FAST WASH button   Press the button to select or deselect this function.
Pressing this button reduces the time of the wash programme by a maximum of 50 minutes
depending on the programme and the temperature selected. The "Super Rapid" button can
be used for washing loads of 1 to 8 kg. This option may only be utilised on COTTONSand
SYNTHETICSprogrammes.
D
The option buttons should be selected before pressing
the Start/Pause button.
9
ALLERGY CARE button By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Cotton and Mixed
Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor Activa System. This option treats with care the fibres
of garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them.
The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined
action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied, will give you garments which
have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection. The amount of water in the wash is increased so that
the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action. The amount of water is also
increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This
function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even
a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy.
You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothing and for delicate fabrics in general,
or when washing garments made of towelling, where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of
detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash, this function is always activated on the
Delicates and Woollens programs.
E
STAIN VANISH ButtonBy pressing this button, which can only be activated in the Cotton cycles, the sensors in the
new Activa system come into operation. They affect both the selected temperature, keeping
it at a constant level throughout the wash cycle, and the mechanical function of the drum.
The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucial moments. When the detergent
enters the garments, the drum rotates in such a way that the detergent is distributed in a
uniform manner; during the wash and rinse procedures, however, the speed increases in
order to maximise the cleaning action. Thanks to this special system, the efficiency of the
wash procedure is improved WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN THE LENGTH OF THE
PROGRAM.
F
DELAY START button   Appliance start time can be set with this button, delaying the start by 3, 6 or 9 hours.
Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:
Select a programme (“STOP” indicator light blinks)
Press "Delay Start" button (each time the button is pressed the start will be delayed by 3, 6
or 9 hours respectively and the corresponding light will blink).
Press "Start/Pause" to commence the Delay Start operation (the indicator light associated
with the selected Delay Start time stops blinking and remains ON).
At the end of the required time delay the programme will start.
To cancel the Delay Start function :
press the "Delay Start" button until the indicator lights will be off (The "STOP" light blinks)
and the programme can be started manually using the "Start/Pause" button or switch off the
appliance by turning the programme selector to "OFF" position.
G
Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while
the machine is operating, a special memory stores the
selected programme and, when the power is restored, it
continues where it left off.SPIN SPEED button The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without
damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs.
By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle
can be cancelled.
To reactivate the spin cycle press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set.
To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over that which is
automatically suitable during the selection of the program.
It is possible to modify the spin speed without to pausing the machine.Note: 
The machine is fitted with a special electronic device, which
prevents the spin cycle should the load be unbalanced.
This reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so
prolongs the life of your machine.

							Programme selectorFor 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.
Agentle 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.
4. SPECIALS 
SPECIAL “RINSE” PROGRAMME
This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin (which
can be reduced or excluded by using the correct button). It can be used for
rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing.
SPECIAL “FAST SPIN” PROGRAMME
Programme “FAST SPIN” carries out a maximum spin (which can be
reduced by using the correct button).
DRAIN ONLY
This programme drains out the water.
14
“MIX & WASH SYSTEM”  PROGRAMME 
This is an exclusive Candysystem 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.

COTTONSMIXED/
SYNTHETICSDELICATES 
						

							Detergents, washing aids and amounts to useChoice of detergent
General purpose detergents - Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for
use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.
- Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks,
cosmetics and oil.
These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain
bleach.
-Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash.Additional laundry aids-Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as
hard to very hard.
-Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash.
Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free
detergents.
-Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics.
If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.
Do not put solvents in the washing machine!
Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children’s reach.
Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent
drawer.
Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instructions.
17
Detergent drawer
The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments:
-the compartment labelled "1"is for prewash detergent;
-the compartment labelled " " is for special additives,
fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc;
-the compartment labelled "2"is for main wash
detergent.NOTE: 
Some Detergents are Difficult to
utilise. Ensure to use an in drum
dispenser if recommended by
the detergent Manufacturer.
Note: only put liquid products in the compartment
labelled “     ”. The machine is programmed to
automatically take up additives during the final rinse
stage for all wash cycles.

							Useful advice for users
Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical
wayDo a full load in your washing machineTo prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a
full load in your washing machine, not exceed the recommended maximum load size.
Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washesWhen is prewashing really needed?Only with particularly dirty loads!
Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled
laundry.Which wash temperature should you choose?Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures
over 60°C.
Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than
90°C
19
DosagesOnly use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine.
You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products
and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well
as the type of detergent to choose.
The amount of detergent to use depends on:
-  water hardness: depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it
is possible to reduce the amount of detergent.
-the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on
the degree of soiling.
-amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a
small amount of laundry.Dosage for powder detergentFor normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a
programme without prewash.
Put the detergent in compartment “2” of the drawer.
For heavily soiled laundry, choose a programme with prewash.
Put  1/4 of the detergent in compartment “1”, 3/4 in compartment “2”of the drawer.
When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, then add the softener to compartment “2”.
For highly concentrated detergents not in single dose format, follow  what is shown on pack
exactly as regards type and amount of dosage.
To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the dosage aids
provided in the detergent packaging.Liquid detergent dosageLiquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant
packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the special container which is
placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents.
