Symbols on the Candy washing machine

The secret of gentle washing lies in specially selected programs in which the water temperature, cycle duration and spin force are adjusted. After filling the drum and pressing one button, you can pick up clean items after a while. But this will be possible for those who know the decoding of all available images on the control panel of the unit. Having deciphered the icons on the washing machine, you can forget about manual settings and start using the additional capabilities of your machine. Most of the symbols are the same for all manufacturers, but Candy machines also have their own secrets.

Icons for washing modes

In order not to check the available modes by trial and error, it is recommended to immediately look at the store instructions or find the user manual on the Candy company website. A more pleasant and faster way is not to rummage through boxes and look for a technical description of a particular model, but to get acquainted with the list of commonly found icons on washing machines from a given company.

1. Two drops and a plus sign on the left. It stands for “Aqua-plus” and means additional rinsing due to the use of a large volume of water. Thanks to intensive washing, clothes are cleaned of soapy substances and odors, which is important when washing children's clothes and clothes for allergy sufferers. Increases washing time by an average of half an hour.
2. T-shirt with black spots. The “Intensive Wash” mode is necessary for washing heavily soiled items. High temperature, long cycle and maximum spin speed remove stubborn stains without leaving a trace.
3. Clock and triangle on the right.The “Delayed Start” function, with which you can set the automatic start of the cycle during the day.
4. Basin and watering can. Involves regular rinsing for 40 minutes. Cycle times may vary.
   
5. Pelvis and the letter "R". This is the “Pre-wash” program, which is a more effective analogue of manual soaking. Selected for heavily soiled laundry and is an addition to the main mode.
6. Three balls of wool. Ideal program for washing wool and cashmere items. It features a slow rotation of the drum and lasts about 60 minutes.
7. Taz and "32". A type of express wash that lasts exactly 32 minutes at standard 30 degrees.
8. Cloud and downward arrow. Delicate wash mode designed specifically for cleaning linen and cotton. For an impeccable result, the water is heated to +90°C, and the entire cycle lasts from 70 to 170 minutes.

These icons are basic; they are on the front panel of every Candy washing machine. However, there are brands with rarely encountered designations. Among them are several of the most popular models of the Italian manufacturer.

Rare badges

The models mentioned will require additional explanation as some modes are indicated by non-standard images. Let’s look at what each icon means using specific examples. Thus, the Candy Aquamatic 2D1140-07 brand offers the following special modes:

1. Snowflake. Turning off the water heating, which is often necessary for fabrics not intended for washing in a hot environment. Lasts 50 minutes and easily replaces delicate hand washing.
2. The word "Sport". Used for sportswear and shoes and lasts 70 minutes.
3. The number "44" with an apostrophe. Speed ​​wash at 30 degrees for 44 minutes.
4. The number "32" with an apostrophe. Similar to the previous express wash with a duration of 32 minutes.

Candy Aqua 104D2-07, in addition to those discussed, has only one special mode, designated “M&W”. The full decoding is “Mix and Wash System,” which translates as “mixing and washing system.” With this program, you can wash different types of fabric in one cycle, focusing only on color. The Candy CS4 1071DB1/2 model also has rare buttons.

1. "SUPER R" inscription. This means “Super Wash” – reducing the duration of any previously selected program by 50 minutes.
2. Basin and jet from above. Super rinse, similar to the Aqua-plus mode.
3. Downward jet. A type of rinsing with basic parameters (end of cycle and half-hour duration).
4. Spiral, sprayer and drops. Involves conditioning, aromatization and softening of fabric.
5. Triangle and "CL". A special program designed to remove organic contaminants.
6. Letter "Z". Exclusion of the drain function from the cycle.

By remembering the described options for the panel buttons of Kandy machines, you can make your laundry easier, fight stains more effectively, and also save water and light consumption. Before starting the machine, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the icons of the main buttons. There are also some nuances here.

Basic button icons

In addition to the mode switch, there are main buttons that also have symbols. There are usually no more than two such keys in Kandy and they are indicated by symbols standard for all household appliances. It’s difficult to get confused here, but you should learn about these buttons first, since you will have to use them most often.

Using the key with the image of a triangle and two parallel sticks, you can pause the started cycle at any stage of the wash.The button is called “Start/Pause” and occupies a central position on the control panel or is slightly offset from the center to the right.

The unit can be turned off in one of two ways: through the “ON/OFF” key or by rotating the program selector to the “OFF” mark.

Before starting the wash, it is important to study the capabilities of the washing machine and find the optimal mode for the prepared laundry. Owners of Kandy slot machines no longer have this problem - the above detailed descriptions of the main icons and images do not create grounds for doubt and reasoning.
