When this phase has terminated, turn the programme selector to the "OFF" position, add the rest of the fabrics and proceed with a normal wash on the most suitable programme. 40 30 * 1, 5 1 1 Very delicate fabrics "MACHINE WASHABLE" woollens "MACHINE WASHABLE" woollens Hand wash 30 1 - SpecialS Rinse Fast spin Drain only Mix & Wash system programme Rapid 32 minute 40 50 5 2 12 13 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. COTTONS "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. 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. Dosage for powder detergent For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a programme without prewash. Put 1/4 of the detergent in compartment "I", 3/4 in compartment "II" of the drawer. When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, then add the softener to compartment "II". 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. 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 Liquid detergent dosage Liquid 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. 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. [. . . ] Clean drain Clean soap drawer Note: The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects: - waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected; - presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric. - The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing. - Anionic surfactants used in washing detergent formulae often prove to be difficult to remove from the laundry itself and, even in small quantities, can still cause considerable foam production. - Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases. 2.
