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.

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:
- Eco Mix 20 – economical washing in water at a temperature of only 20? C.
- Drain + spin – treatment without washing and rinsing, only water removal.
- Hand washing is an imitation of gentle processing, similar to washing in a basin by hand.

- Fast – processing within 30 minutes.
- 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.
