Programme selector
For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has 4
different programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see
table of washing cycle programmes).
1 RESISTANTS FABRICS
The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the
rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing.
The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.
2 MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS
The main wash and rinse gives the best results thanks to the rotation
rhythms of the drum and to the water levels.
A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.
3 SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES
This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is
particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics such as Pure Machine
Washable Wool. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water
levels to ensure best results.
WOOLMARK PROGRAMME
The special cycle, certified by WOOLMARK, enables to thoroughly wash
garments without damaging them. The cycle comprises of alternate periods
of activity and pauses.
SPECIAL “HAND WASH”
This washing machine also has a gentle Hand Wash programme cycle.
This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified
as “Hand Wash only” on the fabric care label. The programme has a
temperature of 30°C and concludes with 3 rinses and a slow spin.

“MIX & WASH SYSTEM” PROGRAMME
This is an exclusive Candy system and involves 2 great advantages for the
consumer:
• to be able to wash together different type of fabrics (e.g. cotton + synthetic
etc…) NON-FAST COLOUREDS;
• to wash with a considerable energy saving.
The "Mix & Wash" programme has a temperature of 40°C and alternate
dynamic phases (the drum that turns) to static phases (fabrics in soak in
phase of rest) with the programme duration that almost reaching the 3 hours.
The energy consumption for the complete cycle is only 850 W/h.
Important:
• the first washing of new coloureds fabrics must be done separately;
• in every case, never mix NON-FAST COLOUREDS fabrics.
32 MINUTE RAPID PROGRAMME 50°C
The 32 minute rapid programme allows a complete washing cycle to be
carried out in approximately 30 minutes, with up to a maximum load of 2 kg
and a temperature of 50°C.
When selecting the "32 minute rapid" programme, please note that we
recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on
the detergent pack.
FUZZY LOGIC
Through every wash phase Fuzzy Logic allows the Activa Smart to monitor information on
the wash load in the drum.
So, as soon as the Activa Smart is set in motion it:
• adjusts the amount of water required
• determines the length of the wash cycle
• controls rinsing
according to the type of fabric selected to be washed it:
• adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for the type of fabric being washed
• recognises the presence of lather, increasing, if necessary, the amount of water during
rinsing
• adjusts the spin speed according to the load, thus avoiding any imbalance.
In this way the ACTIVA SMART is able to decide, by itself, the most suitable programme for
each individual wash from the hundreds of possible wash combinations.
Fuzzy Logic meets the need for easy use by permitting a simplified programme selection. In
fact, the user need only tell the machine the type of fabric in the drum (cotton, mixtures,
delicate or woollens) and the degree of soiling, to obtain a perfect wash with the highest
level of drying possible with a spin which really cares for your clothes.
