Preparing for washing
The first stage of preparation is sorting the laundry. Dirty things are separated by:
- type of material
- color (white items are always washed separately),
- degree of contamination (old, stubborn dirt is pre-treated with a stain remover).
Before loading into the drum, all removable elements, fur trims, and large decor are removed from clothing.
The second point that should not be forgotten is the loading rate. You should not fill the washing machine drum to capacity, much less exceed the loading rate specified in the passport of the household appliance. To ensure that things are washed and rinsed well, when loading, it is recommended to leave the drum one third empty (for delicate fabrics - half).
Mode selection
The desired program is installed by turning the selector knob or pressing a button on the control panel.
Basic modes (usually focused on the type of fabric):
- Washing durable cotton and mixed fabrics (the cycle includes intensive washing, intermediate spinning and rinsing, water temperature from 30°C to 90°C).
- Washing synthetic and combined fabrics (water temperature does not exceed 50°C, moderate spin).
- Delicate wash (ideal for light, thin fabrics, involves spinning at low speeds, heating water no higher than 40°C).
- Washing woolen products (special, gentle spin cycle, rinsing in plenty of water, water temperature no higher than 30°C).
Additionally Candy washing machine equipped with programs that simplify the process of caring for clothes, helping to achieve ideal washing quality:
- “Aqua plus” mode - washing lasting 30-40 minutes, with an additional rinse cycle.
- The delayed start mode simplifies the process of starting the work cycle as much as possible. It is enough to set the appropriate start time for the working cycle so that the washing is completed at the right time.
- Additional rinse mode (duration 30-40 minutes).
- The wash mode without heating the water is used for very thin, delicate fabrics (cycle duration is fifty minutes).
- Spin button (helps change the number of spin revolutions set automatically by the program).
- Pre-wash mode (basin and letter p) (used for better washing of particularly soiled clothes).
- 44” quick wash mode (working cycle, including rinsing and spinning, lasts 44 minutes).
- 32” express wash mode (a full cycle lasts 32 minutes).
- Sport mode (water temperature not higher than 40C, rinsing in a large amount of water and active spinning).
- Hand wash mode (assumes a very low speed of rotation of the ram, water heating temperature no higher than 40C, spin at minimum speed).
Depending on the model of the washing machine, the list of functions and modes may differ. More detailed information about the functionality of a household appliance can be found in the instruction manual.

Launching the Kandy washing machine
Starting the washing process in the Candy washing machine goes according to the following algorithm:
- connect the household appliance to the network;
- load sorted laundry into the drum of the washing machine;
- washing powder is poured into a special compartment;
- select the required washing mode (water heating temperature and spin speed are adjusted automatically depending on the selected mode, but if necessary, the parameters can always be changed by turning the selector knob or pressing the corresponding button);
- close the hatch door;
- Press the “Start/Pause” button.
Washing powder is poured into a special detergent dispenser (located in the upper left corner of the front panel of the washing machine body).
The powder receptacle is divided into several compartments: on the left side - for the main wash, on the right - for the preliminary wash. In the middle there is a compartment intended for liquid bleaches and fabric softeners.
If it doesn’t turn on, what should I do?
Preparation for washing is completed (the drum is loaded, the powder is poured into the desired dispenser compartment, the required mode is selected), but for some reason the washing machine does not turn on.What to do in such a situation?
First of all, check whether the household appliance is connected to the network. If the power cord is plugged into the socket and the washing machine does not turn on, you should check the presence of electricity in the network. Alternatively, the power supply to the entire house has been stopped or the residual current device (RCD) in the panel has tripped.
Secondly, check the power cord for kinks and melted areas. If there is no visible damage to the network cable, you need to check the network interference filter (NFI). This small barrel-shaped sensor is located in the corner under the top panel of the washing machine.
Failure of the control module is another reason, why the Candy washing machine does not turn on. You can independently test the functionality of the module only if you have the knowledge and skills of such work. Otherwise, it is better to entrust testing and repair of the control module to service center professionals.
Adviсe
If there is insufficient pressure in the water supply system, the detergents, after being poured into a special container with holes, are loaded directly into the drum of the washing machine.
Clothes are loaded into the washing machine carefully, evenly distributed over the entire surface of the drum.. Things twisted into a heavy ball create a very large load on the drum, which increases vibration and noise during the washing process and reduces the service life of the household appliance.
The optimal spin rate is 600-700 rpm. Frequent use of the spin mode at 800 or more revolutions quickly damages the bearing assembly.
Conclusion
Strict adherence to simple rules for preparing and starting the washing process will allow you to operate the Candy washing machine without problems for the longest possible period of time.
