FAULT
If the fault should persist, contact a Candy Technical Assistance Centre. For prompt servicing, give the model of
the washing machine, to be found on the label placed on the cabinet inside of the porthole or on the
guarantee certificate.
Important
1 The use of environment friendly detersives without phosphates may produce the following effects:
- The discharge rinse water may result cloudier due to the presence of zeolites in suspension. This does not
compromise the efficiency of the rinses.
- The presence of white powder (zeolites) on the washing at the end of the washing cycle. This does not
remain incorporated in the fabric and does not alter the colour.
- The presence of foam in the last rinse water which is not necessarily a sign of inadequate rinsing.
- The non-ionic surface-active agents present in the composition of washing machine detersives are often
difficult to remove from the washing itself and, even in small quantities, may produce visible signs of the
formation of foam.
- Carrying out further rinses, in cases such as this, is not useful.
2 If your washing machine fails to function, carry out the above-mentioned checks before calling the Candy
Technical Assistance Service.

FILTER CLEANING
The washing-machine is
equipped with a special filter
to retain large foreign matter
which could clog up the
drain, such as coins, buttons,
etc.These can, therefore,
easily be recovered.The
procedures for cleaning the
filter are as follows:
● Ease off the base as shown
in fig.
● Use the base as a tray to
collect leftover water in filter.
● Loosen the screw holding
the filter.
● Turn the filter anticlockwise
till it stops in vertical position.
● Remove and clean.
● After cleaning, replace by
turning the notch on the end
of the filter clockwise.Then
follow all procedures
described above in reverse
order.
REMOVALS OR LONG PERIODS
WHEN THE MACHINE IS LEFT
STANDING
For eventual removals or
when the machine is left
standing for long periods in
unheated rooms, the drain
hose should be emptied of
all remaining water.
The appliance must be
switched off and unplugged.
A bowl is needed. Detach
the drainage hose from the
clamp and lower it over the
bowl until all the water is
removed.
Repeat the same operation
with the water inlet hose.
PT
LIMPEZA DO FILTRO
A máquina dispõe de um filtro
especial, concebido para
recolher objectos grandes que
poderiam impedir a descarga de
água (moeds, botões, etc.),
possibilitando, desta forma, uma
fácil recuperação desses
objectos.
Este filtro, que se encontra atrás
do rodapé, deverá ser limpo a
intervalos regulares.
Para maior segurança, siga
atentamente estas instruções:
●
Desligue a ficha do cabo de
alimentação de corrente da
tomada, e esvazie a máquina de
toda a água.
●
Remova o rodapé da máquina
como representado na figura.
●
Utilize o rodapé para recolher a
água existente no filtro.
●
Desaperte o parafuso de
fixação do filtro.
●
Rode a tampa do filtro no
sentido contrário ao dos
ponteiros do relógio até atingir o
batente (posição vertical).
●
Retire o filtro e limpe-o.
●
Depois de limpo, volte a
colocar o filtro, assegurando-se
de que a saliência esteja
perfeitamente alinhada com o
respectivo recorte, e rode o filtro
no sentido dos ponteiros do
relógio. Siga as instruções acima
referidas pela sua ordem inversa
para voltar a colocar a tampa do
filtro, o rodapé, etc.
O QUE FAZER SE MUDAR A
MÁQUINA DE SÍTIO OU SE A
MÁQUINA ESTIVER MUITO TEMPO
SEM FUNCIONAR
Caso tenha de transportar a
máquina, ou sempre que esta
estiver sem trabalhar por um
período de tempo prolongado
num local não aquecido, deverá
escoar totalmente a água de
todas as mangueiras.
Para tal, deverá desligar
previamente a máquina da
corrente, retirando a respectiva
ficha da tomada. Irá necessitar
de um recipiente para recolher a
água.
Solte o tubo de alimentação de
água do respectivo suporte,
puxe-o para baixo e esvazie toda
a água para un recipiente depois
da água ter sido esvaziada volte
a colocar o tubo no respectivo
suporte.
Repita esta operação para o
tubo de esgoto da água.
