Candy Cdb 854 D Manual

							
Dosages
Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine.
You will obtain the best results from your wash with the mini mum use of chemical products
and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideratio n 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 an d 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 d etergent when washing only a
small amount of laundry.
Dosage for powder detergent
For normal and low concentration detergents : for normally soiled laundry choose a
programme without prewash.
Put the detergent in compartment  “II” of the drawer.
For heavily soiled laundry, choose a programme with prewash.
Put  1/4 of the detergent in compartment  “I”, 3/4 in compartment  “II”of the drawer.
When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, the n add the softener to compartment “II”.
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 be en taken up, use the dosage aids
provided in the detergent packaging.
Liquid detergent dosage
Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructio ns on the relevant
packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the speci al container which is
placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in th e special insert for liquid detergents.

Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use
Choice of detergent
General purpose detergents 
- Powder detergents , for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly su itable for
use in hot wash programmes (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 laund ry, as they do not contain
bleach.
- Biological detergents , not all the products available give a really thorough wash .
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 temperat ure 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 rea ch.
Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no forei gn bodies in the detergent
drawer.
Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging.  Follow those instructions.

Main wash
Sorting the laundry
-  It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and 
detergent and not dry-clean items.
-  If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it i s best not to spin them.
-  Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling a nd wash temperature: Always
follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most  suitable care and 
treatment of the laundry 
Laundry for hot wash 
Coloured, easy-care materials 
Delicates and wool 
Wash by hand 
Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable  for machine washing:
Dry clean 
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights e tc., you are advised to 
use a laundry net or wash bag.
-   Woollen items must be labelled with the Pure New Wool symb ol to be washed in the 
machine and must also be labelled non-matting or machine washa ble.
-   Colour often leaks from new coloured items. This can then colour other lighter items being washed. 
We therefore  recommend that coloured items should be washed fo r the first time 
separately.
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whi tes 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...);
- button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye fasteners, 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 towellin g items only as these become too
heavy since they absorb a lot of water.

Useful advice for users
Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentall y-friendly and economical
way
Do a full load in your washing machine
To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent w e recommend that you put a
full load in your washing machine, not exceed the recommended  maximum load size.
Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load comp ared to two half load washes
When is prewashing really needed?
Only with particularly dirty loads!
Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash  option for normal soiled
laundry.
Which wash temperature should you choose?
Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to w ash at temperatures
over 60°C.
Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash t emperature rather than
90°C
Before using a drying programme...
SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce th e water content in laundry
before using a drying programme.

DRYING
DON’T DRY GARMENTS MADE FROM FOAM RUBBER
OR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
IMPORTANT: 
THIS DRYER CAN ONLY BE USED  FOR LAUNDRY
WHICH HAS BEEN WASHED AND SPIN DRIED.
WARNING:  
Indications given are general, therefore some practice is needed for the best drying results.
We recommend setting a lower drying time than indicated, when  first using, so as to
establish the degree of dryness required. We recommend not to dry  fabrics that fray easily,
such as rugs or garments with a deep pile, to avoid air duct clo gging. 
The water is then conveyed to the drain circuit, wich is sealed  and therefore, no steam can
be released outside.
Important
Never open the door after the drying cycle has begun -
wait until the cool down period provided for by the
cycle.
Only dry pre-spun laundry
The washer/dryer can perform two types of drying:
1 Cotton, terry towelling, linen, hemp fabrics, etc...                     symbol on programme dial.

USEFUL TIPS:
Do not dry unwashed items in the washer dryer.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil,  acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be  washed in hot
water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried  in the washer dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textil\
 es, rubber backed
articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads sh ould not be dried in the
washer dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified b y the fabric softener
instructions.
The final part of a washer dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool d own cycle) to ensure that
the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the it ems will not be damaged.
WARNING:
Never stop a washer dryer before the end of the drying cycle unle ss all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
The time remaining shown on the digital display will show  the time remaining for a
full load. However, this will be corrected during the cycle o nce the appliance
assesses the weight and dampness of the laundry.

Cleaning and routine maintenance
Do not use alcohol-based scourers and / or thinners on the outsi de of your washing machine,
just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing ma chine needs very little maintenance:
- Cleaning the drawer compartments.
- Cleaning the door glass.
Cleaning the drawer compartments
Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the
compartments for bleaching detergents and additives
occasionally.
A)  To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but without forcing them.
B)  Clean everything in the compartment under running water.
C)  Put everything back in its proper place.
Cleaning the door glass
Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build
up of soiling and
residues from the water may result in water leaking from
the door.
Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the
surface.
Transporting the appliance or long
periods when appliance is not in
use
If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for
long periods in unheated places, all remaining water
must be completely removed from the hoses.
Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and
point it downwards into a basin until all the water has
emptied out.
When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order. 
						

							
Note:
The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects:
- waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence  of zeolites held in
suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affecte d;
- presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing,  which is not absorbed by
the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric.
- The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not nece ssarily an indication of poor
rinsing.
- Anionic surfactants used in washing detergent formulae often  prove to be difficult to
remove from the laundry itself and, even in small quantities, ca n still cause considerable
foam production.
- Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.\

Investigating malfunctions
What might be the cause of…
Defects you can remedy yourself

MALFUNCTION
CAUSE REMEDY
The machine makes a
different noise when
spinning! This is because it
has a brush motor for better
performance. Only a small level of water can be
seen in the drum! This is because
new machines do not use much
water, yet achieve the same standard
of washing and rinsing.
