FAQs
How do I use the delay start function?
Press the Delay Start button and use the arrow buttons to set the desired delay time (up to 24 hours). Then, press the Start/Pause button to activate the delay.
How often should I clean the detergent drawer?
It is recommended to clean the detergent drawer regularly, ideally every few weeks, or when you notice a buildup of detergent and fabric softener.
What should I do if the machine is vibrating excessively?
Make sure the machine is placed on a level surface. Also, ensure the load is balanced. If the problem persists, reduce the load size or redistribute the items inside the drum.
What is the Kilo Detector, and how does it work?
The Kilo Detector uses sensors to detect the size of the load and automatically adjusts the amount of water and electricity used, helping to conserve resources and reduce waste.
How do I access the smart features of the washing machine?
Download the Candy Simply-Fi app on your Android smartphone, enable NFC, and bring your phone close to the washing machine to access additional features, tips, and troubleshooting information.
What types of detergents can I use?
You can use liquid or powder detergents, as well as fabric softeners. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent packaging for dosage.
How do I clean the pump filter?
Locate the pump filter at the bottom front of the machine. Open the small access panel, place a container to catch water, unscrew the filter, and remove any debris. Rinse the filter and re-install it.
Troubleshooting
The washing machine won't turn on.
Check if the machine is properly plugged in and the power outlet is working. Also, check the fuse.
The machine is not filling with water.
Ensure the water tap is fully open and check the water inlet hose for any kinks or blockages. Verify that the water pressure is adequate.
The machine is not draining water.
Check the drain hose for any blockages or kinks. Clean the pump filter, typically located at the bottom front of the machine. Make sure the drain hose is at the correct height.
The machine is making unusual noises.
Ensure the machine is level. Check for any items, like coins, that may have gotten caught in the drum or pump.
Clothes are still wet after the cycle.
Check if the spin cycle is selected and if the load is balanced. Reduce the load size if necessary, and ensure that the drain hose is not blocked.
