This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient operation of your Candy RapidÓ washing machine. Always keep this manual accessible for future reference.
Installation
Before using the machine, ensure all transit bolts are removed to prevent damage. Remove the 2 or 4 transportation screws (A) on the back and remove the flat washers, rubber bungs, and plastic spacer tubes (B). Cover the holes with the provided plastic caps. Level the machine by adjusting the feet until it is stable on the floor.
Water and Electrical Connections
Connect the water inlet hose only to the cold water supply using the provided hose. Do not reuse old hoses. Ensure the electrical system is earthed and the socket is compatible with the plug. Do not use adapters or extension cords.
Detergent Drawer
The drawer has three compartments: 1 for prewash, the middle compartment for softeners/additives, and 2 for main wash detergent. If using liquid detergent, use the provided cup in compartment 2.
Operation and Wi-Fi
Turn the SMART RING to select a program. The display will show the program details. To use Wi-Fi, download the Candy simply-Fi app, create a profile, and follow the instructions to enroll the appliance. Turn the SMART RING to the REMOTE CONTROL (Wi-Fi) position to enable app control.
Maintenance
Clean the detergent drawer regularly to prevent residue buildup. Clean the pump filter 5 or 6 times a year to remove debris like coins or buttons. Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
Troubleshooting
If the machine displays an error (e.g., E2, E3, E4, E7), refer to the troubleshooting section. For example, E2 indicates a water loading issue, while E3 indicates a drainage issue. Ensure the filter is clean and hoses are not kinked.
