INSTALLATION

• Release the power chord and drain hose from the securing clip at the rear of the machine.
• Remove the 2 or 4 transportation screws (A) on the back and remove the 2 or 4 flat washers, rubber bungs and plastic spacer tubes (B) as illustrated in figure 1.
• If the washing machine is built-in, unscrew the 3 or 4 transportation screws (A) and remove the 3 or 4 flat washers, rubber bungs and plastic spacer tubes (B).
• During the removal of the screws occasionally spacer tubes fall inside the product, these can be remove by tilting the product forward and recovering them from the floor or inside the base of the machine.
• Cover the open transportation screw holes with the 2 or 4 plastic caps included in the instruction bag.

WARNING: keep packaging materials away from children.

Place the corrugated plastic sheet, found on top of the appliance during the unpacking process, into the base of the appliance as shown in figure 2 (according to the model, consider version A, B or C).

Instructions for mounting the furniture door

Position the template onto the reverse of the furniture door. It is possible to mount the hinges and closure magnet on the right or left-hand side depending on your requirements. Mark the screw hole positions, then drill out these positions.

Fix the hinges in place with the 4 screws provided (A).

Fix the magnet (B) in place using screw (C).

Mount the plate (D) on the right or left-hand side, depending on your installation requirements. Place the plastic support (E) under the plate and fix it in position with screw (F).

Snap mount cap (G) in the lower position. A D E G F B C Instructions for mounting the furniture door 8

Mount the furniture door to the front of the washer using the hinges. Place the spacers under the hinges (I) and then fix in position with screw (H).

We suggest mounting the furniture door so that it opens towards the left, which is the same direction as the porthole door. This will leave more space when you are loading washing into the appliance.

Slide the washer into an opening of the size indicated in the diagram opposite. A furniture plinth may be run across the front of the appliance, but its height will be dictated by the height the washer is set at.

The 4 adjustable feet allow the height of the washer to be adjusted from 820 mm to a maximum of 840 mm. To adjust the height, you should remove the nuts fitted to each foot and replace these with the 5 mm nuts supplied. Raise the feet to your desired height and then fully tighten the lock nut to the base of the washer.

Hydraulic connections

Connect the water hose to the water supply tap (fig. 3) only using the hose supplied with the appliance (do not reuse old hose-sets).

Some models may include one or more of the following features:

HOT&COLD (fig. 4): water mains connection settings with hot and cold water for higher energy savings. Connect the grey tube to the cold water tap and the red one to the hot water tap. The machine can be connected to the cold water tap only: in this case, some programs may start a few minutes later.

AQUASTOP (fig. 5): a device located on the supply tube that stops water flow if the tube deteriorates; in this case, a red mark will appear in the window “A” and the tube must be replaced. To unscrew the nut, press the one-way lock device "B".

AQUAPROTECT – SUPPLY TUBE WITH GUARD (fig. 6): Should water leak from the primary internal tube "A", the transparent containment sheath "B" will contain water to permit the washing cycle to complete. At the end of the cycle, contact the Customer Service Centre to replace the supply tube

Setting

The washing machine should be installed in its final position such that the water fill hose is not kinked or trapped. The corrugated drain hose should be inserted into suitable drain pipe of between 50 cm and 85 cm height above the floor using the curved drain hose support. If an under sink connection is used the drain hose must be routed above the sink overfill opening to prevent back siphoning. Care must be taken to avoid kinking or trapping the drain hose (fig. 7).

Level the appliance using the feet as illustrated in figure 8:

1. turn the nut clockwise to release the screw;
2. rotate the foot to raise or lower it until it touches to the floor;
3. lock the foot, screwing in the nut, until it tightens against to the bottom of the washing machine

Plug in the appliance.

WARNING: contact the Customer Service Centre should the power cord need replacement.

Detergent drawer

The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments as illustrated in figure 9:

• compartment "1": for prewash detergent;
• compartment “ ”: for special additives, softeners, starch fragrances, etc.;

WARNING:only use liquid products; the washing machine is set to automatically dose additives at each cycle during the last rinse.

compartment "2": for washing detergent.

A liquid detergent cup is also included IN SOME MODELS (fig. 10). To use it, place it in compartment "2". This way, liquid detergent will only enter the drum at the right time. The cup can also be used for bleach when the “Rinse” program is selected.

WARNING:

some detergents are not designed for use in the dispenser drawer but are supplied with their own dispenser that is placed in the drum directly.

installation faults are not covered by the manufacturers warranty.

PRACTICAL TIPS

Load tips

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:

- have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;

- to have buttoned pillow cases, 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 and marked by the “Pure virgin wool” symbol with the “Does not mat” or “Machine washable” label.

Helpful suggestions for the user

A guide environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

Maximise 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 programme. Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, always read the instructions on the detergent for correct use and doses.

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 colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured 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.

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.

The manufacturers warranty only covers faults within the product of a mechanical or electrical nature. Faults caused by handling, installation or miss use are not covered and may incur a charge for any repair visit to resolve.

QUICK USER GUIDE

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 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).

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.
