What does the Delay start indicator symbol mean on the Candy Top-loading washing machine (C.VITA)?
Flashes when a delayed start has been programmed. The first press of DELAY START turns the delay on (h00 on the display); each further press adds one hour, up to 24 hours (h24), and one more press resets it to zero. Confirm with START/PAUSE: the countdown starts and the programme begins on its own when it ends. Turning the programme selector to OFF cancels the delay. Do not use liquid detergent with a delayed start.

After START/PAUSE is pressed it flashes briefly and then stays on; if the door is not shut properly it keeps flashing for about seven seconds and the start is cancelled, so close the door and press START/PAUSE again. After the cycle a safety device keeps the door locked: wait about two minutes, until the light goes out, before opening it.

What does the Kg Check indicator symbol mean on the Candy Top-loading washing machine (C.VITA)?
Stays on during the first minutes of the cycle while a sensor weighs the load. The machine then sets the water quantity and cycle length to suit it, controls rinsing for the chosen fabric, adapts the drum rhythm, adds rinse water if it detects lather, and matches the spin speed to the load to avoid imbalance. Works only on the Cotton and Synthetics programmes.
Brand-wide meaning
What does the Night cycle option symbol mean on the Candy Top-loading washing machine (C.VITA)?

Deselect the option to finish with draining and a spin, which can be reduced or cancelled. Intermediate draining is quiet, so the cycle suits running at night.
