Condenser drying means there is no need to route a hose to an outside wall - the machine collects moisture internally, so it can be installed in most standard kitchen or utility spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProActive Wash for thorough, fabric-friendly cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCandy's ProActive Wash system uses a targeted water injection process to distribute water and detergent quickly and evenly through the drum. The manufacturer states this removes up to 99% of daily stains while keeping fabric stress low. The Soft Drum interior has an ultra-smooth surface that reduces friction and snagging, helping maintain garment condition through repeated washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKG Detector automatically adjusts each cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in KG Detector sensor weighs the load before each cycle begins and automatically sets the right amount of water, time, and energy for that specific load size. This means a half-full drum is not treated the same as a full one, reducing both water and energy use in everyday operation. The machine is described by Candy as 10% more efficient than an A-rated machine, and its weighted energy consumption per 100 wash-only cycles is 43 kWh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuiet operation and long-term durability:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAI Silent Motion technology monitors drum rotation continuously and adjusts motor behaviour to reduce vibration and noise. The machine is rated at 72 dB(A) during the wash cycle, with a noise emission class of A. Candy has tested this model to 4,000 cycles, which the manufacturer equates to approximately 20 years of typical use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHygiene and freshness features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean Shield protects the drum interior and door seal against bacteria and mould build-up between washes. The Fresh Vapor Cycle uses high-temperature steam to relax fibres and reduce creasing, which is useful for garments that have been sitting in the drum or that need a quick refresh without a full wash. A dedicated Hygiene Plus 59 programme provides a higher-temperature option for items that need more thorough sanitisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFunctions and Programmes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of programmes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWash programmes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cotton, Synthetics, Delicate, Wool Dry, Hand Wash, Eco 40-60 Whites, 20°C Cold Wash, Special 39°\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial programmes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh Vapour, Hygiene Plus 59, High Heat, Rapid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional programmes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse, Drain \u0026amp;
