Candy washing machine icons

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 everyone and 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 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.

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.
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.
Clock and triangle on the right. The “Delayed Start” function, with which you can set the automatic start of the cycle during the day.
Basin and watering can. Involves regular rinsing for 40 minutes. Cycle times may vary.
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.
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.
Taz and "32". A type of express wash that lasts exactly 32 minutes at standard 30 degrees.
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.

Decoding the icons on the panel of the Candy washing machine

On the control panel of most machines, the user most often encounters the following symbols:

An icon depicting two drops and a plus sign. This option means an additional rinse with more water. Increases the cycle time by about half an hour, but allows you to better rinse out any remaining detergent. This option will be relevant for families with small children, allergy sufferers, and also in cases where more washing powder was added than necessary.
T-shirt icon with dark spots. Intensive wash that allows you to thoroughly wash fabrics with stubborn stains. Stain removal is ensured by high temperature and long program duration. The spin is performed at maximum speed.
Image of a clock with a triangle. Delayed start function. Allows you to postpone the startup of the device for up to 24 hours. For example, you can set up a machine so that it completes a cycle when the owner comes home from work.
An icon depicting a container with a watering can. Additional rinse. Lasts from 30 to 40 minutes depending on the set mode.
A basin with the letter "P" inside. Preliminary. Increases cycle time for better washing of heavily soiled items. The powder must be added to the appropriate reservoir in the cuvette.
The icon with the image of three balls of wool is intended for washing items made of wool, cashmere and viscose. Duration – up to 55 minutes. The peculiarity of this cycle is the smooth rocking of the drum.
Capacity and number 32. Quick program for refreshing or washing lightly soiled items at a water temperature of 50°C. Duration – 32 minutes.
Icon with a picture of a cloud and a down arrow. Mode for light and colored cotton fabrics. It has different temperatures available (from 30° to 90°C), a pre-wash option, a maximum spin by default, but can be changed at the user’s discretion.
Image of a flask. Designed for synthetic and mixed fabrics. Cleans items efficiently and carefully at temperatures from 30°C to 60°C with pre-wash.
Delicate program (feather icon). For things made of acrylic, etc. Performed at 40°C and in an increased amount of water to be gentle on the fabric.
Hand wash (container in which the hand is placed). Intended for products that have the designation “manual” on the label. Performed at 30°C.

Some Candy machines offer the user the following programs:

Snowflake icon. Performed in cold water. Intended for materials whose heating is unsafe. Duration: 50 minutes, can be used as a hand wash for delicate fabrics.
Sport mode. Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes, used for sportswear and shoes.
Number 44 and apostrophe. Quick wash at 30°C for 44 minutes. Designed for lightly soiled items.
Number 32 and apostrophe. Similar to the previous one, but performed within 32 minutes. Used to freshen items worn daily (underwear, shirts, etc.).
Triangle with letters CL. Designed to effectively remove stains of organic origin.
M&W. Mix&Wash System program. This mode is used to wash mixed fabrics together, such as cotton and synthetics. The duration of the program is approximately three hours, the temperature is 40°C. Due to the long time and low water temperature, significant energy savings occur.

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:

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.
The word "Sport". Used for sportswear and shoes and lasts 70 minutes.
The number "44" with an apostrophe. Speed wash at 30 degrees for 44 minutes.
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.

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

ASK CANDY

An Energy Label is an information document that describes the energy consumption of an electrical household appliance so that the consumer can properly evaluate the characteristics of the purchased model. Energy labeling is now required by law in all countries of the European Union. This information summary is required for most electrical appliances powered by an electrical source (ovens, washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers, televisions, etc.), the seller must provide it without fail, even if the device is purchased on the Internet .

Let's take a closer look at what information is contained on energy labels and how it should be interpreted.

Where is the energy label located and how is it interpreted?

According to European regulations, the energy label must be placed in a visible place on household appliances. The Energy Label provides the following information:

• manufacturer and model;

• energy class to which the device belongs;

• consumption in kW (kilowatts);

• energy consumption corresponding to specific functional units of a household appliance (for example, a washing machine centrifuge);

• additional technical data given in the form of symbols and graphs (capacity, water consumption, noise level, etc.)

Energy classes of household electrical appliances

There are currently 7 energy levels , labeled A to G, with additional colored arrows on the labels for clarity, with green indicating maximum energy efficiency and red indicating less optimized performance. The categories that provide the greatest savings are classes A+++ , A++ and A+ , but not all household appliances (for example, ovens) can reach level A+++ for technical reasons. In category A+++ you can find an additional classification that specifies the additional energy saving of an appliance of category A+++ in relation to other household appliances of the same class (for example, A+++ -20%).

The European Union has set minimum energy efficiency standards that must be met in household appliances offered for sale: ù

• And for washing machines with a capacity of more than 3 kg

• A+ for refrigerators and freezers

• And for dishwashers In order to choose the best electrical appliance for your home, be it a dishwasher or a new kitchen hood, you need to carefully study the labeling on the Energy Label.

Accordingly, you should familiarize yourself with the given energy consumption and compare it with the purchase price, not forgetting that by purchasing a device of the latest generation with high energy efficiency, you can save significantly on electricity and water bills .

The Candy brand offers a wide range of household appliances with high levels of energy efficiency, always providing maximum performance at reasonable costs: show our entire range of products.

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 o.

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.
