NOTE:
THE MACHINE IS FITTED WITH A SPECIAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE, WHICH PREVENTS THE SPIN CYCLE
SHOULD THE LOAD BE UNBALANCED.
THIS REDUCES THE NOISE AND VIBRATION IN THE MACHINE AND SO PROLONGS THE LIFE OF YOUR
MACHINE.
DURING DRYING PHASE THE DRUM WILL ACCELERATE TO A HIGHER SPEED TO DISTRIBUTE THE LOAD
AND TO OPTIMIZE THE DRYING PERFORMANCE

Important
1The 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.
2If your washing machine fails to function, carry out the above-mentioned checks
before calling the Candy Technical Assistance Service.
