3. PRACTICAL TIPS

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:

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

- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;

- to have removed rollers 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 centrifuging.

! 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.

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.

Load tips

Helpful suggestions for the user

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.

4. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents. The washing machine does not require any special care for ordinary cleaning: clean drawer compartments and the filter; some tips on how to move the machine or on long periods of disuse are provided below.

! 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.

! 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.

! Before unscrewing the filter, we

recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry.

! Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the

limit stop in the vertical position.

! Remove and clean the filter; when

finished, replace it turning it clockwise.

! Repeat the previous steps in reverse

order to reassemble all parts.

! 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 strap and lower

it, fully draining water into a bowl.

! Secure the drain tube with the strap when

finished.

** STANDARD COTTON PROGRAMMES ACCORDING TO (EU) No 1015/2010 and No 1061/2010.

COTTON PROGRAMME WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 60°C.

COTTON PROGRAMME WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 40°C.

These programmes are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry. These programmes have been developed to be compliant with the temperature on the wash label on the garments and the actual water temperature may slightly differ from the declared temperature of the cycle.

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).

Rapid

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.

Mix & Wash

The program allow you to mix different fabrics (ex: cotton + synthetic, etc. ..) and wash them with low energy consumption, because the temperature in the wash step does not exceed 40°C.

Whites

Made to have a perfect washing. The final spin at maximum speed gives more efficient removal.

Mixed

The washing and rinsing are optimized in the rhythms of rotation of the drum and to the water levels. The gentle spin, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabric.

Jeans

This program has been designed to have the highest quality cleaning of fabrics such as jeans resistant: ideal for removing dirt without affecting the elasticity of the fibers.

Baby

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.

Hygiene

Program for durable fabrics, it allows you to sanitize the laundry. We recommend the use of powder detergents to increase the effectiveness of sanitizing.

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 SELECTION button.

Silk

Dedicated program for silk fabrics that can be wash with a washing machine washable. The rotations of the drum are delicate, the temperature does not exceed 30°C and the program ends with a gentle spin.

Hand

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

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.

Delicates

This program alternates among moments of work during breaks and is particularly suitable for washing delicate fabrics . The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a high level of water to ensure the best performance.

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 40°C - 60°C

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.

7. CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE AND WARRANTY

If you believe the washing machine is not working correctly, consult the quick guide provided below with some practical tips on how to fix the most common problems.

Problem

Possible causes and practical solutions

The washing machine does not work/start

Make sure it is correctly plugged in.

Make sure power is on.

Check whether the required program was correctly selected and to have correctly started the machine.

Make sure the fuse has not blown and that the wall socket is working, testing it with another appliance such as a lamp.

The porthole may not be correctly closed: open and close it again.

The washing machine does not fill with water

Make sure the water faucet is open.

Make sure the timer is correct set.

The washing machine does not drain water

Make sure the filter is not clogged.

Make sure the drain hose is not bent.

Make sure there are no foreign objects in the filter.

Water leaked on the floor near the washing machine

This may be due to a leak in the gasket between the faucet and supply tube; in this case, replace it and tighten the tube and faucet.

The washing machine does not centrifuge

This could be due to the fact that water has not been completely drained: wait a few minutes. Some models include a "no centrifuge" function: make sure it is not on.

An excessive amount of detergent could prevent centrifuge: reduce the amount at the next wash.

Strong vibrations are heard during centrifuge

The washing machine may not be fully levelled: if necessary, adjust the feet as indicated in the specific section.

Make sure transport brackets were removed.

Make sure the load is evenly distributed.

If a specific ERROR appears of blinks

If error no. 0, 1, 5, 7 or 8 appears or blinks, contact the Customer Service Centre directly.

If error no. 2 appears or blinks, the machine does not load water. Make sure the water faucet is open.

If error no. 3 appears or blinks, the machine does not correctly drain. Make sure the drain is free and that the drain hose is not bent.

If error no. 4 appears or blinks, the machine is too full. Close the water faucet and contact the Customer Service Centre.

If error no. 9 appears or blinks, turn off the washing machine, wait 10 – 15 seconds and restart the program.

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.

- foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing.

- 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.

If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact the Candy Customer Service Centre.

You can also register for the Candy service plan to receive free home service after the warranty expires.

Cómo usar su lavadora de forma respetuosa con el medio ambiente y con el máximo ahorro.

Cargar al máximo la lavadora

! Para ahorrar energía, detergente y tiempo,

se recomienda cargar al máximo la lavadora. Es posible ahorrar hasta un 50% de energía con una única colada de carga llena, en lugar de dos coladas a media carga.

¿Cuándo es necesario el prelavado?

! ¡Sólo cuando las prendas están muy

sucias! Cuando la ropa tiene una suciedad normal, es posible ahorrar entre un 5% y un 15% de energía si no se utiliza la función de prelavado.

¿Qué temperatura de lavado se debe seleccionar?

! Si se emplea un quitamanchas o se

sumergen las prendas manchadas antes de lavarlas en la lavadora, se reduce la necesidad de seleccionar un programa de lavado de alta temperatura. Seleccionando el programa de lavado a 60ºC se puede ahorrar hasta un 50% de energía.

A continuación se proporciona una guía rápida con consejos y recomendaciones sobre el uso de detergente a distintas temperaturas. Se recomienda leer siempre las instrucciones de cada detergente para utilizarlo correctamente y en las cantidades adecuadas.

Consejos para colocar la ropa en la lavadora

Sugerencias útiles para el usuario

Para lavar ropa blanca muy sucia y obtener excelentes resultados, emplear programas para algodón con temperaturas de 60°C o superiores y

un detergente en polvo normal con agentes blanqueadores.

Para temperaturas de lavado de 40°C a 60°C, se debe elegir un detergente

apropiado para el tipo de género y el nivel de suciedad. Los detergentes en polvo normales dan excelentes resultados en el lavado de ropa muy sucia "blanca" o de colores resistentes, mientras que los detergentes en polvo para prendas de color son recomendables para el lavado de ropa de color con bajo nivel de suciedad.

Para temperaturas de lavado inferiores a 40°C, se recomienda emplear

detergentes líquidos o adecuados para el lavado a bajas temperaturas.

Para el lavado de prendas de lana o seda, emplear sólo detergentes formulados especialmente para ese tipo de géneros.
