DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL

“Kg DETECTOR”

(Function active only on Cotton and Synthetics programmes) Through every wash phase “Kg DETECTOR” allows to monitor information on the wash load in the drum. So, as soon as the “Kg DETECTOR” is set in motion, in the first 4 minutes of the wash,it:

- adjusts the amount of water required

- determines the length of the wash cycle

- controls rinsing according to the type of fabric selected to be washed it:

- adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for the type of fabric being washed

- recognises the presence of lather,increasing, if necessary, the amount of water during rinsing

- adjusts the spin speed according to the load, thus avoiding any imbalance.

In this way “Kg DETECTOR” is able to decide,by itself, the most suitable programme for each individual wash from the hundreds of possible wash combinations.

“Kg DETECTOR” meets the need for easy use by permitting a simplified programme selection.In fact,the user need only tell the machine the type of fabric in the drum and the degree of soiling, to obtain a perfect wash with the highest level of drying possible with a spin which really cares for your clothes.

DOOR HANDLE

Press the finger-bar inside the door handle to open the door

PROGRAMME SELECTOR WITH OFF POSITION

WHEN THE PROGRAMME SELECTOR IS TURNED THE DISPLAY LIGHTS UP TO SHOW THE SETTINGS FOR THE PROGRAMME SELECTED. TODAY, MOST DETERGENTS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED TO WASH EFFICIENTLY AT LOWER TEMPERATURES, THEREFORE WE HAVE SET THE DEFAULT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS OF EACH PROGRAMME TO A LOWER LEVEL, SAVING ELECTRICITY AND REDUCING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF YOUR MACHINE. YOU CAN SELECT AN HIGH TEMPERATURE BY PRESSING THE TEMPERATURE BUTTON. PLEASE REFER TO THE PROGRAMME GUIDE FOR THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE TO WHICH EACH PROGRAMME CAN BE SET. N.B. TO SWITCH THE MACHINE OFF,TURN THE PROGRAMME SELECTOR TO THE “OFF” POSITION.

Press the "Start/Pause" button to start the selected cycle. The programme carries out with the programme selector

stationary on the selected programme till cycle ends.

Switch off the washing machine by turning the selector to OFF.

NOTE

THE PROGRAMME SELECTOR MUST BE RETURN TO THE OFF POSITION AT THE END OF EACH CYCLE OR WHEN STARTING A SUBSEQUENT WASH CYCLE PRIOR TO THE NEXT PROGRAMME BEING SELECTED AND STARTED.

“WASH TEMPERATURE” BUTTON

When a programme is selected the relevant indicator will light up to show the recommended wash temperature. The Temperature button can be used to decrease or increase the temperature of your chosen wash cycle. Each time the button is pressed, the new temperature level is shown on the Wash Temperature Indicator.

“SPIN SPEED” BUTTON

The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without damaging the fabrics.You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs. By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle can be cancelled. To reactivate the spin cycle is enough to press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set.

For not damage the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over that automatically suitable during the selection of the program.

It is possible to modify the spin speed in any moment, also without to pause the machine.

NOTE: THE MACHINE IS FITTED WITH A SPECIAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE, WHICH PREVENTS THE SPIN CYCLE SHOULD THE LOAD BE UNBALANCED. THIS REDUCES THE NOISE AND VIBRATION IN THE MACHINE AND SO PROLONGS THE LIFE OF YOUR MACHINE.

“DEGREE OF SOILING” BUTTON

By selecting this button (active only on COTTON and MIXED FIBRES programmes) there is a choice of 3 levels of wash intensity, depending on how much the fabrics are soiled.

Once the programme has been selected the indicator light will automatically show the minimum level required for that programme.Pressing the button increases the duration of the wash cycle,and adjusts the wash settings accordingly. For example: Using this button on the Rapid Wash cycle will enable you to select either a 14, 30 or 44 minute wash cycle.

BUTTONS INDICATOR LIGHT

These light up when the relevant buttons are pressed.

If an option is selected that is not compatible with the selected programme then the light on the button first flashes and then goes off.

The option buttons should be selected before pressing the START button

INTENSIVE BUTTON

By pressing this button a sensors system come into operation. They affect both the selected temperature, keeping it at a constant level throughout the wash cycle, and the mechanical function of the drum. The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucial moments. When the detergent enters the garments, the drum rotates in such a way that the detergent is distributed in a uniform manner; during the wash and rinse procedures, however, the speed increases in order to maximise the cleaning action.Thanks to this special system, the efficiency of the wash procedure is improved WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN THE LENGTH OF THE PROGRAM.

“AQUAPLUS” BUTTON

By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Colourfast and Mixed Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor System.This option treats with care the fibres of garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them. The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you garments which have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection.The amount of water in the wash is increased so that the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action.The amount of water is also increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy. You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothing and for delicate fabrics in general,or when washing garments made of towelling,where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash,this function is always activated on the Delicates and Woollens/Handwash programs.

“DELAY START” BUTTON

This button allows you to pre-programme the wash cycle to delay the start of the cycle for up to 24 hours. To delay the start use the following procedure: Set the required programme. Press the button once to activate it (h00 appears on the display) and then press it again to set a 1 hour delay (h01 appears on the display); the pre-set delay increases by 1 hour each time the button is pressed, until h24 appears on the display, at which point pressing the button again will reset the delay start to zero.

Confirm by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button (the light on the display starts to flash). The countdown will begin and when it has finished the programme will start automatically.

It is possible to cancel the delay start by taking the following action: Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the display will show the settings for the programme selected. At this stage it is possible to start the programme previously selected by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button or to cancel the process by setting the selector to the OFF position and then selecting another programme.

DRYING PROGRAMME SELECTION BUTTON

With the programme selector not in the OFF position,press the button to select the required drying programme; an indicator will light to display the drying result selected each time you press the button. To cancel the selection before the start of a drying programme, press the button repeatedly until the indicators go out or return the programme selector to the OFF position. To cancel the cycle during the drying phase, hold the button down for 2 seconds until the cooling indicator lights up; given the high temperature inside the drum, we recommend that you allow the dryer to complete the cool down period before returning the programme selector to the OFF position and removing the laundry.

NOTE:

Do not dry unwashed items in the washer dryer. Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,petrol, kerosene,spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the washer dryer.

Items such as foam rubber (latex foam),shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the washer dryer.

Fabric softeners, or similar products,should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.

The final part of a washer dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

WARNING: Never stop a washer dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

START BUTTON

Press to start the selected cycle.

NOTE: FEW SECONDS AFTER THE START THE WASH CYCLE WILL BEGIN. DURING THE FIRST 4 MINUTES OF THE WASH CYCLE, THE KG DETECTOR (ACTIVE ONLY ON COTTON AND SYNTHETICS PROGRAMMES) WILL WEIGH THE CLOTHES AND UPDATE THE MAXIMUM WASH TIME REMAINING ON THE DISPLAY EVERY FIVE SECONDS UNTIL THE WEIGHT HAS BEEN DETERMINED. WHILE THIS FUNCTION IS OPERATING THE “Kg DETECTOR” INDICATOR IS ON.

CHANGING THE SETTINGS AFTER THE PROGRAMMES HAS STARTED (PAUSE)

Press and hold the “START/PAUSE”button for about 2 seconds, the flashing lights on the options buttons and time remaining indicator will show that the machine has been paused,adjust as required and press the “START/PAUSE”button again to cancel the flashing lights.

If you wish to add or remove items during washing, wait 2 minutes until the safety device unlocks the door. When you have carried out the manoeuvre,close the door, press START button and the appliance will continue working where it left off.

CANCELLING THE PROGRAMME

To cancel the programme,set the selector to the OFF position. Select a different programme. Re-set the programme selector to the OFF position.

DOOR LOCKED INDICATOR

The “Door Locked” indicator light is illuminated when the door is fully closed and the machine is ON. When START is pressed on the machine with the door closed the indicator will flash momentarily and then illuminate.

If the door is not closed the indicator will continue to flash.

A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately after the end of the cycle.Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the Door Locked light has gone out before opening the door. At the end of cycle turn the programme selector to OFF .

“DIGITAL” DISPLAY

The display’s indicator system allows you to be constantly informed about the status of the machine:

1) WASH TEMPERATURE When a programme is selected the relevant indicator will light up to show the recommended wash temperature.The Temperature button can be used to decrease or increase the temperature of your chosen wash cycle. Each time the button is pressed, the new temperature level is shown on the Wash Temperature Indicator.

2) DOOR LIGHT Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed the light first flashes then stops flashing and remains on until the end of the wash. 2 minutes after the end of the wash the light goes off to show that the door can now be opened.

3) SPIN SPEED Once the programme has been selected,the maximum spin speed allowed for that programme appears on the display. Pressing the spin button will reduce the speed by 100 rpm each time the button is pressed. The minimum speed allowed is 400 rpm, or it is possible to omit the spin by pressing the spin button repeatedly.

CHAPTER 8

SELECTION

For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bands according to: wash cycle,temperature and lenght of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes).

RESISTANTS FABRICS

The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the rinses, with spin intervals,ensure perfect rinsing. The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.

MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS

The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels. A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.

SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES

This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results.

WOOLMARK PROGRAMME

The special cycle, enables to thoroughly wash garments without damaging them. The cycle comprises of alternate periods of activity and pauses with a maximum temperature of 40°C and concludes with 3 rinses and a short spin.

SPECIAL “HAND WASH”

This washing machine also has a gentle Hand Wash programme cycle.This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as “Hand Wash only” on the fabric care label. The programme has a temperature of 30°C and concludes with 3 rinses and a slow spin.

SPECIAL “RINSE” PROGRAMME

This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the correct button). It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing.

SPECIAL “FAST SPIN” PROGRAMME

Programme “FAST SPIN” carries out a maximum spin (which can be reduced by using the correct button).

DRAIN ONLY

This programme drains out the water.

“MIX & WASH SYSTEM” PROGRAMME

This is an exclusive Candy system and involves 2 great advantages for the consumer:

• to be able to wash together different type of fabrics (e.g.

cotton + synthetic etc…) FAST COLOUREDS;

•to wash with a considerable energy saving.

The "Mix & Wash" programme has a temperature of 40°C and alternate dynamic phases (the basket that turns) to static phases (fabrics in soak in phase of rest) with a duration programme that almost reaching the 2 hours. The energy consumption for the complete cycle is only 850 W/h.

Important:

•the first washing of new coloureds fabrics must be done separately;

• in every case, never mix NON-FAST COLOUREDS fabrics.

RAPID PROGRAMME

The Rapid programme allows a washing cycle to be completed in just 14 minutes! This programme is particularly suited to slightly dirty cottons and mixed fabrics. Using the Degree of soiling button on the Rapid cycle will enable you to select either a 14, 30 or 44 minute wash cycle. When selecting the rapid programme,please note that we recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack. For information about these programmes please refer to the programmes table.

“SHIRTS” PROGRAMME

This programme allows a complete washing cycle for shirts. The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels. The programme has a maximum temperature of 40°C and concludes with 3 rinses and a short spin.

SYNTHETICS DRYING

Mixed fabrics (synthetics/cotton), synthetic fabrics.

COTTON DRYING

Cotton, terry towelling, linen, hemp fabrics, etc...

RAPID 59’

A complete express washing and drying cycle lasting only 59'.This is an ideal program for having dry, refreshed and ready-to-wear clothes as soon as the cycle is finished.

- Maximum load: 1,5 kg (4 shirts for example)

- Lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics)

With this program we recommend that you reduce the detergent loading dose (compared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste.

CHAPTER 9

DETERGENT DRAWER

The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments:

- the compartment labelled "1" is for prewash detergent;

- the compartment

labelled “✿✿” is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc;

- the compartment labelled "2" is for main wash detergent.

NOTE: SOME DETERGENTS ARE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. FOR THESE, WE RECOMMEND YOU USE THE SPECIAL DISPENSER WHICH IS PLACED IN THE DRUM.

NOTE: ONLY PUT LIQUID PRODUCTS IN THE COMPARTMENT

LABELLED “ AUTOMATICALLY TAKE UP ADDITIVES DURING THE FINAL RINSE STAGE FOR ALL WASH CYCLES.

CHAPTER 10

THE PRODUCT

IMPORTANT:

When washing heavy rugs, bed spreads and other heavy articles, it is advisable not to spin.

To be machine-washed,woollen garments and other articles in wool must bear the “Machine Washable Label”.

IMPORTANT: When sorting articles ensure that:

- there are no metal objects in the washing (e.g.brooches, safety pins, pins, coins etc.).

- cushion covers are buttoned,zips and hooks are closed, loose belts and long tapes on dressing gowns are knotted.

- runners from curtains are removed.

- attention is paid to garment labels.

- when sorting, any tough stains should be removed prior to washing using stain removers only recommended on label.

CHAPTER 11

CUSTOMER AWARENESS

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.

BEFORE USING A DRYING PROGRAMME...

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

WASHING

VARIABLE CAPACITY

This washing machine automatically adapts the level of the water to the type and quantity of washing.In this way it is also possible to obtain a “personalized” wash from an energy saving point of view. This system gives a decrease in energy consumption and a sensible reduction in washing times.

EXAMPLE:

A net bag should be used for particularly delicate fabrics.

Let us suppose that the washing consists of HEAVILY SOILED COTTON (tough stains should be removed with suitable stain removal).

It is advisable not to wash a load made up entirely of articles in towelling fabric which absorb a lot of water and become too heavy.

● Open the detergent drawer (P).

● Put 120 g in the main wash compartment marked 2.

● Put 50 ml of the desired additive in the additives

compartment

● Close the detergent drawer (P).

● Ensure that the water inlet tap is turned on.

● And that the discharge tube is in place.

PROGRAMME SELECTION

DRYING

DON’T DRY GARMENTS MADE FROM FOAM RUBBER OR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.

IMPORTANT: THIS DRYER CAN ONLY BE USED FOR LAUNDRY WHICH HAS BEEN WASHED AND SPIN DRIED.

WARNING:

Indications given are general,therefore some practice is needed for the best drying results. We recommend setting a lower drying time than indicated, when first using, so as to establish the degree of dryness required. We recommend not to dry fabrics that fray easily, such as rugs or garments with a deep pile, to avoid air duct clogging. The water is then conveyed to the drain circuit,wich is sealed and therefore,no steam can be released outside.

IMPORTANT NEVER OPEN THE DOOR AFTER THE DRYING CYCLE HAS BEGUN - WAIT UNTIL THE COOL DOWN PERIOD PROVIDED FOR BY THE CYCLE.

Only dry pre-spun laundry

The washer/dryer can perform two types of drying:

1 Cotton, terry towelling, linen, hemp fabrics, etc...

Advisory note During drying phase the drum will accelerate to a higher speed to distribute the load and to optimize the drying performance

2 Mixed fabrics (synthetics/cotton), synthetic fabrics.

DRYING CYCLE

CHAPTER 14

CLEANING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Do not use abrasives, spirits and/or diluents on the exterior of the appliance. It is sufficient to use a damp cloth.

The washing machine requires very little maintenance:

● Cleaning of drawer compartments.

● Filter cleaning

● Removals or long periods when the machine is left

standing.

CLEANING OF DRAWER COMPARTMENTS

Although not strictly necessary,it is advisable to clean the detergent, bleach and additives compartments occasionally.

Remove the compartments by pulling gently.

Clean with water.

Put the compartments back into place

FILTER CLEANING

The washing-machine is equipped with a special filter to retain large foreign matter which could clog up the drain, such as coins, buttons, etc.These can, therefore, easily be recovered.The procedures for cleaning the filter are as follows:

● Open the flap

● Only available on certain models:

Pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain the water into a container.

● Before removing the filter, place an absorbent towel below the filter cap to collect the small amount of water likely to be inside the pump

● Turn the filter anticlockwise till it stops in vertical position.

● Remove and clean.

● After cleaning, replace by turning the notch on the end of

the filter clockwise.Then follow all procedures described above in reverse order.

REMOVALS OR LONG PERIODS WHEN THE MACHINE IS LEFT STANDING

For eventual removals or when the machine is left standing for long periods in unheated rooms, the drain hose should be emptied of all remaining water.

The appliance must be switched off and unplugged.A bowl is needed. Detach the drainage hose from the clamp and lower it over the bowl until all the water is removed.

Repeat the same operation with the water inlet hose.

REMEDY

Advisory note During drying phase the drum will accelerate to a higher speed to distribute the load and to optimize the drying performance

If the fault should persist, contact a Candy Technical Assistance Centre.For prompt servicing, give the model of the washing machine,to be found on the label placed on the cabinet inside of the porthole or on the guarantee certificate.

Important 1The use of environment friendly detersives without phosphates may produce the following

effects:

- The discharge rinse water may result cloudier due to the presence of zeolites in suspension.

This does not compromise the efficiency of the rinses.

- The presence of white powder (zeolites) on the washing at the end of the washing cycle.This

does not remain incorporated in the fabric and does not alter the colour.

- The presence of foam in the last rinse water which is not necessarily a sign of inadequate

rinsing.

- The non-ionic surface-active agents present in the composition of washing machine

detersives are often difficult to remove from the washing itself and, even in small quantities, may produce visible signs of the formation of foam.

- Carrying out further rinses, in cases such as this, is not useful.

2 If your washing machine fails to function,carry out the above-mentioned checks before calling

the Candy Technical Assistance Service.
