The timer on your CANDY CH64CCB/4U2 cooker can be easily activated, even if you don't see an obvious symbol. Here's how:

How to activate the timer

You have two options:

Press the dedicated timer button
Or press the “+” and “-” buttons simultaneously

Conditions and steps

Important: You must first select a cooking zone and set it to a heat level above 0.

Once activated, the display shows “0 0”. Then use the “+” or “-” buttons to set the duration of the timer. The maximum programmable duration is 99 minutes.

The symbol “E” appears to indicate that the zone is timed, with a decimal point identifying the relevant zone. The countdown is displayed in the designated area. When the time expires, the cooktop beeps. Press any button to stop the alarm. You can change the value during its operation.

Question 3

The symbols on the oven buttons are worn off - how do I set the cooking modes?

Accepted Answer

If the symbols on the knobs of your CANDY CGM 6722 SHW oven are worn off, here is a guide to find the main functions.

Knob Symbols

The knobs of your oven use these symbols:

O = Oven off
Small flame = Minimum flow (for gas burners)
Large flame = Maximum flow
Numbers (1-6) = Power levels for electric plates (from 100W to 2000W depending on the model)

Oven Cooking Modes

Your CANDY CGM 6722 SHW oven offers several modes:

Natural convection = Heat distributed naturally, for classic cooking
Fan-assisted heat = Ventilation for even heat distribution, ideal for cooking multiple dishes simultaneously
Grill = Grill element only, for browning or cooking with direct heat
Rotisserie = Rotating mode for roasts and poultry
Turbo grill = Combination of grill + ventilation for faster results

Temperature Setting

The thermostat is adjustable between 140°C and 270°C. Turn the thermostat knob to select the desired temperature.

Programming and Timer

The electronic programmer allows you to:

Set the cooking duration (maximum 90 minutes)
Program the automatic shut-off of the oven
Receive an audible alarm at the end of cooking

Tip for the Rotisserie

To use the rotisserie function, skewer the piece to be cooked well-centered between the two forks, then engage it in the drive square at the back of the oven.

Question 4

On my CANDY PC PVD 605 X hob, the additional halogen zone: only the outer ring works (1200W), not the inner ring (1000W)

Accepted Answer

Your CANDY PC PVD 605 X hob features an additional halogen zone with a concentric burner: an outer ring of 1200 W and an inner ring of 1000 W that can operate independently.

If only the outer ring works, first check the correct activation of the inner zone:

Press the additional burner button
Select the inner ring with the burner selection button
Adjust the power with the +/- buttons (levels 1-9)
Check that the inner ring lights up correctly

If it still doesn't work, it is likely an issue with the internal electrical connection. According to the manual, the main causes of malfunction in a zone are related to the shunt bars that are not properly positioned on the terminal block. This requires technical intervention to check the electrical connection according to the specific diagrams of the model.

Question 5

Where does the power cable exit at the back: in the center or on one side? What is its length?

Accepted Answer

Position of the cable: The technical manual for the Candy CHG6BFB4WB does not specify whether the cable exits in the center or on one side of the back of the appliance. To know the exact position, please contact Candy support directly with the model number CHG6BFB4WB, or consult an authorized installer who has access to detailed installation diagrams.

Length of the cable: The manual does not mention the length of the power cable. For this type of gas cooker, the power cable is generally provided separately or can be ordered separately according to installation needs. We recommend checking with the seller or Candy if a cable is included with your appliance and what its length is.

Specifications of the power cable: According to the manual, the cable must be of type H05V2V2-F with a minimum cross-section of 3 x 0.75 mm². The conductors are identified by the following colors:

Brown wire: phase (L)
Blue wire: neutral (N)
Yellow and green wire: protective earth

Important: When connecting, the earth conductor (yellow and green) must extend at least 10 mm beyond the other conductors to ensure optimal protection. The cross-section of the cable must correspond to the total power of the appliance (9,450 W according to specifications). The electrical installation should be entrusted to a qualified electrician.

Question 6

Is the central button located between the + and - buttons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on the control panel of the Candy FIDC B265, the central touch button is indeed located between the " - " and " + " buttons. These three elements together form the LCD display adjustment controls, a multifunctional touch interface.

The central button serves as a function selector:

1 press: access to the timer (independent alarm function)
2 presses: access to the programmed cooking time (automatically turns off the oven at the end)
4 presses: access to the time setting (mandatory after installation or power cut)

The " - " and " + " buttons surrounding the central button allow you to increase or decrease values (hours, minutes, temperature) after activating the desired function. During adjustment, you will see the changes directly on the main LCD screen located above.

Practical tip: This touch layout has been designed for quick access. After installation, always start by pressing the central button 4 times to set the time, then adjust it with the " - " and " + " buttons. Once the time is correct, the first configuration step is complete.

Note: If the display blinks showing "12:00", it means the clock is waiting for a setting. Follow the procedure described above. The touch buttons generally produce only a slight depression when pressed, very different from a classic mechanical button.

Question 7

Is the central button tactile or mechanical?

Accepted Answer

The central button of the Candy FIDC B265 is a mechanical button, not tactile. It is a spring-loaded button that needs to be pressed down to activate, unlike the adjacent "-" and "+" keys which are tactile.

The central button serves multiple functions depending on the number of presses:

1 press: access to the timer (minute minder)
2 presses: access to cooking duration
4 presses: access to time setting

To use the central button, you press firmly on it (you will feel a slight resistance and a mechanical depression). Once the function is activated, you use the tactile keys " + " and " - " located on either side to adjust the numerical values (time, temperature, duration).

Important after installation or power cut: You must set the time (flashing "12:00" on the screen). Press the central button 4 times, then use the +/- keys to set the time before any use of the oven. Without this initial setting, the oven will not operate.

The distinction between the mechanical central button and the tactile +/- keys makes for clear usage: the central button selects the function, the tactile keys configure it.

Question 8

How do I set the time on the CANDY FIDC B265 cooker?

Accepted Answer

Setting the time is mandatory before the first use of your CANDY FIDC B265 cooker, especially after installation or a power outage.

Adjustment Procedure:

Press 4 times on the central touch button of the control panel
Use the "-" and "+" buttons located on either side of the central button to adjust the time to the desired value
Release all buttons to validate the setting

The LCD display will then show the correctly set time. Important: Your oven will only operate if the clock is correctly set. If you have any doubts about the exact location of the buttons, you will find a detailed diagram of the control panel in the complete manual.

Question 9

Why does the display stay in TEST mode and the oven does not start?

Accepted Answer

The display remains stuck in TEST mode because the clock has not been set. On this cooker, the oven can only operate if the clock is first set - this is a built-in safety feature of the model.

Solution:

Set the clock by following these steps:

Press 4 times on the central touch button (the button between the “-” and “+” keys)
Set the time using the “-” and “+” keys
Release all buttons

Once the time is set, the display will exit TEST mode and the oven will be able to operate normally. You will then be able to select a cooking mode and set the temperature.
