MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
To clean the washing machine exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents. To maintain a good wash performance we recommend that the soap drawer and pump filters are regularly cleaned. A monthly service wash, using a proprietary cleaner is also recommended.
Drawer cleaning
- We recommend you clean the drawer to avoid accumulating detergent and additive residue.
- To do this, extract the drawer using slight force, clean it with running water and reinsert it in its housing.
- Ensure the siphon cap is correctly refitted.
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.
- Ensure all the water has been emptied from the drum.
- Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry. A small amount of water will come out of the filter as you remove it - this is normal.
- Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop.
- Remove and clean the filter; when finished, replace it turning it clockwise. The filter handle will be locked when it is not possible to turn any further and the handle is horizontal. Smearing a small amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will help refitting.
- 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 tubes.
- Unplug the washing machine.
- Detach the tube from the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.
- Secure the drain tube with the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine when finished.
- Keep the door glass and gasket clean.
TROUBLESHOOTING
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 smart phone 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).
| Error shown | Possible causes and practical solutions |
E2 (with display) 2 flashes of the LEDs (without display) | The machine cannot load water. Make sure the water supply tap is open. Make sure the water supply hose isn’t bent, kinked or trapped. Make sure the drain pipe is at the proper height (see installation section). Close the water supply tap, unscrew the filler hose from the back of the washing machine and make sure the “anti-sand” filter is clean and not blocked. |
E3 (with display) 3 flashes of the LEDs (without display) | The washing machine does not drain water. Make sure the filter is not clogged. Make sure the drain hose isn’t bent, kinked or trapped. Make sure the home drainage system is not blocked and is allowing water to flow through without obstruction. Try to drain the water in the sink. |
E4 (with display) 4 flashes of the LEDs (without display) | There is too much foam and/or water. Ensure the correct amount of detergent is being used and the detergent is designed for use in a washing machine. |
E7 (with display) 7 flashes of the LEDs (without display) | Door problem. Make sure the door is correctly closed. Make sure the clothes inside the drum are not preventing the door from closing fully. If the door is locked, turn off and unplug the washing machine from the electrical supply socket, wait 2-3 minutes and reopen the door. |
| Any other code | Turn off and unplug the washing machine, wait a minute. Turn on the machine and restart a program. If the error occurs again contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre directly |
OTHER ANOMALIES
| Problem | Possible causes and practical solutions |
| The washing machine does not work / start | Make sure the product is plugged into a working supply socket. Make sure power is on. Make sure the wall socket is working, testing it with another 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. |
| 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 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, ensure the correct amount of detergent is being used. |
| Strong vibrations / noises are heard during the spin cycle | The washing machine may not be fully levelled: 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…). |
The standard manufacturer warranty covers faults caused by electrical or mechanical faults in the product due to an act or omission of the manufacturer. If a fault is found to be caused by factors outside the product supplied, miss-use or as a result of the instructions on use not being followed, a charge may be applied.
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 fabric and does not change its colour. To remove the zeolites, select a rinse programme. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.
- foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary 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.
It is always recommended to use original spare parts, that are available at our Authorised Customer Service Centres.
