[. . . ] 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. The detergent must be placed in the main wash compartment (marked II) in the detergent dispenser. 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. 15 Detergent drawer The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments: - the first, labelled "I", is for prewash detergent; - the second, labelled "II", is for main wash detergent. If liquid detergents are used, please insert the special container supplied into the compartment marked "II" in the detergent drawer. This ensures that the liquid detergent enters the drum at the right stage of the wash cycle. This special container must be inserted into the compartment marked "II" in the detergent drawer, also when you wish to use the "RINSE" programme as BLEACHING cycle. - Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use Choice 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.

SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme. 18 19 Main wash Sorting the laundry It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and detergent and not dry-clean items. If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them. Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: Always follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most suitable care and treatment of the laundry Laundry for hot wash Coloured, easy-care materials Delicates and wool Wash by hand Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing: Dry clean For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc. , you are advised to use a laundry net or wash bag. Woollen items must be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol to be washed in the machine , and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable". We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time separately. For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40°C. The correct way to wash Preparing the laundry A) Select the laundry. Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of laundry are obstructing the lock. Putting detergent in machine D) Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in the correct amount, according to the manufacturer's instructions and the advice on page 17. Close the drawer again. Selecting the wash programme Refer to the programme guide or the programme descriptions on the machine to select the most suitable programme.
