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