Delicate wash cycle in Candy washing machine

One of the advantages of budget Candy washing machines is their sophisticated programming. The machine's memory includes not only standard but also specialized modes for caring for different types of fabrics. Let's explore the purpose of the Candy washing machine's delicate wash cycle and describe the basic parameters of the algorithm.

Features of this algorithm

Let's look at how Candy machines work when running a delicate wash cycle. When the mode is activated, the machine washes items in a large amount of water, while the drum rotates very slowly. During its work, the “home assistant” constantly stops to soak things in a soapy solution.

So, after the algorithm starts, the washing machine fills the tank with water. The machine then spins the drum several times and stops. Then, the spinning and pauses alternate, with the soaking time steadily increasing.

The idea behind the "Delicate Wash" cycle is to soak the laundry in a large amount of soapy water, ensuring minimal mechanical impact on the fabric.

This mode is suitable for the most delicate fabrics—satin, lace, silk, acrylic, etc. The risk of damaging the laundry when starting the program is minimal, as the items are essentially floating in water, and the drum rotates only slightly and very slowly.

When the delicate wash cycle is activated, the water temperature is raised to 40°C. You can reduce the temperature if necessary. A pre-wash cycle is not available for this cycle, so powder should only be added to the main compartment of the detergent dispenser. Fabric softener can be used.

The "Delicate Wash" cycle allows for a minimum drum load. If your Candy washing machine is designed for a 6 kg load, then when using the gentle cycle, you can only load 1.5 kg of laundry. This means you can load 1/4 of the maximum capacity.

The average cycle duration is 59 minutes. Adjusting the settings will change the duration. For example, enabling an additional rinse will increase the cycle time.

Purpose of SM Candy programs

Now it’s clear what kind of clothes the “Delicate Wash” program is intended for. Candy washing machines also have other interesting algorithms in their memory that allow them to care for different types of fabric. Let's present a description of the most popular modes recorded in the intelligence of Candy automatic machines.

• "Cotton." A standard program designed for washing moderately soiled cotton items. The cycle temperature can be adjusted from 30 to 60 degrees Celsius. Spinning is performed at maximum speed by default, but a lower speed is possible. This program is one of the most energy-efficient.
• "White Cotton." This setting is similar to the previous one, but is recommended for light-colored items.
• Eco: This algorithm allows you to save water and energy. Suitable for washing fabrics of various colors and textures.
• Wool. This cycle involves washing with a large amount of water and minimal drum rotation. Similar to the delicate cycle. Suitable for wool and acrylic items.
• Hand wash. Another gentle cycle designed to care for the most delicate fabrics. Spinning is performed at minimum speed and can be turned off if needed.
• Synthetics. A standard program designed for synthetic and blended fabrics. Suitable for colored items.
• Rinse. This step is included in every program. You can also add it to thoroughly remove detergent residue from the fabric fibers.
• Drain and spin. An algorithm used to complete a wash cycle. It can be connected separately if needed for cycles that do not require a drain.
• Sport+ 39. Quickly refreshes sportswear. The drum heats up to a maximum of 40°C. The cycle takes approximately 40 minutes.
• Hygiene+ 59. This program is designed for washing cotton items. The temperature can reach 90°C. Suitable for heavily soiled clothing.
• Eco 14/30/44. This algorithm, found on some modern Candy models, significantly reduces kilowatt-hour and water consumption. The cycle runs for 14, 30, or 44 minutes. This time allows you to refresh lightly soiled laundry. When using this mode, only a few items of clothing can be loaded into the drum.
• Mixed and Colored Fabrics. This algorithm allows you to "mix" items for washing by both fabric type and color. The cycle duration is 59 minutes. It's ideal for everyday laundry.
• Ideal 59. As the name suggests, the manufacturer considers this program universal, suitable for everyday washing. The program runs for almost an hour. For best results, it's recommended not to overload the drum. Suitable for cotton and blended items.
• Daily 49. Another algorithm designed for everyday washing. Ideal for small loads. The cycle takes an average of 49 minutes. The water temperature is 30-40°C.

A description of all washing programs is provided in the equipment instructions.

This variety of algorithms on Candy washing machines helps users select the ideal settings for all types of fabrics. When choosing a mode, consider the degree of soiling, quantity, and color of the items.
