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.

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:

Rare badges

The models mentioned will require additional explanation as some modes are indicated by non-standard images. Let’s look at what each icon means using specific examples. Thus, the Candy Aquamatic 2D1140-07 brand offers the following special modes:

  1. Snowflake. Turning off the water heating, which is often necessary for fabrics not intended for washing in a hot environment. Lasts 50 minutes and easily replaces delicate hand washing.
  2. The word "Sport". Used for sportswear and shoes and lasts 70 minutes.
  3. The number "44" with an apostrophe. Speed ​​wash at 30 degrees for 44 minutes.
  4. The number "32" with an apostrophe. Similar to the previous express wash with a duration of 32 minutes.

Candy Aqua 104D2-07, in addition to those discussed, has only one special mode, designated “M&W”. The full decoding is “Mix and Wash System,” which translates as “mixing and washing system.” With this program, you can wash different types of fabric in one cycle, focusing only on color. The Candy CS4 1071DB1/2 model also has rare buttons.

  1. "SUPER R" inscription. This means “Super Wash” - reducing the duration of any previously selected program by 50 minutes.
  2. Basin and jet from above. Super rinse, similar to the Aqua-plus mode.
  3. Downward jet. A type of rinsing with basic parameters (end of cycle and half-hour duration).
  4. Spiral, sprayer and drops. Involves conditioning, aromatization and softening of fabric.
  5. Triangle and "CL". A special program designed to remove organic contaminants.
  6. Letter "Z". Exclusion of the drain function from the cycle.

By remembering the described options for the panel buttons of Kandy machines, you can make your laundry easier, fight stains more effectively, and also save water and light consumption. Before starting the machine, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the icons of the main buttons. There are also some nuances here.

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!

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.

How to use the Candy washing machine?

  1. Loading detergents
  2. How to choose a mode?
  3. How to load laundry?
  4. Starting and ending the wash

Candy washing machines have earned a good reputation; the range includes models that differ in size, functionality and appearance. Depending on this, instructions for use are drawn up. It’s not difficult to understand them, since the developers tried to make everything as simple and convenient as possible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

To prevent mold from developing in the cuff, it must be wiped dry. The outer body of the machine is wiped with soft sponges and any cleaning agents without abrasives.

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

Preparing equipment for work

Before leaving the factory, the washing machine is brought into the transport position so as not to disturb the settings of the shock-absorbing springs, and is packaged to protect the body surfaces from mechanical damage. Freeing the equipment from its packaging is the first task of the preparatory stage for launch. Next steps:

  1. Remove the bolts securing the drum during transportation. The hardware heads are located on the back wall of the washing machine body. Close the holes on the panel that open after removing the screws with plastic plugs from the included set.
  2. Remove the display from the protective film and the powder receiver block from the tape.
  3. Check the interior of the drum: there should be no objects in it.
  4. Connect the pressure hose of the machine to the water supply, and the drain hose to the sewer directly or through a siphon.
  5. Install the washing machine on a solid floor surface at a building level using adjustable screw feet.
  6. Connect the electrical appliance to the apartment electrical network through a waterproof socket with a grounding conductor. Do not use a carrier or extension cord.

Don't rush to get rid of the packaging. It is advisable to keep the box along with the receipt until the end of the SMA warranty period.

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.

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.

DesignationsDescriptionsTime, min
Aqua-plus. By choosing this option, you get a cycle with an extra rinse. Valuable program for allergy sufferers, suitable for children's items 30—40
Intensive mode. For things to which special conditions must be applied, otherwise they will not be washed. Temperatures are expected to be high - up to 95 degrees. Suitable for heat-resistant fabrics: cotton, linen. Not for delicate fabrics such as tulle or organza 170
Delayed start. A convenient option for those who go to work and are away from home for a long time. By setting the start time, you can predict the end of the process when you arrive 1-24 hours
Rinsing. By selecting this option, you can set an additional rinse. Water and energy costs will increase, but the environmental friendliness of washed products will increase. This is especially important for underwear and bedding. 30—40
Pelvis with the letter "P"Pre-mode, soaking. Designed for washing too dirty items. The process takes place in slightly heated water, since hot water helps to strengthen many contaminants. The detergent is poured into two containers at once - for the first cycle and for the second, which will begin after draining 170
Three skeins of woolWoolen items washed under normal conditions become deformed and become matted. They are washed only in lukewarm water at a minimum drum rotation speed 55
Basin with the inscription "32"32 is the time. This is exactly how much the manufacturer allocated for express washing. The program is convenient for things that just need a little refreshing 32
This symbol can be found in the LISE CB 103 TR model. Super wash. Approved for use only on cotton and synthetic fabrics. A convenient option for those who like to save money and wash quickly By clicking on this button you will shorten any program by 50 minutes

Drain without spinning. Used when washing fabrics for which spinning is contraindicated. 4
Such a button is, for example, in the Aquamatic 80F model. The special feature of the mode is cold water. Suitable for delicate and not too dirty products. Saves energy 50
SportWash clothes for sports. The process takes place in warm water. Such things usually contain synthetics, so hot water is contraindicated for them. 70
44”Quick wash. In addition to the main process, the cycle includes rinsing and spinning. The number of clothes per load is limited. Applicable only for slightly soiled items. Good energy savings 44
32”Express. An even faster process. Requirements are similar to the previous mode 32
Mix & Wash System - combined washing. A convenient option that allows you to simultaneously load different fabrics into the drum 180

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.

DesignationTextileDescription
DurableA set of programs that provide intensive processing. There is an intermediate spin that ensures rinsing quality. After the final spin, the products need a little drying.
Synthetics and combinedThe drum rotation speed and water level are selected so that the washing and rinsing results are ideal. Prevents creasing
DelicateDuring the process, long pauses are arranged. More water is collected than usual
WoolenThey use a program developed by the Woolmark Institute. Things are rinsed very thoroughly, but the mechanical impact on them is minimal

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.

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.

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.
