GAS CONNECTION
This must be done in compliance with the regulations in force in the installation country. In
all cases, on the gas feed pipe provide a stopcock, a regulator or regulator release device
for propane gas. Only use valves, regulators ends and flexible tubes, regulators with the
official mark of the installation country.
Gas connection according to installation :
Natural Rigid, Flexible hose with mechanical fittings (1) - Soft rubber tube (3)
Butane Rigid, Flexible hose with mechanical fittings (1) - Soft rubber tube (2)
Propane Rigid, Flexible hose with mechanical fittings (1) - Soft rubber tube (2-3)
1 - provided the flexible hose can be inspected for its entire length.
2 - provided the soft rubber tube can be inspected for its entire length, its length does not
exceed 1.5 metres and it is fitted with suitable clamps at the ends.
1, 2 - soft tubes and flexible hoses with mechancial fittings must be arrange to be away
from any flames, and not deteriorated by the combustion gases, hot cooker parts or by
any spills of hot food.
THREE CONNECTION OPTIONS :
•RIGID PIPE CONNECTION
Connect directly to the manifold fittings.
• CONNECTION BY FLEXIBLE HOSE WITH MECHANICAL FITTINGS
We recommend this type of connection.
Screw the hose nuts directly onto the manifold fitting on the one hand and onto the stop
cock of the piping on the other hand.
• CONNECTION BY SOFT RUBBER
We do not recommend this type of connection.
To be reserved solely for old installations not enabling any other option.

SETTING THE IDDLE FLAME
If the gas type has been altered, the stability of the flame in the minimum flow must be
checked and set by adjusting the by-pass screw.
To access the top burner by-pass screw, remove the control panel knobs. At first, pull the
disc to the front and remove the combined control knob.
a) Butane- propane gas : the setting is done by screwing right in (without forcing) the
by-pass screw whose calibrated hole provides the minimum flow.
b) Natural gas :
. unscrew the by-pass screw one turn,
. replace the combined control-knob, light the burner and set to low flame,
. remove the combined control-knob again, screw the by-pass screw until a reduced flame is
obtained, staying stable when going from high to low position.
. replace the combined control-knob.
Warning : Never loosen the others screws !
"The installation must conform to the standard directives".
CANDY declines all responsibility for any damage that may be caused by unsuitable or
unreasonable use.
Warning :
•Always check before any electrical operation, the supply tension shown on the electricity
meter, the adjustment of the circuit-breaker, the continuity of the connection to earth to
the installation and that the fuse is suitable.
• The electrical connection to the installation should be made via a socket with a plug
with earth, or via an omni pole cut-out switch with an opening gap of at least 3 mm.
If the appliance has a socket outlet, it must be installed so that the socket outlet is
accessible.

USE:eachburnerisfittedwithathermocouplefastsafety.Itisadeviceallowingthe automatic
cut-out of the gas supplying on the burner, in case the flame dies out accidentally.
•Turn on the gas tap,
• A symbol next to each control knob indicates which burner is lit.
•Press and turn the knob to position keeping it pressed
to produce sparks which in turn ignite the burner. Keep the
pressure on the control knob a few seconds to permit the
releasing of the safety device.
•Set the flame according to your cooking requirements. Intermediate positions are available
between the two positions and settings on the control knob.
•To turn the flame out, turn the control knob back to stop position.
Please note : if there is a power cut, the burner can be ignited by pressing and turning the
knob to position and holding a naked flame to the burner.
SOME TIPS ....
• Pans with curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.
•Avoid boiling food too intensely. Food is not cooked any more quickly this way. In fact, it is
subjected to severe agitation, which may cause the food to lose some of its flavour.
• To save gas, make sure that the flames do not overlap the bottom of the pan.
• Do not use the gas burner with an empty pan.
Caution : when the burners are not in service, the general gas supply tap should always be
turned off.
The various burners : the hob has burners of different dimensions.You should be aware of
the differences in power of each burner.
• use the powerful burner to bring to boil, to fry meat, and in general for any food that should
be cooked quickly.
•use the semi-rapid for slow cooking or for sauces.
• use the small burner for small pans and also for slow cooking.
For a proper use of the burners, choose pans that match the dimensions given below:
ultra-rapid Ø22 cm, semi-rapid Ø12 cm, rapid Ø16 cm, auxiliary mijorose Ø10 cm.

THE OVEN "Use"
VERY IMPORTANT : the oven and the dishwaher cannot be used at the same time.
To use the oven, you have to close the dishwasher.
When the oven is in use, any unused accessories should be removed.
OVEN EQUIPMENT
IMPORTANT : always keep small children away from the Trio while it is in use.
If the Trio is fitted with a lid, lift it up before use.
• THE CIRCUIT-BREAKER TIMER
It takes in charge the functioning of the oven, for between 1 and 120
minutes, with immediate start and automatic stop. When the time is
up, the timer automatically cuts off the power supply to the oven.
However, the oven could be used without programming. In this case,
turn the control knob to the Hand position .
Nota: to set a time,turn the controlknob clockwiseup to the120 minutes mark and thenturn
it back to the required time.
It is necessary to do an initial cleaning of the equipment before the first use of each of
them. Wash them with a sponge. Rinse and dry off.
• THE SHELF : it is for holding dishes, plates, and meat
joints when cooking with the grill. It is fitted with rails
which enables the drip tray to be slid into.
Thankstoitsspecialshape,theshelfalwaysremainshorizontal,evenwhenpulledtoitsfullest
extenttowardsthefrontoftheoven, thusavoidingtheriskof dishesslidingoffortipping over.
• THE DRIP TRAY : collects meat and grilling juices during
grilling. It can be put on the shelf, or slid under it.
Unless used with the grill, the drip tray must not be stored in
the oven while in use.
Never use the drip tray as a roasting tray. This would cause smoke to be produced, fat to be
splashed and the oven would become rapidly stained.
• THE PASTRY TRAY must be placed on the shelf. It is
for cooking small pastries like choux, biscuits, meringues,
etc...
Never place the pastry tray directly on the oven bottom.

12
THE COOKING METHODS
• Conventional cooking : the top and bottom heating elements are used together.
This method is ideal for all traditional roasting and baking, for sealing red meats, roast beef,
legoflamb, bread, flaky pastry.Preheatthe oven for abouttenminutesand place the cooking
meat in the mid shelf position.
• Grill : using the top heating element. Success is guaranteed for mixed grills, kebabs and
"gratin dishes". Five minutes preheating is required to get the element hot.
• Fan assisted grill : using the top heating element with the fan circulating the air inside
the oven. Ideal for cooking thick food items, whole pieces such as roast pork, poultry etc..
Preheating is necessary for red meats but not for white meats. Slide the drip tray under the
shelf to collect juices. Make sure that the food is not too close to the grill. Turn the food over
halfway through cooking.
• Fan cooking : both top and bottom heating elements are used with the fan circulating
the air inside the oven. We recommend you use this method for poultry, pastries, fish and
vegetables.. heat penetrates into the food better and both the cooking and preheating times
are reduced.
USE :
• Turn the control knob on the requesting
cooking method and set a temperature :
Conventional cooking Temperature from 65°C to 230°C
Grill Temperature 230°C
Fan assisted grill Temperature from 190°C to 210°C
Fan cooking Temperature from 65°C to 210°C
• Turn the control knob of the circuit-breaker timer to the Hand position or on a programming
duration.
• The regulator indicator light indicates that the thermostat is working. It goes
on and off regularly during the cooking time.

13
COOKING ADVICES
MEAT :
It is better not to salt meats until after cooking as salt encourages the meat to splatter fat.
This will dirty the oven and make a lot of smoke.
Joints of white meat, pork, veal, lamb and fish can be put into the oven cold. The cooking
time is longer than in a preheated oven, but it cooks through to the centre better as the heat
has more time to penetrate the joint.
CORRECT PRE-HEATING IS THE BASIS OF SUCCESSFUL RED MEAT COOKERY.
CAKE - PASTRIES AND BISCUITS :
Avoid using shiny moulds because they reflect heat and can spoil your cakes. If your cakes
brown too quickly, cover them with greaseproof paper or aluminium foil.
Caution : the correct way to use foil is with the shiny side inwards. If not the heat is reflected
by the shiny surface and does not penetrate the cake.
Avoid opening the door during the first 20 to 25 minutes of cooking : sponge cake, soufflés,
brioche, etc., will tend to fall.
You can check if cakes are done, by pricking the centre with a knife blade or metal knitting
needle. If the blade comes out nice and dry, your cake is ready, and you can stop the
cooking. If the blade comes out moist or with bits of cake attached, continue baking but
slightly lower the thermostat so that it finished off without burning.
The following instructions are for guidance only. You may wish to alter them according
to your own experience or your personal taste.
Pre-heating times :
. 20 minutes between 210 and 230°C
. 15 minutes between 140 and 190°C
. 10 minutes between 65 and 115°C

not to move or to tilt the dishwasher during operation.
If it is necessary to move or to tilt the dishwaher, first make sure the washing cyle is
finished and that no water is left in the tank.

17
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS AND CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT
The filtering system is composed of :
- a central filter cup which traps the largest food particles.
- a flat filter which continuously filters the washing water.
- the micro filter, situated under the flat filter, which traps the
smallest food particles ensuring a perfect rinse.
For best results, the filter unit should be checked and cleaned after each wash.
To remove the filter unit, simply grip the handle and lift the whole unit out.
The central cup is just resting on top for easy cleaning.
The dishwasher is fitted with a self cleaning micro filter, which only requires checking about
once every 15 days.
However, it is advisable to check after every wash, that the central cup and the flat filter
are not clogged.
NB : After cleaning the filters, make sure that they are correctly reassembled, one inside
the other, and that the flat filter is properly positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher.
A poor seating of the filter unit could have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the
appliance.
Important : Never use the dishwasher without filter.
LOADING DISHES
The basket has been carefully designed to make loading easy.
For good wash performance, remove any debris from the dishes (bones, tooth picks, the
remains of meat and vegetables) to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing
arm nozzle and, as a result, reducing washing efficiency.
Warning ! to avoid any injury from cutlery with blades or sharp points, they can be placed
with the handles upwards.

LOADING 4 PLACE SETTINGS PLUS CASSEROLES
Casseroles, salad bowls, soup pans, lids etc., can be loaded
on the basket.
It is advisable to arrange the cutlery in the basket provided
for that purpose. If there is any cutlery with narrow handles,
it should be placed with handles upwards, to avoid falling
through the bottom of the basket and blocking the washing
arm. Do not put wooden handled lids in the basket, or any
whose lids are bonded with resin.

18
LOADING THE DETERGENT
It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers either
in powder, liquid or tablet form.
Unsuitable detergents, (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper
ingredients for use in a dishwasher and impede the efficient functioning.
Normal wash
The detergent dispenser is inside the door. The dispenser
lid should be closed before every wash.To open it, simply
press the catch. At the end of each wash cycle the lid is
always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is
used.
The amount of detergent to be used varies according to
how dirty the dishes are and the type of wash. A 15g
dose is normally recommended. If the water is hard or the
dishes are exceptionally dirty, 25g of detergent should be
loaded. After pooring the detergent into the dispenser,
close the lid, since not all detergents are the same and the
instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary.
We should just like to remind users that too little detergent
does not clean the dishes properly whilst too much
detergent not only does not produce better results but is
also a waste. Do not use an excessive amout of detergent

Intensive washing
When using the intensive wash programme, add a second
dose of detergent of about 15g (1 soup spoonful).
This extra dose should be put in the curved part of the
dispenser when it is closed (see diagram).
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
The rinse aid dispenser "B" is to the right of the detergent
dispenser and has a capacity of about 130 ml.
Open the lid and pour in enough liquid, which will last
several washes. Try to avoid overloading. Close the lid.
This additive, which is automatically released during
the last rinse cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and
prevents spots and stains forming. It is always advisable
to use rinse aid.
Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye "A"
which is situated in the centre of the dispensers.

REGULATING THE RINSE AID (from 1 to 6).
The regulator control "B" is below the indicator and can be turned with the finger, the
recommended position is "3".
The hardness of the water can be judged by incrustation or by the level of dryness.
It is therefore important that the correct dosage of Rinse Aid is regulated to give the best
results.
After the wash,
. if streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position.
. if whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position.
LOADING THE SALT
The dishwasher is fitted with a softener that clears the water of lime which could cause scale
and damage the dishwasher.
On the bottom of the diswasher there is a salt dispenser for regenerating the softener.
The filter element of the softener unit should be recharged with a salt specially produced for
dishwashers. This salt can be bought either as tablets or as granules.
To add salt, unscrew the cap of the salt dispenser on
the bottom and refill the dispenser.

If the dishwasher is not required straightaway, set
the programme Cold rinse ("Eco+Rapid, 2 Leds")
so that the salt solution which has overflowed is
discharged from the washing tank.

time to time according to the regulation of the water
softener unit.
NB: it is necessary to add water until the dispenser overflows. Only install the dishwasher
completely filling the salt dispenser.

Regulating the water softener with electronic programmer
The water softener can treat water with a hardness level of up to 60°Fh (French grading) or
33°Dh (German grading) through 5 settings.
The settings are listed in the panel below:
The softener unit is set in the factory at level 3 (indicator light N.3) as this is suitable for the
majority of users.
Regulate the setting of your water softener unit according to the degree of hardness of your
water as follows: Open the door, press On / Off button, within 2 minutes press and keep
