Detergents, washing ai
ds and amounts to use 
Choice of detergent 
General purpose detergents 
– Powder detergents , for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for 
use in hot wash programs (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry. 
–  Liquid detergents , particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, 
cosmetics and oil. 
– These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain 
bleach. 
–  Biological detergents , not all the products available give a really through wash. 
Special detergents 
– Detergents for coloureds and delicates, without added bleach, also often without any 
optical brightening agents, to preserve the colour. 
–  Detergents for a thorough wash , without added bleach or enzymes, particularly suit-
able for handling woollen fibres. 
–  Detergents for curtains  with optical brightening agents, resistant to light, to prevent 
yellowing from sunlight. 
–  Special detergents  for programmed use of chemical substances, depending on fabric 
type, degree of soiling and water hardness. 
Here basic detergents, softeners, bleaches/stain removers can be added separately. 
Additional laundry aids 
–  Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as 
hard to very hard. 
–  Prewash substances , for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash. 
Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free 
detergents. 
–  Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics. 
If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener. 
 
Do not put solvents in the washing machine! 
Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children’s reach. 
Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent 
drawer. 
Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instruc-
tions.

Dosages 
Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine. 
You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products 
and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as 
well as the type of 
detergent to choose. 
The amount of detergent to use depends on: 
–  water hardness , depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, 
it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent. 
–  the degree of soiling , it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on 
the degree of soiling. 
–  amount of laundry , it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a 
small amount of laundry. 
The amounts shown on pack for detergents for washing delicates often already refer to a 
reduced wash size. 
Follow the dosage instructions! 
 
Dosage for powder detergent 
For normal and low concentration detergents : for normally soiled laundry choose a 
program without prewash. 
Put the detergent in compartment  2 of the drawer. 
For heavily soiled laundry, choose a program with prewash. 
Put 1/4 of the detergent in compartment 1 , 3/4 in compartment 2 of the drawer. 
When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, then add the softener to compart-
ment  2. 
For highly concentrated detergents not in single dose format, follow what is shown on pack 
exactly as regards type and amount of dosage. 
To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the dosage aids 
provided in the detergent packaging. 
 
Liquid detergent dosage 
Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant packag-
ing, for all programs without prewash, by using the special container which is placed in the 
drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents.

Program selector
 
For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt 
the washing machine has different program bands accord-
ing to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see 
table of washing cycle programs).
 
 
1. Resistant fabrics 
The programs have been designed for a maximum wash and the rinses, with 
spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing. 
The final spin gives more efficient removal of water. 
 
 
 
 
2. Mixed and synthetic fabrics 
The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation 
rhythms 
of the drum and to the water levels. 
A gentle spin will mean that  the fabrics become less creased. 
 
 
 
3. Special delicate fibres 
This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is par-
ticularly recommended for very delicate fabrics. 
The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure 
best results. 
 
 
 
 Special WOOL PROGRAM  
The special cycle enables to thoroughly wash garments without damaging 
them. The cycle comprises of alternate periods of activity and pauses. The 
program has a maximum temperature of 30° and concludes with 3 rinses 
and a short spin. 
 
30 
Special program “HAND WASH” 
This washing machine also has a gentle Hand Wash program cycle. This 
program allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as “Hand 
Wash only” on the fabric care label.  The program has a temperature of 30°C 
and concludes with 3 rinses and a slow spin.

4. Special programs  
Special “RINSE” program 
This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin (which can 
be excluded by using the correct button). 
 It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric, e.g. use after hand-washing. 
 
 
Special “FAST SPIN” program 
Program “FAST SPIN” carries out a maximum spin (which can be reduced 
by using the correct button). 
 
 
Special “DRAIN ONLY” program
 
This program drains out the water. 
 
 
“MIX & WASH SYSTEM” PROGRAM 
This is an exclusive Candy system and involves 2 great advantages for the 
consumer: 
- to be able to wash together different type of fabrics (e.g. cotton + syn-
thetic etc…)  NON-FAST COLOUREDS; 
- to wash with a considerable energy saving. 
The  Mix & Wash  program has a temperature of 40°C and alternate dy-
namic phases (the basket that turns) to static phases (fabrics in soak in 
phase of rest) with a duration program that almost reaching the 2 hours. 
The energy consumption for the complete cycle is only 850 W/h. 
 
“44 MINUTE“ rapid program 
A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin), able to wash in approxi-
mately 44 minutes: 
- a maximum load of 3 kg; 
- lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics) 
We recommend, with this programme, a 30% detergent loading dose (com-
pared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste. 
 
32 MINUTE rapid program 
The 32 minute rapid program allows a complete washing cycle to be carried 
out in approximately 30 minutes, with up to a maximum load of 2 kg and a 
temperature of 30°C. 
When selecting the 32 minute rapid program, please note that we recom-
mend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the de-
tergent pack. 
 
Important: 
- the first washing of new coloureds fabrics must be done separately; 
- in every case,  never mix FAST COLOUREDS fabrics .

Main wash 
Auto half load 
The washing machine is fitted with 
a self adjusting water level system. 
This system enables the machine to use the  amount of water needed to wash and rinse 
the laundry in relation to the particular load. 
This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used, without in any way compromis-
ing the washing and rinsing performance. 
In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes 
load. 
The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost 
whilst respecting the environment. 
 
Sorting the laundry 
– It is recommended you wash only items which are washable with water and detergent 
and not dry-clean items. 
– If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them. 
– Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: follow 
the labeling in the garments.
 
 
Laundry for hot wash  
 
Coloured, easy-care materials    
Delicates and wool   
– Items labeled with the following symbols are not suitable for machine washing: 
Dry clean 
      Do not wash  
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to 
use a laundry net or wash bag. 
– Woollen items must be labeled with the «Pure New Wool» symbol to be washed in the 
machine 
, and must also be labeled «non-matting» or «machine washable». 
– Colour often leaks from new coloured items. This can then colour other lighter items be-
ing washed. 
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for  the first time sepa-
rately. 
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with white laundry up to 40°C.

Note:  
when sorting laundry 
- 
check there are no metal objects in the laundry (such as 
paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins etc...);  
- in the event of a machine failure during the warranty pe-
riod and foreign objects are found to be the cause of the 
failure a labour charge may be made for the call out an en-
gineer;  
- button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye fasten-
ers, belts and long dressing gown cords; 
- remove curtain hooks;  
- pay close attention to the labels on items;  
- if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the laundry, 
remove them using a special detergent or a special stain 
remover.  
 
 
We recommend that you  do not do a full load of just towelling items as these become too 
heavy since they absorb a lot of water, and may become too heavy for the drum.
 
Variable capacity 
This washing machine automatically adapts the level of the water to the type and quantity 
of washing. In this way it is  also possible to obtain a “personalized” wash from an energy 
saving point of view. 
This system gives a decrease in energy cons umption and a sensible reduction in washing 
times. 
The correct way to wash

ect and sort the laundry according to the wash care labels
