• To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed. Check the fabric 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.

Programmes selection

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 programmes).

Whites

An intensive wash. The final spin at maximum speed gives more efficient removal.

Cotton + Prewash

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

EcoMix 20°

This innovative programme, allows you to wash different fabrics and colours together, such as cottons, 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. cottons wash.

Cottons

This program is suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and it is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry.

Synthetics

The washing and rinsing optimise the speed and rhythm of the drum action and water levels. The gentle spin, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabric.

Daily 59 Min.

This specially designed programme maintains the high quality wash performance whilst greatly reducing the wash time. The programme is designed for a reduced load (see table of programmes).

Rapid (14/30/44 Min.)

Washing cycle suggested for low loads and slightly dirty. With this program it is recommended to reduce the quantity of detergent normally used, in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Selecting the RAPID program and acting on the button you can choose one of three programs available.

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 with the SPIN SPEED button.

Delicates

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

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.

Baby Care

This program allows you to wash all baby clothes getting a perfect clean and sanitizing effect, setting the temperature at 60°C minimum. To optimize the result of the sanitizing effect we recommend the use of powder detergent.

Wool

This program performs a wash cycle dedicated to the wool fabrics that can be washed in a washing machine, or the articles to be washed by hand.

Hand Wash

Program for hand wash only clothes, the program ends with 3 rinses and a slow spin.

Smart Touch

Customizable setting of the knob that you have to select when you would like to transfer a 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.

THROUBLESHOOTING

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.
