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.

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.

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 washing machine body 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 can be included:

• 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.

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 20? C.
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.
