Candy Aqua washing machines: review of the model range

Washing modes and times in the Candy washing machine

Almost all functional buttons in the Kandy washing machine are indicated by simple symbols that do not require special decoding.
Only some of the icons in this model may indicate special functions that are not typical for other brands of washing machines. When you purchase a Candy washing machine, washing modes, their selection and startup are one of the main criteria that concerns you. Let's look at how programs and functions are designated in common models.

Are the symbols the same on washing machines of different brands?

Washing machines of modern models are often equipped with panels with Russian-language text indicating a particular mode.

Many modern models are equipped with Russian-language descriptions of washing programs

The design of the models is constantly being improved, new icons are being added that indicate the presence of additional functions. The goal of all these changes is to make operating equipment easy and convenient for anyone. But it is not always possible to understand the various symbols.

There are basic icons that are used across all models, but some brands have their own differences.

Many icons are found on different washing machines

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.

ALISE CB 103 TR

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.

How to choose a washing mode in a washing machine

Before setting the program you need, prepare for washing:

1. Sort your laundry by color and fabric type. It will not be superfluous to sort things by volume. Wash small and large items separately to avoid unbalancing the drum.
2. Treat stains if there are any.
3. Plug in the machine and run “Start”.

1. Place the laundry in the drum.
2. Pour and pour detergent into the cuvette.
3. Use the selector wheel to select the desired automatic mode.
4. Turn on the program start button.

When choosing automatic washing, you do not need to set the washing time, temperature, spin speed and other parameters. In all auto modes, these functional moments are already programmed by the manufacturer. The main thing is to make the right choice of mode, taking into account the type and color of the fabric.

Now you know how to set up a Kandy washing machine. Happy washing!

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.

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.

Series

Italian Candy washing machines are presented in several series. Each of them is designed for specific purposes and equipped with special functions. Knowing the features and characteristics of each series, it is easier for the consumer to make a choice in favor of one or another Candy washing machine.

Bianca

The Bianca series equipment is a narrow washing machine with a steam function and front loading that can hold up to 7 kg of laundry. The models are equipped with a smart Smart Ring interface, thanks to which you can select the appropriate washing mode. It allows you to combine 8 different cycles with four washing modes, which makes it possible to successfully wash absolutely any item.

The steam function allows you to save time on ironing. Thanks to this program, the fibers of your clothes will remain smooth.

Using the special Simply-Fi application, it is possible to control the equipment using a smartphone.

Smart

Narrow Smart front washing machines from the Italian manufacturer Candy allow you to wash 6 kilograms of laundry. The Smart Touch system allows you to control equipment from your smartphone by synchronizing it and simply bringing your mobile device to the NFC tag.

To ensure better cleaning of any type of laundry, the machines have 16 washing programs. The equipment minimizes the consumption of water, electricity and detergents due to the fact that built-in sensors can weigh things, and the machine will automatically select the required amount of water and washing powder. The Smart series also includes top-loading models.

GrandO Vita Smart

Devices in the GrandO Vita Smart line are washing machines with a dryer, an inverter motor and a door on the front panel. The series contains several models with vertical loading of laundry. The drying function allows you to remove almost dry items after the end of the cycle. The exclusive Mix Power System+ technology ensures that dry detergent is pre-mixed with water before it enters the drum. Thanks to this, the detergent gets directly onto the laundry in liquid form, which makes washing more efficient.

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.

Icons on the container for special products

Each washing machine is equipped with a special tray in which detergents are placed. In order for the process to proceed efficiently and correctly, you need to know what exactly is being poured (filled) and into which compartment.

Each container in the tray has a symbolic image that will help you determine where to pour liquid powder and where to pour dry powder:

• letter “A”, number 1 or I - recommended only for dry powder, the product from this compartment is used for pre-washing;
• letter “B”, number 2 or II - powder for the main wash is placed here. There is also a container for bleach, stain remover or protective agent. If such a container is not available, then the product is poured directly into the compartment with the powder;
• a star or flower is a place for softeners and conditioners.

Each compartment in the container is marked with a corresponding sign

Starting the washing machine

Before starting the Candy washing machine, you must carefully sort your laundry into black, white and colored. Then separate cotton, synthetic and wool items from each other. All of them must be washed separately. Combined loading of cotton and synthetics into the drum is permissible only if a combined mode is selected. Before loading clothes into the machine, fasten clothing with buttons, zippers, or snaps. If items have stubborn stains, pre-treat them with a stain remover. Do not place bras, or items with beads, rhinestones, beads, or other small decorative trim into the machine.

When all the clothes are placed in the drum, close the lid tightly. When using one of the Candy programs, indicating temperature, speed and other indicators is not required. Mode parameters can be adjusted using selector switches. Add powder and, if necessary, additional products to the containers: conditioner, stain remover, etc. When all stages have been completed, press the “start” button.

If, after starting work, you need to stop the process, you should cancel the program by setting the selector to “OFF”. Then you should change the mode and press “start”. Or you can press the “Pause” button when the door is unlocked - take out or put things down, close the drum and press start.

Operating rules for Candy washing machines

• Load the drum completely, avoiding overload. This can cause breakdown of the entire mechanism.
• Use emollients.
• Mainly use modes with rpm of 600 - 700. Frequent use of modes with 800 rpm or more on Candy washing mechanisms leads to rapid failure of the oil seal and bearings.
• After each wash, wipe the glass and open the detergent container for 15 to 20 minutes. This will ventilate the Candy car, reduce the likelihood of damage to the rubber of the hatch and prevent liquid from getting under the cuffs.
• Always unplug your device. Otherwise, during possible surges in the power supply, the power supply will overheat and fail.
• Once a season, do a dry wash using a descaling agent and turning on a high temperature setting. This will clean all parts of the device from blockages and the negative effects of solid deposits.

Proper care of your washing machine

The first important tip is not original: before you start using the washing machine, you need to carefully study the operating instructions supplied with it.

Each unit has its own characteristics and nuances in operation and maintenance. But there are a number of rules that apply to all models of such household appliances.

• Installation of a washing machine. It must be placed on a flat horizontal surface. In spin mode, the machine can vibrate very strongly, which sometimes leads to it hitting nearby objects. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the location of the electrical outlet and connection to the water supply and sewerage networks. The shorter the supply cables and hoses are, the better.
• Regular cleaning. The machine must be washed after each use. This applies to both internal and external surfaces. There is no need to disassemble anything, just remove moisture from the inside and outside of the machine with a dry cloth.
• Do not place foreign objects on the machine. Various kitchen utensils are often placed on the surface of the unit. For example, basins, buckets, etc. If the machine is working, then this should absolutely not be done.
• Quality of water used. Perhaps this factor affects the longevity of the unit more than others. If the water is hard, it is recommended to use special water softeners. It also doesn't hurt to install appropriate filters. This prevents the formation of scale - the main cause of breakdowns.
• Cleanliness of the drain pump. Check the drain pump filter regularly. A clogged filter causes the pump to operate under overload. This does not contribute to its long-term operation.

How to care for your washing machine so it doesn't rust

As mentioned above, after washing, the car must be thoroughly wiped with a dry cloth. In addition, ventilation of the machine mechanisms leads to good results.

Do not try to remove rust that has already appeared on your own. Immediately invite a specialist from the service department. Believe me, calling a specialist immediately will save you a lot of money.

Which washing powder is best to use?

There is often an opinion among housewives that there is no difference in using washing powder. Therefore, in order to save money, many people use cheap washing powder. This is a wrong judgment.

Cheap powder forms clumps. When washing, it is not completely removed, remaining in the tray in the form of sediment. Read the text on the washing powder packaging carefully. Products intended for hand washing cannot be washed in an automatic washing machine.

Remember that the powder marked “automatic” is designed specifically taking into account the peculiarities of the processes occurring in the washing machine.

Strictly monitor the amount of washing powder you put into the machine. A large quantity does not guarantee the quality of the wash.

But it will lead to increased foaming and create a threat of failure of electronic components and rubber parts of the unit. Pour the amount of washing powder recommended by the manufacturer into the tray.

How does water quality affect a washing machine?

Once again we focus on water quality. The characteristics of water hardness in each region of Russia are different.

Determining the hardness in a particular water supply is quite simple. You need to purchase a special test in the store to determine hardness. The test is very easy to use.

The result will be determined instantly. Based on the test results, it will most likely be necessary to take the necessary measures to soften the water.

Experienced owners know that it is better not to skimp and immediately install special filters for water softening. There is also a cheaper option - the use of special means. There are a huge number of such reagents on sale today.

You shouldn’t remove folk remedies from the agenda either. A solution of ordinary citric acid in this case can work wonders. Just pour 200 grams into the tray and turn on the machine to heat the water.

If scale does form, the heating elements will need to be replaced. The replacement operation is performed by qualified craftsmen and is very expensive.

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.

Recommendations for choosing a device

The Kandy manufacturer, like any other, has various washing machines: good and not so good. It is recommended to be very careful when choosing, looking at any model you like and comparing it with another with similar characteristics:

1. High-quality technology contains various control systems. The user can optionally customize the criteria for electricity and water consumption. In this case, the volume of loaded laundry is taken into account. There is a system that controls water flow and transparency. If the liquid is contaminated, the machine automatically increases the number and duration of rinses;
2. The washing class shows the efficiency of the model in terms of electricity consumption and the efficiency of the washing process. The most popular units are class A. Many of them are equipped with a gentle washing option with minimal energy consumption. It is not recommended to choose low class G machines;
3. Buck, drum. Stainless steel has excellent wear resistance. Machines with metal drums can be noisy when spinning. Composites muffle sounds, but the service life of such materials is much lower than stainless steel;
4. Ergonomic design - a modern appearance should be combined with a well-designed form. It is important to take into account the size of the machine, which should fit into the place allocated to it in the kitchen or bathroom. Ergonomic control will provide the user with maximum comfort when operating the device;
5. Delicate/hand wash is an option found in almost all Kandy machines. Its presence is important for washing any items that require careful handling;
6. Customer reviews. Before purchasing, it is recommended to read reviews about the model you like. It is advisable to read user opinions on reputable sites and forums. This is the only way to not doubt their objectivity and reality.

Useful tips on how to use the Candy washing machine

The Kandy washing machine is a household appliance with a complex structure.
Its service life directly depends on how accurately the user follows the operating rules of the device. All actions are important, from the first start to the features of caring for the cuff and powder tray.

The article will discuss how to use the Candy washing machine correctly so that it not only works properly, but also washes things well.

Comparison with other brands

Currently, it is possible to purchase washing machines from various brands. Some of them are very famous, others are not very common. To make the right choice, it is worth comparing the characteristics of Candy units with machines from other manufacturers.

When it comes to Italian washing machines, two well-known brands come to mind: Candy and Indesit. They are characterized by affordable prices, a wide range of models and all the necessary washing modes. Despite the similarity of the products of these brands, each of them has its own pros and cons.

To choose which equipment is better, you need to compare its main characteristics.

Both brands are distinguished by high quality products, which allows them to extend their service life . Similar materials are used for production. Candy has a five-year durability reserve for all components and parts.

Simpler and more intuitive controls are provided on Indesit equipment, while the controls on some Candy models are not so easy to understand.

Both companies equip their washing equipment with non-separable drums. If repairs are necessary after the end of the warranty period, you need to know that they will be quite expensive. Due to the non-separable tank, it is impossible to replace failed bearings; you will have to completely change the unit, which costs approximately 2/3 of the cost of the entire machine.

Both brands have approximately the same price range. Candy washing machines are distinguished by a greater variety of design solutions in the model range. Frontal and vertical, built-in and free-standing, compact and standard dimensions. You can choose an option that fits into any room. Indesit machines are more uniform in their design.

Candy washing machines are often compared with products from the Turkish company Beko, since they have approximately the same cost. The advantage of Candy is the higher quality of the metal used for assembly. The body of Beko units is subject to fairly rapid corrosion, and metal internal components do not always cope with heavy loads. The service life of Turkish washing equipment without any problems is approximately 4 years.

Candy machines are distinguished from well-known German manufacturers (Miele, Hansa, Bosch, Siemens) by a more affordable price and having similar functions and washing programs.

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.

• Remove the shipping bolts that secure the tank.
• Remove tape, film, plastic and foam from the device. Then you should inspect the tank; it often contains additional components.
• 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.

Preparing for washing

Preparing for washing involves performing the following steps:

1. Sorting laundry . It is divided by type of fabric, color, degree of contamination. If there are stubborn stains on your laundry, they need to be pre-treated by soaking them in a stain remover.
2. Inspection of things . Before placing items in the drum, you should check the pockets to make sure there are no small objects. Buttons and zippers are fastened, holes are sewn up. If bed linen is to be washed, turn it inside out.
3. Estimate the amount of laundry and its approximate weight . Overloading should not be allowed. It’s good if the drum is half empty during washing.

Mode selection

To select a washing mode, simply turn the programmer knob to the desired position. When the controller is installed, press the “Start” button. If necessary, first change the water temperature and spin speed.

Main modes and their designations:

1. Two drops and a “+” icon located on the right side. This is a double rinse mode, with its help it will be possible to completely rid the fabrics of detergent.
2. Shirt with stains. This is an intensive wash program in which the drum rotates at maximum speed and the water temperature is 90 degrees.
3. Triangle and dial. This is a delayed start function.
4. A basin and a stream that enters it from a watering can. This is a standard extra rinse for laundry. When this option is enabled, the wash cycle is extended by half an hour.
5. A basin with the letter P. Enabling this mode will enable pre-wash.
6. Three balls. The program is designed for washing woolen items.
7. A basin with the numbers 32 inside. This is a quick wash mode that will last 32 minutes.

Washing programs for the Kandy washing machine, video review:

Instructions for use

To start the washing machine, you need to load laundry into it. When it is inside the drum, the hatch is pressed tightly so that a characteristic click is heard.

The next step is to turn on the machine to the network and select the appropriate mode . If the drain hose has a tap that shuts off the water, it must be turned.

Temperature

In most programs, the washing temperature is set by default, but it can be adjusted if necessary.
This is done by pressing a special button. The minimum washing temperature in a Kandy machine is 30 degrees, and the maximum is 90 degrees. The choice of temperature regime is determined by the type of fabric and the degree of its contamination.

For example, silk and wool items can be washed in cold water, while cotton and linen items can be heated to 90 degrees. The optimal water temperature for synthetic products is 60 degrees.

If you don’t understand which mode is suitable for a particular item, you need to study the label. It contains the necessary information.

Spin

The rotation speed of the drum determines how dry the items will be after washing . The maximum speed that the Kandy machine can reach is 1400 rpm. These values ​​are typical for devices with drying. The standard speed is 1200 rpm.

If necessary, spinning can be turned off completely. This is true when washing delicate fabrics, wool and silk.

Adding detergents

Detergents are added to the powder receptacle, which is divided into several sections . The left compartment is for powder that will be used for the main wash, and the right one for the preliminary wash. Another section is located in the center. It is intended for liquid formulations: bleaches and conditioners.
