Frequently Asked Questions - GD 498-80 CANDY
What is the maximum load capacity?
The Candy GD 498-80 can handle up to 8 kg of dry laundry. Overloading may affect wash quality and increase energy consumption.
How do I clean the detergent drawer?
Remove the drawer by pressing the release catch and sliding it out. Rinse it under warm water and clean the recess with a brush. Replace it once dry. Regular cleaning prevents mould and detergent buildup.
What should I do if the machine doesn't drain?
Check the drain pump filter for blockages and ensure the drain hose is not kinked. Clean the filter behind the bottom cover. If the issue persists, contact technical support.
How do I use the delayed start?
Load the laundry and select a program. Press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the delay (up to 24 hours). Then press Start/Pause. The machine will begin after the set time.
Is it safe to install in a bathroom?
The machine is designed for standard indoor installation. It has IPX4 water splash protection, so it's safe in a bathroom as long as it's not directly in contact with water spray.
How often should I descale?
Descale every 3 months using a descaler or citric acid. Run an empty hot cycle (90°C) with the descaling agent to remove limescale and keep the heating element efficient.
Can I wash a duvet?
Yes, if the duvet is machine-washable and fits loosely in the drum. Use the Duvet program (if available) or a gentle program at 40°C with a reduced spin speed. Check the care label first.
What does child lock do?
The child lock prevents accidental button presses during a cycle. Activate it by holding the Child Lock button for 3 seconds. Deactivate similarly.
Why is my laundry not spinning properly?
Check that the spin speed is set high enough and the load is balanced. Distributing towels evenly helps. Also verify that the filter isn't clogged.
How can I access spare parts?
Spare parts can be ordered from authorized Candy dealers or online. Have your model number (GD 498-80) ready. Most parts like hinges, filters, and belts are repairable.
