Troubleshooting

Appliance not starting

Ensure the appliance is plugged in and the door is fully closed. Check your household fuse or circuit breaker. If using a delay start, ensure it hasn't been activated.

Washer dryer not draining or spinning

Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the drain filter as it may be clogged with lint or debris.

Excessive vibration or noise

Ensure the appliance is level on the floor. Check that transit bolts have been removed (if recently installed). Distribute laundry evenly within the drum.

Poor drying performance

Ensure the load does not exceed the 5 kg drying capacity. Check and clean the condenser dryer filter and the main drain filter. Ensure the door seal is clean and the room has adequate ventilation.

NFC connectivity not working

Confirm you are using a compatible Android device and have the Candy simply-Fi app installed and open. Ensure NFC is enabled on your phone and the phone is held close to the NFC mark on the appliance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is an integrated appliance, meaning it is designed to be built into your kitchen cabinetry. Installation requires customisation of kitchen units to house the appliance and attach a cabinet door to its front. Ensure the appliance is level and that adequate ventilation is provided as per the installation manual.

Compatibility:

  • NFC Connectivity: Requires a compatible Android smartphone with NFC capabilities and the Candy simply-Fi app installed.
  • Water Supply: Connects to a cold water fill supply only.
  • Cabinetry: Dimensions (H × W × D): 820 × 600 × 530 mm. Please verify your cabinet dimensions to ensure a proper fit.

Care Instructions:

  • Drum Cleaning: Run a high-temperature cycle (e.g., 90°C Cotton) periodically with an empty drum and a specific drum cleaning product to remove residue and prevent odours.
  • Filter Cleaning: The filter, typically located at the bottom front of the machine, should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly). Unplug the machine, drain any residual water, and carefully unscrew and clean the filter.
  • Door Seal: Wipe the rubber door seal after each wash to remove lint and prevent mould build-up.
  • Exterior: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Sensor Drying: Ensure the condenser dryer area is kept clean and free of lint for optimal performance.
