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 COTTONS and  
SYNTHETICS programmes.

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).  
ALLERGY CARE button  
E
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.  
At the end of the required time delay the programme will start.  
To cancel the Delay Start function :  
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.  
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.  
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  
H
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.  
STAIN VANISH Button  
F
By 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.  
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.

“MIX & WASH SYSTEM” PROGRAMME  
This is an exclusive Candy system and involves 2 great advantages for the  
consumer:  
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).  
• 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.  
1 RESISTANTS FABRICS  
COTTONS  
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.  
Important:  
2 MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS  
MIXED/  
SYNTHETICS  
• the first washing of new coloureds fabrics must be done separately;  
• in every case, never mix NON-FAST COLOUREDS 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.  
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.  
3 SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES  
DELICATES  
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.  
FUZZY LOGIC  
SPECIAL “HAND WASH”  
Through every wash phase Fuzzy Logic allows the Activa Smart to monitor information on  
the wash load in the drum.  
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.  
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  
4. SPECIALS  
according to the type of fabric selected to be washed it:  
SPECIAL “RINSE” PROGRAMME  
• 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  
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.  
• 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.  
SPECIAL “FAST SPIN” PROGRAMME  
Programme “FAST SPIN” carries out a maximum spin (which can be  
reduced by using the correct button).  
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.  
DRAIN ONLY  
This programme drains out the water.

Detergent drawer  
Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use  
Choice of detergent  
P
The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments:  
- the compartment labelled "1" is for prewash detergent;  
- the compartment labelled " " is for special additives,  
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.  
fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc;  
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.  
- the compartment labelled "2" is for main wash  
detergent.  
-
Additional laundry aids  
NOTE:  
-
Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as  
hard to very hard.  
Some Detergents are Difficult to  
utilise. Ensure to use an in drum  
dispenser if recommended by  
the detergent Manufacturer.  
-
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!  
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.  
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.

Dosages  
Useful advice for users  
Only 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.  
Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical  
way  
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.  
Do a full load in your washing machine  
To 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 washes  
-
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.  
When 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.  
Dosage for powder detergent  
For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a  
programme without prewash.  
Which wash temperature should you choose?  
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.  
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  
To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the dosage aids  
provided in the detergent packaging.  
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.

The correct way to wash  
Main wash  
Sorting the laundry  
Preparing the laundry  
A) Select the laundry.  
-
It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and  
detergent and not dry-clean items.  
Loading the laundry  
B) Open the porthole.  
-
-
If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.  
C) Put the laundry in the washing machine.  
Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of  
laundry are obstructing the lock.  
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  
Putting detergent in machine  
Laundry for hot wash  
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.  
Add any other laundry aids (see page 17). Close the  
drawer again.  
Coloured, easy-care materials  
Delicates and wool  
Wash by hand  
Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing:  
Dry clean  
Selecting the wash programme  
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  
Refer to the programme guide or the programme descriptions on the machine to select the  
most suitable programme.  
Turning the selector knob, the required programme is activated.  
Wait for the “STOP” indicator light to flash.

-
machine  
, and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable".  
Colour often leaks from new coloured items.  
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.  
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time  
separately.  
Press additional function buttons (if required).  
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40°C.  
Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge hose is positioned correctly.  
Press the "Start/Pause" button.  
When the "Start/Pause" button is pressed the machine sets the working sequence in motion.  
Note: when sorting laundry  
-
check there are no metal objects in the laundry  
(such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins  
etc...);  
The programme carries out with the programme selector stationary on the selected  
programme till cycle ends.  
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.  
-
button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye  
fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords;  
remove curtain hooks;  
-
-
-
pay close attention to the labels on items  
if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the  
laundry, remove them using a special detergent or  
a special stain remover.  
When the programme is finished  
At the end of the programme the indicator light “STOP” will go on.  
Wait for the door lock to be released (about 2 minutes after the programme has finished).  
The "Door Security" indicator light will go out.  
Switch off the machine by turning the programme selector on the “OFF” position. Open the  
door and remove the laundry. Turn off the tap.  
-
We recommend that you do not do a full load of towelling items only as these become too  
heavy since they absorb a lot of water.

Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is  
washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the  
following page to empty the water. This will prevent  
excessive loss of water via the filter.  
Cleaning and routine maintenance  
Do not use alcohol-based scourers and / or thinners on the outside of your washing machine,  
just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance:  
- Cleaning the drawer compartments.  
- Cleaning the filter.  
- Cleaning the door glass.  
Cleaning the door glass  
Cleaning the drawer compartments  
Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the  
compartments for bleaching detergents and additives  
occasionally.  
A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but  
without forcing them.  
Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build  
up of soiling and  
residues from the water may result in water leaking from  
the door.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the  
surface.  
B) Clean everything in the compartment under running  
water.  
C) Put everything back in its proper place.  
Transporting the appliance or long  
periods when appliance is not in  
use  
Cleaning the filter  
The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for  
handling large deposits which could block the discharge  
hose (coins, buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be  
easily retrieved.  
If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for  
long periods in unheated places, all remaining water  
must be completely removed from the hoses.  
Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and  
point it downwards into a basin until all the water has  
emptied out.  
We recommend that the filter be cleaned at least  
once a month.  
The cleaning operation is as follows:  
1) Open the flap  
When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order.  
2) Only available on certain models:  
Pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and  
drain the water into a container.  
3) Before removing the filter, place an absorbent towel  
below the filter cap to collect the small amount of  
water likely to be inside the pump  
4) Turn the filter anti-clockwise until it stops in the  
vertical position.  
Remove and clean.  
5) After cleaning, replace the filter and lock by tightening  
the filter screw. Then follow all procedures described  
above in reverse order.

Note:  
The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects:  
Investigating malfunctions  
-
-
-
-
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.

After Sales Service  
If, having investigated the possible malfunctions on the chart on the previous page, you  
believe the appliance is not working correctly, please call our After Sales Service dept. on  
telephone number:  
The machine makes a  
different noise when  
spinning! This is because it  
has a brush motor for better  
performance.  
Only a small level of water can be  
seen in the drum! This is because  
new machines do not use much  
water, yet achieve the same  
standard of washing and rinsing.
