“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…)
•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
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.
