CHAPTER 12
CLEANING AND ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE
Do not use abrasives, spirits and/or diluents on
the exterior of the washing machine. It is
sufficient to use a damp cloth.
The washing machine requires very little
customer maintenance:
●
Cleaning detergent drawer compartments.
●
Moving house or long periods when the
machine is left standing.
CLEANING THE DRAWER COMPARTMENTS
Although not strictly necessary, it is advisable to
clean the detergent, and additive
compartments occasionally.
Clean with water.
MOVING HOUSE OR DURING LONG
PERIODS WHEN THE MACHINE IS LEFT
STANDING
After moving house or when the machine is left
standing for long periods in an unheated room,
the drain hose should be emptied of all of the
remaining water.
The appliance must be switched off and
unplugged. A bowl is needed. Detach the
drainage hose and lower it over the bowl until
all the water is removed.
Repeat the same operation with the water inlet
hose.

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.
