DRAIN HOSE : FITTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TANK IN DOOR DRAWER

To avoid emptying the water container after each drying cycle, the water can be discharged directly to a waste water drain pipe (the same drainage system as household sinks). Water Bye-Laws prohibit connection to a surface water drain. The waste water drain pipe should be located adjacent to the tumble dryer.

The kit consists of:1 hose and 1 tap.

WARNING water kit is suitable only on models with the water tank on the door tumble dryer plug from the electricity supply before carrying out any work.

Fit the Hose as Follows:

1.Tilt the machine backwards.

2. The waste water pipe is situated at the right-hand side of the machine (see the picture). A grey hose connects to the bridge at the left hand side of the machine. Using pliers, remove the pipe retaining clip from the bridge.

3. Pull the hose off the bridge connection.

4. Attach the black hose from the kit, (using the connector and pipe clips supplied), to the hose removed from the bridge connection.

5 . Place the tap supplied by the kit to close the remaing hose. Connect the new drain hose to the waste black water pipe.

6. Once the machine is in place, check the bottom to ensure that the new hose does not kink when pushing the tumble dryer into position. Connect to the mains electricity supply.

NOTE: The direct drain condensed water kit is suitable only on models with the water tank on the door.

PREPARING THE LOAD

Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:

●Please read this instruction book thoroughly.

● Remove all items packed inside drum.

● Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in transit.

Clothes Preparation

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the care symbols on each item. Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they don't get tangled.

Do Not Tumble Dry:

Silk, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with PVC or leather trimmings.

IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).

During the last 15 minutes the load is always tumbled in cool air.

Energy Saving

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity.

ALWAYS Check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle.

NEVER Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance.

Sort the Load as Follows

By care symbols

These can be found on the collar or inside seam:

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble drying at high temperature.

Tumble drying at low temperature only.

Do not tumble dry

If the item does not have a care label it must be assumed that it is not suitable for tumble drying.

By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer capacity, separate clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen.

Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamid, as well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.

Do not overload the drum, large items when wet exceed the maximum admissible clothes load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).

CLEANING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

SMART TOUCH

This appliance is equipped with Smart Touch technology that allows you to interact, via the App, with smartphones based on Android operating system and equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) function.

Download on your smartphone the Candy simply-FiApp.

FUNCTIONS

The main functions available using the App are:

Voice Coach – Aguide to help you choose the ideal cycle with only three voice inputs (clothes/fabrics, colour, drying level).
Programmes – To download and launch new drying programmes.
Clever Care – Clever Check-up and Auto - Hygiene cycles and a troubleshooting guide.
Reports – Drying statistics and tips for a more efficient use of your machine.

HOW TO USE SMART TOUCH

FIRST TIME - Machine registration

Enter the "Settings" menu of your Android smartphone and activate the NFC function inside the "Wireless & Networks" menu.

Turn the knob to the Smart Touch position to enable the sensor on the dashboard.
Open the App, create the user profile and register the appliance following the instructions on the phone display or the "Quick Guide" attached on the machine.

NEXT TIME – Regular usage

Every time you want to manage the machine through the App, first you have to enable the Smart Touch mode by turning the knob to the Smart Touch indicator.
Make sure you have unlocked your phone (from stand-by mode) and you have activated the NFC function; then, follow the steps mentioned earlier.
If you want to start a dry cycle, load the laundry and close the door.
Select the desired function in the App (e.g.: starting a programme, the Clever Checkup cycle, update statistics, etc…).
Follow the instructions on the phone display, KEEPING IT ON the Smart Touch logo on the machine dashboard, when requested to do so by the App.

NOTES:

Place your smartphone so that the NFC antenna on its back matches the position of the Smart Touch logo on the appliance (as illustrated below).

If you do not know the position of your NFC antenna, slightly move the smartphone in a circular motion over the Smart Touch logo until the App confirms the connection. In order for the data transfer to be successful, it is essential TO KEEP THE SMARTPHONE ON THE DASHBOARD DURING THESE FEW SECONDS OF THE PROCEDURE; a message on the device will inform about the correct outcome of the operation and advise you when it is possible to move the smartphone away.
Thick cases or metallic stickers on your smartphone could affect or prevent the transmission of data between machine and telephone. If necessary, remove them.
The replacement of some components of the smartphone (e.g. back cover, battery, etc...) with non-original ones, could result in the NFC antenna removal, preventing the full use of the App.
The management and the control of the machine via App is only possible "by proximity": it is therefore not possible to perform remote operations (e.g.: from another room; outside of the house).
