Popular programs

Candy washing machines are equipped with various functions that allow you to clean your laundry as gently and efficiently as possible. First of all, it is worth considering the programs, each of which is designed for a specific type of fabric.

• Cotton . Economy mode for effective cleaning of cotton items.
• White cotton . A program that ensures the removal of any dirt from snow-white cotton items.
• Cotton and pre-wash . Here, before the main process, soaking occurs. This mode is suitable for heavily soiled laundry.
• Synthetics . Program optimized for synthetic fabrics.
• Baby clothes . A mode that involves washing at high temperatures. This allows you to efficiently disinfect children’s things.
• Wool. This is a gentle wash at low temperature. This mode is also suitable for cashmere products.
• Jeans. A program designed to remove stains and dirt from denim. In this case, the fabric is not damaged and does not fade.
• Sport. This mode is usually designated by the English word. However, its meaning is not difficult to understand. The program is designed to clean sportswear.

There are different washing modes, differing in the operating time of the unit and some other features.

• Fast. The washing time in this mode is 30 minutes.
• Daily . Here the time increases to 59 minutes.
• Delicate . This program is suitable for cleaning delicate and delicate fabrics. In this case, the impact on things is reduced by periodically stopping the drum and increasing the amount of water.
• Manual. This is an imitation of gentle washing in a basin. If some items in your wardrobe have a “hand wash only” label, this mode is ideal for them. Spinning here occurs with a decrease in speed.
• Eco Mix 20. This is an economical mode. The water warms up to 20 degrees. This program is designed for mixed laundry.

Some models allow you to set the rinse mode (gentle or intensive). You can also press the “Spin and Drain” button if necessary. This option is useful if you need to urgently stop the process.

Main groups

To begin with, let’s figure out what the functions of any washing machine are. Divided into different modes, depending on the type of clothing, rinsing and spinning functions, as well as some additional ones, such as soaking and delicate washing on some machines.

The most basic designations reflect the process itself, most often this:

• washing (+ additional or preliminary);
• some types of rinsing;
• spinning and drying;
• draining.

In addition to these, there are often modes used for different types of fabrics. A specific designation allows you to change the water temperature and speed of rotation during the spin cycle. To do this, they use conventional symbols for cotton, wool, synthetics and delicate fabrics such as silk.

Additional symbols on washing machines can be selected at the owner’s request:

• handwash;
• fast mode;
• Kids' things;
• jackets and sportswear;
• soak.

Explanation of symbols in instructions

In addition to short verbal symbols, there are various symbols on the control panel of Candy washing machines. Many of them are intuitive, as they immediately evoke appropriate associations.

However, in order not to confuse anything, you should know exactly which buttons you are pressing. Otherwise, the quality of the wash may noticeably decrease. Accidental damage to things cannot be ruled out.

Let's look at the most common icons found on certain models of the brand.

• Shirt with stains. This is a particularly intensive wash mode. It can be used to wash very heavily soiled items. Elimination of stains is carried out due to the accelerated rotation of the drum, high water temperature (90 C), and the duration of the process (170 minutes).
• Shower head aimed at the pelvis. This is a rinse option that can be enabled separately.
• Drops and plus. This is a double rinse option. It is used when cleaning children's clothes to completely remove traces of powder. This process also eliminates the risk of allergic reactions in people with hypersensitivity. Of course, the total washing time in this case increases (by about 30-40 minutes).
• A skein of yarn (or several skeins). A mode suitable for washing woolen items (sweaters, knitted accessories, blankets, etc.). The duration of this wash is 55 minutes.
• Cloud and arrow looking down. This may indicate a program for cleaning durable fabrics (cotton, linen, etc.). The water here warms up to 90 C.
• Feather . It is easy to guess that this symbol means the processing of delicate fabrics that require delicate treatment.
• Numbers 32, 44. These are quick wash symbols indicating the number of minutes.
• A clock whose hand points to the left . This is a delayed start function that allows you to program the washing machine to start working at a specific point in the future (within 24 hours).
• Snowflake. This is a special mode. When using it, the water remains cold. This program is suitable for cleaning synthetic fabrics that cannot withstand high temperatures. The duration of the process is 50 minutes. Many people use this mode as an alternative to hand washing.

There are also rarely seen icons that are also worth considering.

• SUPER R. This inscription means “super wash”. This option allows you to significantly speed up the process. This mode is recommended for cotton and synthetics.
• Z. This letter means spin off. Draining occurs immediately after rinsing. This function is suitable for items that cannot be wrung out.
• M&W . This symbol combination means washing mixed fabrics. It allows you to load different types of things into the drum, simplifying the process and saving energy.

How to choose a mode?

First of all, you should sort your laundry. Consider the type of fabric and color (it is better to wash whites separately from colored ones). Then decide what you will put in the car first. Based on this, options are selected. As already mentioned, Candy offers programs designed to perfectly clean every type of fabric. You just need to press the button with the appropriate name. As for the duration of the process, it is important to take into account the degree of contamination of things.

Quick wash is suitable for unstained clothing that has only been worn for a couple of days. If clothes need thorough cleaning, it is better to choose a long but effective operating mode of the unit. Remember that the amount of powder is directly related to the duration of the process.

Additional options (re-rinse, cancel spin, etc.) are used as needed, which is determined in each specific case separately.

See below for the features of the modes in the Candy washing machine.

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.

Symbols and their meaning: overview of Kandy washing machine icons

Kandy washing machines are devices with extensive functionality and wide capabilities.
Most buttons and indicators have images with clear symbols that do not require decoding. Article on the topic: LG washing machine who is the manufacturer

But some icons may be specific to a specific Kandy washing machine model and may not be found on other manufacturers of automatic washing machines.

Special attention should be paid to deciphering the error codes that Kandy displays on the display in case of malfunctions.

Nuances

In order for delicate washing in a washing machine to be effective, you must follow a few simple rules:

• Colored items should be separated from light ones.
• For washing, it is advisable to use a special liquid detergent and a little softener.
• It is better to soak very dirty items in advance with stain remover.
• There are things, for example underwear, that need to be loaded into the machine only in special covers and bags.
• You should not leave clothes in the machine after finishing washing.
• Some products stretch, so they should not be hung and laid out to dry.

Main and additional images and their interpretation

Before you start using household appliances, you need to familiarize yourself with the symbols on the Kandy body. This will make it easier and faster to navigate when choosing a program and setting conditions.

All symbols and pictograms on the body of the washing machine can be divided into several groups:

1. Purely informational (brand name, maximum drum load, etc.).
2. Progress of the washing process (starting, spinning, drying, draining, etc.).
3. Indicators of washing modes (cotton, wool, synthetics, delicate materials, denim).
4. Modes set by the consumer (hand wash, quick wash, economical, etc.).
5. Additional functions that are responsible for increasing the volume of rinsing water, keeping things wrinkle-free, controlling foam formation, etc.

The main types of icons that can be found on various models of Kandy washing machines include the following designations:

• 
  the “+” symbol and two drops next to it means rinsing in more water than is accepted by standards, the mode is called “Aqua Plus”;

• image of a shirt with stains - intensive wash at high temperature (suitable for fabrics resistant to hot water - linen, cotton);
• clock pattern – delayed start of washing;
• drawing of a basin with drops of water - intensive rinsing to better wash out the remaining detergent;
• basin with the letter “P” - soaking before washing, which is carried out in warm water using powder (you must immediately pour the detergent into two compartments of the powder receptacle);
• symbolic image of a skein of thread - processing wool in slightly warm water and without intense impact, so that the material does not mat or become deformed;
• basin and numbers “32” - this is an express wash for 32 minutes, which is suitable for slightly soiled clothes;
• “SuperR” - super wash (a short program of 50 minutes, which saves time and resources);
• image of finely dispersed watering - normal rinsing;
• image of a spiral, shirt and splashes - an option that allows you to make the material softer after washing (flavoring and conditioning);
• the letter “a” in the triangle – when it is necessary to eliminate organic contaminants;
• “Z” - draining water (the laundry is not spun);
• snowflake - wash in cold water;
• “Sport” - washing sportswear in warm water;
• “M&W” - combined wash for different types of items in one load;
• “44” - quick wash in 44 minutes;
• “32” - very fast wash in 32 minutes.

Detergents

Using a delicate mode is not enough to preserve the appearance of the product. Washing powders are important. It is best to use liquid products. They dissolve well at low temperatures and are perfectly washed out of fabrics. They do not form pellets and the structure of the material is preserved.

Depending on the color of the item, bleaching powders and universal ones are used. The product must not contain phosphates or enzymes. Detergents with lanolin do an excellent job of removing stains. This substance has a mild effect on the material, preserving color.

Thus, the delicate mode has a gentle effect on the shape and color of clothes. The washing temperature is low and the duration of the procedure is minimal. Things do not deform and do not lose their original color. The mode saves effort and time. Things remain clean and beautiful.

Manufacturers put symbols on the front panel of automatic washing machines that make it easier to operate this type of household appliance. To understand the meaning of each symbol, you need to look at the instructions included with the model. This accompanying document deciphers all the icons on the washing machine, and also provides recommendations for the effective use of each function they indicate. The use of abbreviations and pictograms allows the manufacturer to place maximum information in a limited space. The symbols for the main functions of washing units may be the same from different companies. The encryption of additional features differs from brand to brand.

All symbols and pictograms printed on the front panel of the body of the automatic washing machine can be conditionally divided into four groups.

First group: progress of the washing process

Using the icons belonging to this group, the automatic machine is turned on and off, and all intermediate stages of the washing process are visualized through indicator lights that light up alternately.

Light indicators show in detail the performance of the unit and what program is currently running. All possible errors are also visible.

This includes symbols indicating:

• starting the washing process;
• pre-wash;
• operation of the machine in normal mode;
• start of the laundry rinsing process;
• possibility of repeated rinsing;
• draining contaminated water;
• spin;
• drying;
• end of operation of the household appliance.

Having glanced at the line of listed icons, the consumer instantly determines the washing stage by the lit indicator.

Easy to read washing program selection panel. The consumer can quickly set the mode required for a given type of laundry

Second group: washing mode indicators

This group includes pictograms indicating washing modes. Sometimes they are also called washing programs. Each mode is designed to care for products made from a specific type of fabric:

• cotton;
• synthetics;
• wool;
• silks;
• denim material.

In accordance with the selected program, the temperature level of the water in which the products will be washed is set manually or automatically (depending on the model). The desired spin mode is also selected, determined by the drum speed and the intensity of its rotation. It is possible to select a lower temperature than indicated in the program.

Classification of washing programs into daily and special groups helps the user decide on the optimal option

Third group: modes at the discretion of the consumer

This group conventionally includes symbols indicating washing programs selected by the consumer at his own discretion. We are talking about such functional capabilities of automatic machines as:

• hand wash;
• washing stains;
• care of delicate fabrics;
• night cycle;
• super intensive wash;
• washing children's clothes;
• economical washing process;
• curtains;
• quick wash.

On the displays of different models, in addition to the listed designations, you can also see “rinse with softener” or “hold rinse mode”. The number of additional icons depends on the functionality of models produced by different manufacturers.

A detailed description of programs by fabric type facilitates the operation of the machine for consumers who prefer to work with text information

Competing companies, taking into account the interests of different groups of the population, are coming up with new options for washing products. Therefore, with the release of subsequent generations of automatic washing machine models, their functionality is improved and the list of symbols is expanded.

Fourth group: activation of additional functions

A separate group of indicator buttons includes additional functions that correspond to:

• for reducing the washing time interval;
• for reducing the number of drum revolutions;
• for foam control;
• for wrinkle-free clothes;
• per volume of water.

You can activate the desired function by pressing the corresponding key or indicator button. The light that appears indicates that the selected functionality has been launched.

Additional programs and their symbols that suggest how to use these washing modes

Selecting a washing program

The selector allows you to select not only a program, but also set the washing temperature, which can be adjusted. It is convenient to select a mode based on the type of material. The Kandy manufacturer uses similar badges on different models.

You can choose a program from among those provided by the manufacturer. After this, the basic mode can be adjusted using switches.

On the selector you can see the following images:

• 
  modes for delicate fabrics are marked with a “leaf” icon;

• “test tube” allows you to select the washing mode for synthetics and combined materials;
• stylized “cotton box” - for processing cotton items.
• skein of thread - for wool.

In a number of models, the positions on the selector are labeled with words, which allows you to quickly navigate the controls even when the car is new.

The modes to choose from may include:

1. Eco Mix 20 – economical washing in water at a temperature of only 20ºС.
2. Drain + spin – treatment without washing and rinsing, only water removal.
3. Hand washing is an imitation of gentle processing, similar to washing in a basin by hand.
4. Jeans – a program for washing denim items.
5. Fast – processing within 30 minutes.
6. Daily – processing within 59 minutes.

Start and pause on Kandy washing machines are depicted in the traditional way for such equipment - this is an arrow and two vertical lines next to it. The device is turned on using the “ON/OFF” button or by rotating the selector to the “OFF” position.

Review of the washing modes of the Kandy washing machine - in the video:

Designations in different companies

All machines have a “delicate wash”, but manufacturers’ icons may differ. The equipment has modes for delicate items and hand washing. The two programs are similar. The first wash takes 30 minutes longer, but both are used to take care of things. According to the programs, the products are soaked.

There are similar functions in technology. The control panel has a hand wash symbol - a hand lowered into the basin. And the delicate mode is indicated in the form of a pen. The programs have the same effect as in the Ariston car.

The Bosch company designates women's dresses on typewriters. This is a delicate mode that can be used for delicate fabrics: silk, satin, mixed materials. Electrolux equipment has 3 programs necessary for working with delicate materials. Hand washing is indicated by a hand in a basin, and the “butterfly” symbol is for lightweight materials. The third function is intended for delicate products, it is presented in the form of a flower.

Zanussi machines have the most functions, there are 4 of them. Two of them are designed for hand washing, the difference is in the temperature - 30 and 40 degrees. The ability to select a program allows you to select the desired mode for careful care of things.

Candy washing machine error codes

The Kandy washing machine reports problems with operation not only by stopping the washing process, but also by issuing the corresponding code on the display . To find out what the problem is, the code must be deciphered.

Failure codes can be divided into the following groups:

• 
  E1 – error when blocking the hatch (the cause of the failure can be either a loosely closed door or a serious breakdown);

What do the icons on the Candy washing machine mean?

• Decoding the icons on the panel of the Candy washing machine
• How to select a program on a Candy washing machine

Candy washing machines are high-quality devices with wide functionality. Many of the modes and options here are indicated by symbols, so in order to use this technique, you need to know what the icons on the Candy washing machine mean.

Setting the gentle mode

Some devices do not support delicate washing. There will be no icon on the washing machine. In this case, you need to learn how to configure it yourself:

• You should choose a short mode - about 40 minutes.
• The temperature should be 30-40 degrees.
• You can select double rinse.
• The spin speed should be adjusted. The maximum can be 800. But sometimes you should use drain without spin, this is usually indicated on the product tags.
• You need to disable drying and ironing if these functions are available.

Some modern Samsung branded machines have the Eco Bubble function. When washing, air bubbles appear, dissolving the granules of the washing substance. Therefore, even thin items remain intact, but are washed perfectly. This type of processing saves powder, water and energy.

Decoding the icons on the panel of the Candy washing machine

On the control panel of most machines, the user most often encounters the following symbols:

• An icon depicting two drops and a plus sign. This option means an additional rinse with more water. Increases the cycle time by about half an hour, but allows you to better rinse out any remaining detergent. This option will be relevant for families with small children, allergy sufferers, and also in cases where more washing powder was added than necessary.
• T-shirt icon with dark spots. Intensive wash that allows you to thoroughly wash fabrics with stubborn stains. Stain removal is ensured by high temperature and long program duration. The spin is performed at maximum speed.
• Image of a clock with a triangle. Delayed start function. Allows you to postpone the startup of the device for up to 24 hours. For example, you can set up a machine so that it completes a cycle when the owner comes home from work.
• An icon depicting a container with a watering can. Additional rinse. Lasts from 30 to 40 minutes depending on the set mode.
• A basin with the letter "P" inside. Preliminary. Increases cycle time for better washing of heavily soiled items. The powder must be added to the appropriate reservoir in the cuvette.
• The icon with the image of three balls of wool is intended for washing items made of wool, cashmere and viscose. Duration – up to 55 minutes. The peculiarity of this cycle is the smooth rocking of the drum.
• Capacity and number 32. Quick program for refreshing or washing lightly soiled items at a water temperature of 50°C. Duration – 32 minutes.
• Icon with a picture of a cloud and a down arrow. Mode for light and colored cotton fabrics. It has different temperatures available (from 30° to 90°C), a pre-wash option, a maximum spin by default, but can be changed at the user’s discretion.
• Image of a flask. Designed for synthetic and mixed fabrics. Cleans items efficiently and carefully at temperatures from 30°C to 60°C with pre-wash.
• Delicate program (feather icon). For things made of acrylic, etc. Performed at 40°C and in an increased amount of water to be gentle on the fabric.
• Hand wash (container in which the hand is placed). Intended for products that have the designation “manual” on the label. Performed at 30°C.

Some Candy machines offer the user the following programs:

• Snowflake icon. Performed in cold water. Intended for materials whose heating is unsafe. Duration: 50 minutes, can be used as a hand wash for delicate fabrics.
• Sport mode. Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes, used for sportswear and shoes.
• Number 44 and apostrophe. Quick wash at 30°C for 44 minutes. Designed for lightly soiled items.
• Number 32 and apostrophe. Similar to the previous one, but performed within 32 minutes. Used to freshen items worn daily (underwear, shirts, etc.).
• Triangle with letters CL. Designed to effectively remove stains of organic origin.
• M&W. Mix&Wash System program. This mode is used to wash mixed fabrics together, such as cotton and synthetics. The duration of the program is approximately three hours, the temperature is 40°C. Due to the long time and low water temperature, significant energy savings occur.

Peculiarities

Delicate fabrics are washed according to the following standards:

• A lot of water is used, so the mechanical impact on the fabric structure is minimal.
• The water temperature is 30 degrees, the maximum it can be 40 degrees.
• This is fast mode. The more an item is washed, the higher the risk of deformation.
• The drum rotates smoothly and slowly.
• Spinning is performed at minimum speed - 400-700.
• Items are not dried or ironed, even if these functions are enabled by the manufacturers.

How to select a program on a Candy washing machine

To wash things in a Candy machine, you need to sort them by color, load them into the drum and pour detergent into the ditch. Next, you need to use the selector to set the mode and temperature corresponding to the type of loaded tissue.

Article on the topic: How to put a blanket in the washing machine

Once the program and temperature are selected, the user can change the automatically set spin speed.

Next, the owner of the washing machine can choose additional options - intensive washing, additional rinsing, light ironing. If necessary, the delayed start option is used.

To start the equipment, you need to press the “Start/Pause” button. After the cycle begins, the indicator with the image of a lock will light up, indicating that the hatch is locked. Washing machines with a display will show a constantly decreasing time until the end of the cycle, but if there is no screen, the machine will indicate which stages are being performed by flashing the corresponding indicators.

If a malfunction or breakdown occurs during operation, the Candy machine will notify the user with a code of letters and numbers on the display or by flashing LEDs in a certain sequence.

Features of the design and operation of Candy machines

Among washing machines from different manufacturers, Candy models show themselves to be extremely wear-resistant and reliable devices of high quality. Almost all models are sma (automatic washing machine). However, like any technology, Kandy washing machines have both strengths and weaknesses.

• Beautiful performance and original design
• Acceptable price
• Great functionality. All latest models have many options
• Impressive lineup. There are models with drying clothes, with front loading of clothes, vertical, narrow - for every taste.
• Excellent quality of laundry. There are modes for gentle washing of fragile fabrics.
• High efficiency.
• Even budget models have protection against water leakage
• The warranty is quite long and the service network is well developed.

• Most often the control units of these machines fail. Settings begin to go wrong, programs fail - to understand how to reset the error, diagnostics are needed, but in general, this is a signal for the need for repairs.
• These washing machines are extremely sensitive to voltage surges. Almost every instruction manual for a car recommends using a voltage stabilizer. Voltage stabilizers for washing machines
• Inexpensive models have a low-quality body, the enamel of which breaks off, they quickly scratch and rust. The loading hatches are also not made very well.

Despite all its shortcomings, which are present, however, with any manufacturer, Kandy’s popularity among buyers does not weaken. And manufacturing defects in Candy washing machines are very low, and heating element malfunctions are extremely rare.

Among the latest models, the manufacturer has created models that have “Smart Touch” - a technology that makes it possible to control the washing machine from a tablet or phone, although only on Android.

Often you have to wash things that differ from each other in color. What to do if such a need arises so that they do not shed? The Mix Power System, implemented in narrow models, allows you to wash multi-colored items together without the risk of them fading.

In addition, modern models are equipped with drums that have a special coating that improves the quality of washing. During operation, a situation often arises when the washing machine needs to be forcibly diagnosed in order to identify a malfunction. It's not difficult to do this.

• The switch is set to "OFF". The drum must be empty.
• Press and hold the first function button on the left and switch the switch to the 2nd position - as a rule, this is a temperature level of 60 degrees.
• After five seconds, all indicators should light up and you can release the button.
• Press the “Start” button.

• The drum will contain about six liters of water, but not as usual, but through the pre-wash and powder compartment.
• The machine will pause and turn on the heating element.
• Then the water is added and the drum starts.
• Pause 4 seconds
• Water is added and the drum starts at the same time
• The operation of the pump is checked - complete drainage of water
• Spin function is checked
• Completing diagnostics

At the end of the diagnosis, all indicators should light up. It happens with Kandy washing machines that errors occur that are not displayed on the display or by blinking indicators.

• The washing machine refuses to turn on - you should check whether the machine is plugged into the outlet and whether there is voltage in the outlet.
• A lot of foam when washing - how to eliminate it: check if hand washing powder is poured into the machine. People often mistakenly add powder that is not suitable for machine washing.
• Water does not pour into the drum - how to fix it: check if the delayed start function is turned on.
• The water does not drain and spin after washing - the “light ironing” mode may be activated. Either the “no drain” or “no spin” modes work.
• The indicators glow randomly and it is impossible to decipher errors from them - you should turn off the machine for two minutes and turn it on again.
• The machine vibrates strongly during operation - the machine may not be positioned correctly or the drum may be overloaded.

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.

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:

The danger of learning functionality by trial and error

Automatic washing machines are complex household appliances that cannot be studied at random. By pressing several buttons at the same time, the consumer can start a washing mode that is inappropriate for the loaded laundry or cause the launch of incompatible functions. Improper operation of an automatic washing machine can damage not only the quality of the clothes being washed, but also the household appliance itself.

You should not rely on your knowledge of previous models, because manufacturers are improving their products and making changes to their design. You should start actively using the washing machine after carefully checking the symbols printed on the panel with the similar symbols printed in the instructions. After reading the recommendations for choosing a washing mode for each type of fabric, you can begin testing the installed unit.

Some manufacturers practice supplementing the instructions with a table that is self-adhesive to the body of the automatic machine. This is very convenient, since you don’t have to constantly flip through the equipment’s operating manual in search of a table with an explanation of the icons. For those who do not have such a self-adhesive plate, we can advise you to cut out the required page from the instructions, paste it into a file, and attach it with tape to the body of the machine in a place convenient for reading.

In conclusion, I would like to note that there are many manufacturers of automatic washing machines, and the list could be continued. But even on those few brands reviewed, you probably noticed some similarity in the icons for various models of washing machines. Companies, improving the functionality of their products, are trying to simplify the program control panel. At the same time, familiar icons, the meaning of which has long been known to consumers, are not removed from everyday life.

Against the background of clear pictures, a new icon always looks unusual and attractive, indicating, as a rule, an improved function. Buyers who keep an eye on new products are always interested to know what the creative icons on the panels of the latest generation washing machines mean. Non-standard designations for new washing technologies are an excellent marketing ploy, as they attract the attention of sophisticated consumers.

With the variety of choices that are now available in the markets, buying a modern washing machine is not difficult. Everyone can choose for themselves, based on their own taste, design preferences, taking into account the available space and funds.

The technology is constantly being improved, new models appear, changed not only externally, but also functionally. Manufacturers add various programs and new symbols to the panel. When replacing equipment, it happens that you have to change your usual manufacturer. Then the question arises, how to understand unfamiliar notations.

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!

Washing modes in the Candy washing machine

Italian Candy washing machines are attractive due to their combination of rich functionality, good performance characteristics and reasonable cost. Most of the buttons on the control panel have clear, generally accepted symbols - their meaning can be easily understood by the average user. And if any questions arise, then there is always an instruction at hand, in which there is a complete transcript of the entire “infographic.” But there are also a number of symbols that are not typical for other brands. Let's figure out what washing modes Candy machines have, what makes them special, and what icons to look for them under.

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.

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.

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.
