinking LEDs), you should turn on the App on your Android smartphone, with NFC on. Place your smartphone against the Smart Touch logo on the control panel. You should now be able to read the fault directory to solve the issue.

ERROR CODE FORMAT

• Models with a display: the error is shown by a number preceded by the letter “E” (example: E2 = Error 2).
• Models without display: an error is shown by a sequence of flashes of every LED. The error code is shown by the number of flashes followed by a pause of 5 seconds (example: two flashes – pause 5 seconds – two flashes – repeating = Error 2).

OTHER ANOMALIES

plugged into a working supply socket.
Make sure the power is on.
Make sure the wall socket is working, testing it with another

an appliance such as a lamp.

The door may not be correctly closed: open and close it again.
Check whether the required program was correctly selected and the

start button pressed.

Make sure the washing machine is not in pause or time delay mode.
Water leaked on the floor near the washing machine| This may be due to a leak from the seal between the tap, supply hose and fill valve; in this case, replace it and tighten the hose connections correctly.
Make sure the front filter is correctly closed.
The washing machine does not spin| The machine is fitted with a detection system that protects the load and product from damage if the load is not balanced before spinning. This may result in:-

·   The machine attempts to balance the load, increasing the time of spin.

·   Reduction of the speed of spin to decrease vibrations and noise.

·   The spin cycle aborting to protect the machine and load.

If this is experienced remove the load de-tangle it, reload it and

restart the spin program.

This could be due to the fact that water has not been completely

drained: wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, see the Error 3 section.

Some models include a “no spin” function: make sure it is not

selected.

Check which options are selected and their effect on the spin cycle.
Excessive detergent can impede the spin cycle, ensuring the correct

amount of detergent is being used.

Strong vibrations/noises are heard during the spin cycle| The washing machine may not be fully leveled: if necessary, adjust the feet as indicated in the specific section.
Make sure transport screws, rubber bungs, and spacer tubes were removed.
Make sure there are no foreign objects inside the drum (coins,

hinges, buttons, etc…).
