Simple instructions on how to turn on the Candy washing machine

Equipped with many functions that provide high-quality care for clothes, home textiles, toys, shoes, the Candy washing machine is as easy as possible to operate.
It is enough to carefully study the basic rules for preparing and starting the operating cycle once, so that in the future you will never encounter difficulties in operating this household appliance.

We'll tell you how to turn on the Candy washing machine below.

Descriptions and designations of washing modes in a Kandy machine: program table

Usually the instruction manual explains all the symbols on the control panel of the Kandy machine.
If the user manual is lost and the program names are in a foreign language, difficulties arise when selecting modes. We offer detailed descriptions of common modes characteristic of many SM Kandy models.

*This and the following tables are approximate durations. For the exact time, see the instructions for your Candy model.

In other models of Kandy washing machines, the programs are not much different, but there are exclusive functions only for a certain line of washing machines. Let's look at these modes by going through the popular models of this brand.

Only for cotton and synthetics!

CANDY AQUAMATIC 80 F

Express wash. The entire wash, rinse and spin cycle takes less than an hour. You can load a maximum of 2 kg of laundry.

CANDY C2 085

CANDY CDB 134 SY

Also, in Kandy machines, the choice of programs is based on the type of fabric. The designations for all models are the same, as in the figure below

In the CANDY HOLIDAY 084 DF model, the “Wool” button is indicated by the following icon:

Kandy sign system

Many buyers are often attracted by the external picture - the design of the device. The “façade” is especially important. This is where the panel with buttons and switches, with a display and symbols is located. Equally important is the form in which programs and modes are presented. These can be inscriptions, icons, or a combination of both.

It is recommended to read the descriptions of the programs, and if they are presented in the form of symbols, decipher their meanings. Difficulties may arise if the inscriptions are made in a foreign language and there are no instructions in Russian. The language of signs is universal, it is understood by representatives of all nationalities. But not all symbols used by manufacturers are clear at first glance. Kandy also has obscure signs that require deciphering. Let's figure out what modes the Candy washing machine offers and how they are designated.

Near the selector there are not only icons, but also temperature indications in degrees. Each temperature is intended for a specific type of product: durable, delicate, white, colored, etc.

In the Kandy washing machine, the mode is selected according to the type of fabric. All models use the same icons.

Starting and ending the wash

Before using new equipment for the first time after purchase and delivery, you need to make sure that it is installed correctly. We are talking about transportation bolts and protective elements that must be removed. In addition, you need to check the connection of the water supply and drainage hoses, and whether the plug of the machine is plugged into the socket. Although these actions seem obvious, practice shows that they are sometimes forgotten

To prevent the newly acquired Candy from making too much noise and swaying when spinning, it is important to align the legs so that it stands level. In addition, before starting operation, you should familiarize yourself with the safety regulations.

Preparing the washing machine before first use involves cleaning it. If there is no special program for this, run the mode for durable fabrics at maximum temperature and additional rinsing. Naturally, the machine is run without laundry, but with detergent. The start of work begins by pressing the “Start” key.

After this, the electronic display will show the weight of the loaded laundry, the water temperature and the time remaining until the end of the washing process. If the corresponding key is available, the start can be delayed for up to 23 hours. The machine will not start working until this time has elapsed.

At the end of the wash, the door remains locked for a while, after which the laundry can be removed. In accordance with the user manual, the machine should be disconnected from electricity and the water supply valve should be turned off. After each wash cycle, the drum should be inspected, as foreign objects may remain in it (forgotten metal buckles or rivets can lead to the formation of rust).

In the next video you will find a review and instructions for the Candy EVOGT 13072D washing machine.

How to load laundry?

Before starting, the laundry intended for washing must be sorted not only by color, but also by type of fabric, since most of them have their own program. However, the washing machine cannot always be loaded to the maximum. Even if it is designed for 5 kg, items made of delicate and woolen fabrics can be loaded no more than 1-2 kg. Smart models weigh their laundry themselves and report the overweight. Otherwise, the approximate weight can be determined from tables or, as they say, “by eye.” Moreover, we are talking about dry underwear, since wet underwear weighs much more.

After loading, there should be enough space in the drum for the machine to work efficiently and for the items to stretch well and not look too wrinkled. In the case of cotton, no more than two-thirds should be filled; if we are talking about a more capricious material, then only half.

When sorting laundry, there are several points to consider:

• study the information on the item’s label, if there is one (in addition to the composition, it is necessary to clarify whether machine washing is acceptable, the water temperature, the possibility of spinning);
• check pockets and cavities for foreign objects;
• remove removable parts;
• sew up holes, sew on buttons that don’t hold well, fasten zippers;
• turn clothes and bedding inside out;
• pre-treat heavy dirt and difficult stains.

During loading, things must be laid out not chaotically, but unfolded. Heavy items of clothing that are twisted into a ball can upset the balance and place too much stress on the drum. And this, in turn, will increase vibration, noise and reduce the service life of the equipment. It is better to put small items in a mesh bag. In order to save energy and detergents, you should not run the machine with an incomplete load. Lightly soiled laundry can be washed on a shorter program and at a lower temperature.

In Candy Activa Smart and similar ones, forgotten things can be added after launch. To do this, you need to press the start button, wait for the door to unlock and add what is needed. In the same way, you can remove those things that ended up in the drum by mistake and were noticed in time.

After all the manipulations, washing will begin from the moment from which it was interrupted. For obvious reasons, it is better to do this at the very beginning.

Final recommendations for using Kandy washing machines

Washing machines from the Italian manufacturer Candy are distinguished by their versatility, functionality, ease of operation and a wide range of models along with their low price.

The main modes are supplemented by many additional ones, which allows you to wash children's clothes, products for allergy sufferers, delicate fabrics, work in intensive mode and refresh things in half an hour. The mechanism also allows you to delay the start or wash together items that differ in their composition and characteristics.

The manufacturer took care of its customers and provided them with the opportunity to quickly determine the causes of problems using codes displayed on the display. Their decoding is included in each instruction manual for the device.

The most common causes of breakdowns in Candy washing machines are non-compliance with the operating rules of the unit, frequent failures in the power supply from the network, or initial incorrect installation of the machine.

Solving the problem: what can be done on your own?

First, you should inspect the condition of those nodes that are most accessible and do not require special knowledge and tools. If the Kandy washing machine does not react in any way to pressing the power button - neither with a sound signal nor with the indicators lighting up, you should make sure that electricity is supplied to the device at all.

To do this you need:

1. Check the availability of electricity in the apartment.
2. Inspect the outlet. You can check its serviceability by connecting another device to it, for example, a table lamp.
3. Inspect the plug and electrical cord of the washing machine. If there is visible damage (gnawed by pets, scorch marks, etc.), these units should be replaced.

If no visual defects are detected, you will have to proceed to a more thorough inspection of the equipment.

In this case, you should make sure that there is no error code on the display of the Kandy washing machine. If there is a code, then decoding it will help you figure out what exactly the problem is with your washing equipment.

Errors and how to resolve them

The most common error codes and ways to eliminate them:

1. 1, E1, E01 – problems with blocking the hatch. You need to try to close the door more tightly, if this does not help, the UBL needs to be repaired.
2. 2, E2, E02 – problems with water intake: there is not enough of it, or too much. It is necessary to check the supply valve, pressure switch and contacts leading to these parts.
3. 3, E3, E03 – water does not drain. You need to check the drain hose, filter and pump; perhaps a blockage has formed in one of the areas.
4. 4, E4, E04 – there is too much water in the tank. The pressure switch, water supply valve or control module is faulty.
5. 5, E5, E05 – problems with water heating. The temperature sensor or heating element may be damaged.
6. 6, E6, E06 – malfunctions in the operation of the control board. Most often, the reason lies in its failure; the machine needs to be rebooted or a part needs to be replaced.
7. 7, E7, E07 – the motor has failed. It is being repaired or replaced.
8. 8, E8, E08 – tachogenerator failure, part replacement required.
9. 9, E9, E09 – the motor does not receive power. Most often the starter fails.
10. 10, E10 – program selector failure. You can try to clean it, or restart the machine. If this does not help, the part is changed.
11. 11, E11 – failure of the drying heating element.
12. 12, E12 – failure of the heating element temperature sensor. It cannot be repaired, it needs to be replaced.
13. 13, E13 – failure of the control module. If you cannot solve the problem by rebooting, the board needs to be reflashed or replaced.

Features of caring for a household appliance

Caring for your Kandy washing machine is easy. It is enough to follow a few recommendations:

• After each wash, it is necessary to remove any remaining water from the cuff;
• periodically you need to clean the rubber of the hatch - this is done with a soft cloth and soap solution; if there are signs of mold on the cuff, it is treated with vinegar;
• wash the powder tray - to perform the procedure, it must be removed by pressing on a small tab; if the powder receptacle is very dirty, it is soaked for 20 minutes in warm water with the addition of soda;
• clean the drain filter - small debris and hair accumulate in it; to clean the part, you need to unscrew it and rinse it under running water.

After the cycle is completed

After completing the wash, you must wait for the sound signal to indicate its completion . When the lock indicator on the display stops lighting, the hatch door can be opened. Then turn off the device by pressing the power button and remove the cord from the outlet.

Things need to be taken out immediately, without allowing them to remain in the drum for a long time. Otherwise, fungi will begin to multiply in a humid environment, and the device will smell unpleasant. It is not recommended to close the door tightly after washing; you need to let the remaining water evaporate.

Main features of Candy washing machines

Candy washing machines are of Italian origin. They began production in 1945. Their development was so rapid that already at the end of the last century the brand was popular both in Europe and far beyond its borders. The main advantages of the units are their low price, along with an impressive range of models and positive technical characteristics. There are vertical machines that can hold up to 7 kg of things, there are compact ones, with a height of no more than 70 cm, and there are full-size ones - with a maximum number of modes and large capacity.

These washing machines are easy to operate, offer a wide range of options and do not consume a lot of water and electricity.

Repair of washing machines with their hands

Preparing for washing

Before you start washing, it would be a good idea to carry out a number of preparatory processes:

1. We sort dirty laundry by color and type of fabric. Separately set aside items that fade (hand washing is recommended for them).
2. We fasten the zippers on the clothes, check how tightly the buttons are sewn (if a small button comes off during the washing process, it can cause serious damage).

Do not load the tank beyond the limit specified in the manufacturer's instructions. To avoid imbalance, things are placed in a straightened form, distributed over the entire surface of the drum.

When washing large items, be sure to add several small items to the drum. This will not only improve the quality of washing, but also prevent the process of loosening the drum.

How to set the mode?

Before starting the machine, the laundry should be sorted. Each group of items: cotton, synthetic, wool will have to be washed separately. If there is a combination wash mode, cotton can be put in the drum along with synthetics. Delicate fabrics and items that can be washed by hand are collected in a separate group. It is recommended to arrange the products by size. It is better to load large items separately from small ones to avoid imbalance.

If you choose an automatic program, you do not need to set the time and temperature - everything is already programmed. You can also set the basic mode and then adjust the settings using the selector switches.

By setting your washing machine according to the type of fabric and degree of soiling of the laundry you are preparing to wash, you will save time and resources. And most importantly, you will make your favorite things spotlessly clean and keep the fabric in its original form for a long time.

How is communication with a mobile device established?

After downloading the special application, you need to enter 3 parameters:

• type of underwear (for example, shirts, jeans, evening dress, etc.);
• color;
• degree of pollution.

As soon as you bring your mobile phone to the top panel, follow the recommendations of the voice assistant. The “smart” device, after analyzing the information provided, will select the most optimal washing cycle.

Smart Touch button

In addition, the NFC module will be an excellent assistant in identifying and decoding errors. Information will appear on the screen of your gadget that will tell you what to do in case of problems. To conduct mobile diagnostics, you need to bring your phone to the tag and select diagnostic mode.

What is the application for?

Using the Smart application, you can:

• choose optimal programs, in particular additional ones;
• get help in the event of breakdowns, as well as solve some difficulties yourself;
• collect statistics (the program tracks the modes that you run most often, and based on the data obtained, washing parameters are optimized);
• take advantage of a huge collection of tips and tricks to help improve the quality of washing and save resources.

Disadvantages of washing machines of the declared series

Laundry washing machines are positioned as modern because they can be connected to a mobile device. But not all users have gadgets equipped with NFC data transfer technology, which makes connection impossible. In addition, some housewives, even if the module is available, note difficulties in connecting and using the mobile application.

Other disadvantages of washing machines:

• they work too noisily, vibrates during the spin cycle, even if the washing machine is level;
• very long cycles, for example, cotton is processed in 2.5-3 hours;
• when choosing most modes, it rinses poorly, leaving soapy stains on clothes (although this shortcoming is easily eliminated by choosing an additional rinse);
• fragility of individual parts, in particular on the hatch cover;

The Kandy washing machine cannot boast of the quality of individual elements

So, whether to buy or not is up to you! If you want something simple with good washing quality, then the Candy Smart washing machine is what you need!

Today, smartphones have become a part of our lives: through them we listen to music, make purchases, and surf the Internet. That is why manufacturers of laundry machines decided to connect their devices with smartphones, which became possible due to special data transfer technologies. The Candy Smart washing machine has a built-in NFC module that connects to a mobile device through a special application on the Android and iOS platforms.

Candy washing machine modes

Before you start working with the Kandy washing machine, you need to decipher the meanings of the symbols on the panel and become familiar with all the features of the modes. Depending on the model, the user is offered programs:

• Aqua-plus. Designed to completely rid the item of detergents and involves double rinsing.
• Intensive Aimed at removing serious contaminants using high heating rates and maximum speed.
• Delayed start. Allows you to set the start time for the next day. Before selecting a mode, the laundry must be placed in the drum, the powder must be poured into the container and then the start time must be specified.
• Rinsing. It is an additional program and allows you to better clean things from used detergents.
• Soak. Suitable for very dirty items and provides two wash cycles. A low level of heat is used and the powder is poured into two containers at once.
• Wool. Designed for delicate woolen products, it is characterized by low heating temperatures and low speed of rotation.
• Express wash. Allows you to quickly refresh things in half an hour. Characterized by high drum rotation speed.
• Super wash. Consumes a small amount of electricity and is used only for cotton and synthetic materials.
• Super rinse. Used for children's products or items intended for allergy sufferers. This is how the Candy washing device ensures complete removal of detergent from laundry and clothes.
• Working with durable fabrics. Suitable for products made of cotton, linen, hemp, characterized by the use of a temperature of 90 degrees.
• Wash in cold water. For very delicate fabrics and is an alternative to hand washing.
• Sport. Designed for synthetic sportswear and shoes.
• Conditioning. Includes the use of conditioners, softening and flavoring agents.
• No drain. Recommended for items for which spinning is prohibited.
• Combined wash. Allows you to wash items from different fabrics and materials in one go.

When selecting a mode, the Candy Smart washing machine focuses on the type of fabric. There are four signs on its panel:

• Durable fabrics – intensive processing with intermediate spinning.
• Synthetic and combined - selects the number of revolutions and the amount of water so that the result is ideal.
• Delicate - more water is used and several long pauses are made during the work.
• Wool – minimal mechanical impact with strong rinsing.

Separately, it is worth dwelling on the powder receptacle compartments. All used detergents must be placed in it. Throwing powder onto clothing can harm both the device and the item itself. Candy washing machines have three compartments:

1. The compartment marked with the letter B is used in basic operating modes and is intended for dry or liquid powder.
2. The container marked with the letter A is used in the “soaking” mode, when the process uses two cleaning stages.
3. A container with a picture of a flower is intended for liquid conditioners, rinses and fragrances.

Loading detergents

The quality of washing largely depends on the detergents used. Since there are a huge number of them, before use you should sort out what should be added and how. For this purpose, Candy washing machines have special containers (also called trays or hoppers), which are located in the upper left part. Depending on the model, they can have from 2 to 4 compartments. Such internal separation is necessary to supply the product exactly at the moment when it is needed, and not all at once.

The Aquamatic model has only two compartments:

• it is proposed to pour powder into the left one;
• on the right - special additives in liquid form.

If the laundry detergent is difficult to wash out, you can use a special container and run it along with the laundry in the drum (sold together with household chemicals). It is not recommended to simply pour powders into the drum, since they are distributed unevenly, remain in the fibers after rinsing, and in high concentrations can affect the fabric - change its structure or color.

Modernized models like Activa Smart have more compartments:

• for pre-wash;
• for basic programs (if the product is liquid, you must use the bath that comes with the machine);
• for bleach;
• for special additives (softening, bluing, finishing, etc.), only liquids, gels and solutions are poured into the last two compartments.

In any case , the detergent container must be washed periodically, otherwise mold or mildew may grow in it, which can also cause an unpleasant odor. Usually it is quite easy to remove completely, but in some cases it may require effort and skill. All parts must be washed with soda solution and rinsed with running water.

As a preventative measure, after each wash it is better to leave the container open until completely dry and remove any remaining powder.

Pay attention to the socket

To connect the automatic machine, be sure to allocate a separate outlet. It must be waterproof and have a ground wire

Although modern washing machines meet all standards for protecting people from electric shock, extra caution wouldn’t hurt

Stores sell special waterproof sockets with a protective cover and curtains. This option is ideal for a washing machine.

Usually the length of the power cord of the washing machine is the same - one and a half meters. Therefore, it is advisable to place the outlet exactly at this distance from the “home assistant”. Of course, you can use a good extension cord, but the manufacturer still recommends connecting the equipment directly to the power supply.

Grounding in sockets is necessary to prevent weak electric shocks. Otherwise, you will feel an unpleasant tingling sensation when you touch the body of the machine. Such exposure does not pose a serious danger to humans. All it causes is discomfort and inconvenience.

Helpful information

Tips that will be useful to all owners of a Kandy washing machine:

• 
  if faults are detected, you should not try to disassemble the device yourself; if less than a year has passed since the date of purchase, the consumer has the right to free service;

• you need to turn the programmer clockwise and not counterclockwise, so as not to break it;
• With constant washing at high temperatures and speeds, parts will wear out faster, primarily the heating element and bearings will suffer.

First launch of the Indesit washing machine

The Indesit washing machine was delivered, unpacked and installed. The crucial moment comes - the first turn on and start of the wash. It helps to identify hidden defects, as well as get rid of the unpleasant odors of rubber, metal and plastic inherent in new household appliances.

The first “idle” wash takes place at maximum water temperature (90°C), an empty tank, with a small amount (no more than 10% of the norm) of washing powder.

For the first start, set the longest wash mode (as an option, you can use the “auto-cleaning” mode). How to connect an Indesit washing machine to communications, read here.

First launch of the Kandy washing machine

To ensure that the device does not have to be repaired immediately after first switching on, it must be put into operation correctly. First you need to study the User's Guide that comes with each model.

Then you need to follow these steps:

1. Place the device on a flat surface. Adjust its position using a level. If you do not do this, the machine will vibrate strongly and quickly fail.
2. Connect equipment to communications. The drain pipe is installed in the sewer pipe, and the inlet hose clamps are securely fixed.

3. 
   Provide the device with safe access to electrical power.
   It is advisable to connect it to the network directly, without using extension cords. If the outlet is located in the bathroom, then it must have a moisture-proof housing.

4. Remove the shipping bolts that secure the tank.
5. Remove tape, film, plastic and foam from the device. Then you should inspect the tank; it often contains additional components.
6. Perform the first technical launch. It is necessary to check the functionality of the device and to wash the inside of the machine. Pour washing powder into the tray, set the “Cotton” program, close the drum (it should be empty) and press the “Start” button. During the first wash, you need to carefully monitor the operation of the device to assess the serviceability of the parts and prevent leakage.

This publication will tell you how to turn on the Kandy washing machine.

Diagnostics and repair of LG washing machines

If the fault cannot be quickly identified, you will need to partially disassemble the LG washing machine in order to gain access to the components that may fail in this case.

Before opening the case or even partially disassembling the device, it should be disconnected from communications - electricity and water supply. For new equipment that is under warranty, this option is not suitable - you need to call a technician from the service center.

Interference filter malfunction

An interference filter is a device that serves to dampen electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the operation of devices in the house - a TV, radio, computer, etc.

In case of breakdown and failure, the FPS stops passing current through itself. As a result, the entire washing machine does not turn on.

You can check the condition of the interference filter using a multimeter. To do this you need to gain access to the part.

Procedure:

• remove the top cover from the washing machine;
• determine the location of the interference filter;
• check the external condition and functionality of the FPS.

A noise filter is an element of an electrical circuit. There are 3 wires going to its input, and 2 going out. In the case when there is voltage at the input, but there is none at the output, we can talk about a malfunction of the unit. The solution to the problem is to replace the part.

Dismantling the old part and installing a new one should be done very carefully, taking into account the wiring.

Power button failure

This type of breakdown is one of the easiest to fix. To diagnose the condition of a part, you need to gain access to it. This is done with the panel removed.

To analyze the condition of the part, you should use a multimeter. Replacing the power button is quite simple and relatively inexpensive.

Problems with the control module

Diagnostics and repair of the LG control module, and even more so its replacement, is a complex task that only a specialist can handle. To carry out diagnostics and repairs, you need to call a specialist.

If this unit breaks down, almost any error codes may appear on the display or none at all. If the module needs to be replaced, it will be very expensive.

The video will tell you about repairing the control unit:

The door lock is broken

In the case when the washing machine seems to have turned on, but the work has not started, you should pay attention to the hatch door. The door lock is responsible for holding the hatch door closed during washing.

If there is a failure, the error code DE may appear on the display. When the door is locked, the corresponding icon lights up on the display during washing.

If the lock is not locked, washing cannot be carried out - water does not fill in and the drum does not spin. You can check the condition of the node by “ringing” using a multimeter. The solution to the problem is to repair or replace the locking device.

Wiring problems

If the electrical wiring is damaged, the LG washing machine will not function normally.

Depending on the breakdown, work may either be unstable or not even start. Due to poor power supply, the indicators may not light up or flash randomly when turned on.

To fix this problem, you should partially disassemble the washing machine and diagnose the entire electrical circuit.

If a problem area is detected, the wiring is replaced

In the process of analyzing the state of the electrical circuit, it is necessary to pay attention to the reliability of the contacts.

How does it wash and spin?

The Shiatsu relief drum balances the laundry and distributes water evenly. Thanks to the special design, good impregnation of all areas of loaded fabrics is ensured, which contributes to effective washing. Thus, all modern models from Kandy have a high wash class A.

Special drum design in Kandy washing machines

Also, the user should be interested in a large number of 15-16 modes, depending on the model. But you shouldn’t delude yourself too much, because some modes are just normal temperature variations. In machines you can wash:

• jeans;
• mixed fabrics;
• wool;
• delicate fabrics;
• microfiber sportswear;
• baby clothes with extra rinsing

There is a separate soak procedure, super rinse and an Anti-Wrinkle option that minimizes wrinkles in clothes.

GrandoVita models have a special mode that washes fabrics of various types and colors at a temperature of 20 degrees - Mix & Was. At the same time, the manufacturer promises washing efficiency as at 40 degrees. The mode works this way: first, powdered water is sprayed under pressure, which knocks dirt out of the fibers. Therefore, washing at low temperatures will save you electricity, without at all compromising the quality of the wash.

You will not find high spin, as in Miele, Siemens, Samsung, LG washing machines, in these budget options. The maximum revolution is 1200. Although it is absolutely not worth pursuing a high spin rate, because excessive acceleration of the centrifuge can injure thin, delicate things.

What it is?

Probably everyone has things that require careful care. These include fabrics such as lace, silk, satin, chiffon, organza. But there is a risk of ruining clothes if you care for them incorrectly. Usually materials deteriorate when washed, for example, with an inappropriate cycle. But they require delicate washing. This keeps things beautiful for a long time.

Modern washing machines have different modes needed to work with different fabrics. Many have a “delicate wash”. This is gentle care for clothes. It is this that must be installed during each procedure.

On the control panel in washing machines, you can set modes depending on the fabric. There you can select the temperature, spin and other characteristics. To understand the principles of setup, just read the operating instructions for the equipment. A suitable mode will preserve the appearance of the material for a long time.

What difficulties may arise and what to do?

When connecting the Candy washing machine, the following unpleasant situations may occur:

1. Leak at the connection between the inlet hose and the water supply pipe. Replacing the rubber seal and reconnecting the inlet hose will help solve the problem.
2. Leak at the junction of the inlet hose with the body of the washing machine. To eliminate the leak, it is necessary to forcefully tighten the threaded ring on the inlet hose. Additionally, the joint can be coated with sealant.
3. Noise and strong vibration of the washing machine when first started. In such a situation, it is necessary to check whether all transport bolts have been removed from the washing machine body.

If the floor is covered with glossy tiles, you must place the household appliance on a special mat under the legs of the cabinet. This will help prevent the body of the household appliance from moving from its stationary place during the washing process.

Disadvantages of washing machines of the declared series

Laundry washing machines are positioned as modern because they can be connected to a mobile device. But not all users have gadgets equipped with NFC data transfer technology, which makes connection impossible. In addition, some housewives, even if the module is available, note difficulties in connecting and using the mobile application.

Other disadvantages of washing machines:

• they work too noisily, vibrates during the spin cycle, even if the washing machine is level;
• very long cycles, for example, cotton is processed in 2.5-3 hours;
• when choosing most modes, it rinses poorly, leaving soapy stains on clothes (although this shortcoming is easily eliminated by choosing an additional rinse);
• fragility of individual parts, in particular on the hatch cover;

The Kandy washing machine cannot boast of the quality of individual elements

So, whether to buy or not is up to you! If you want something simple with good washing quality, then the Candy Smart washing machine is what you need!

To understand how to use the Candy washing machine, you need not only to understand the mechanism of its operation, but also to navigate the modes, correctly decipher the symbols on the panel, know the stages of starting the wash and follow general recommendations for caring for the mechanism.

Candy washing machine modes

Before you start working with the Kandy washing machine, you need to decipher the meanings of the symbols on the panel and become familiar with all the features of the modes. Depending on the model, the user is offered programs:

• Aqua-plus. Designed to completely rid the item of detergents and involves double rinsing.
• Intensive Aimed at removing serious contaminants using high heating rates and maximum speed.
• Delayed start. Allows you to set the start time for the next day. Before selecting a mode, the laundry must be placed in the drum, the powder must be poured into the container and then the start time must be specified.
• Rinsing. It is an additional program and allows you to better clean things from used detergents.
• Soak. Suitable for very dirty items and provides two wash cycles. A low level of heat is used and the powder is poured into two containers at once.
• Wool. Designed for delicate woolen products, it is characterized by low heating temperatures and low speed of rotation.
• Express wash. Allows you to quickly refresh things in half an hour. Characterized by high drum rotation speed.
• Super wash. Consumes a small amount of electricity and is used only for cotton and synthetic materials.
• Super rinse. Used for children's products or items intended for allergy sufferers. This is how the Candy washing device ensures complete removal of detergent from laundry and clothes.
• Working with durable fabrics. Suitable for products made of cotton, linen, hemp, characterized by the use of a temperature of 90 degrees.
• Wash in cold water. For very delicate fabrics and is an alternative to hand washing.
• Sport. Designed for synthetic sportswear and shoes.
• Conditioning. Includes the use of conditioners, softening and flavoring agents.
• No drain. Recommended for items for which spinning is prohibited.
• Combined wash. Allows you to wash items from different fabrics and materials in one go.

When selecting a mode, the Candy Smart washing machine focuses on the type of fabric. There are four signs on its panel:

• Durable fabrics – intensive processing with intermediate spinning.
• Synthetic and combined - selects the number of revolutions and the amount of water so that the result is ideal.
• Delicate - more water is used and several long pauses are made during the work.
• Wool – minimal mechanical impact with strong rinsing.

Separately, it is worth dwelling on the powder receptacle compartments. All used detergents must be placed in it. Throwing powder onto clothing can harm both the device and the item itself. Candy washing machines have three compartments:

1. The compartment marked with the letter B is used in basic operating modes and is intended for dry or liquid powder.
2. The container marked with the letter A is used in the “soaking” mode, when the process uses two cleaning stages.
3. A container with a picture of a flower is intended for liquid conditioners, rinses and fragrances.

How to choose a mode?

The set of modes for washing clothes in all machines is approximately the same. For simpler equipment, an optimal set of the most basic ones has been compiled; in more advanced models, the choice is a little wider. All information about the capabilities of the washing machine is contained in the instructions, but, as a rule, the control panels are designed in such a way that they can be understood intuitively.

The desired program is set by turning the switch, after which the indicator light lights up or information appears on the display. In some models, you must additionally set the temperature before doing this. Typically, modes are focused on a specific type of material:

• durable fabrics - provide intensive washing, high-quality rinsing, spinning at high speed (including intermediate);
• mixed - its cycle is shorter;
• delicates (for example, wool) – less intensive washing without intermediate spin, with protection against creasing.

In Candy Activa Smart, the program time can be reduced by pressing the button corresponding to the “Super Speed” function. Additional modes include “Hand Wash” at low temperature and with a slow, gentle spin. The Eco-Wash mode is suitable for different types of fabrics. “Ultra-fast washing program”, “special rinse” and “intensive spin” speak for themselves . At the same time, the smart washing machine itself controls the volume of water and the rhythm, adjusting these parameters to the material of the laundry and its weight.

If any concerns arise during the washing process, some parameters (for example, the number of spin speeds) can be changed. To do this, click on “Start”, then make changes and click the above button again.

The selected program can be canceled completely by pressing the start key and turning the device to the “Off” position. After resetting the settings, you can install a new mode and start it.
