Installation
GB
This instruction manual should be kept in a safe
place for future reference. If the washing machine is
sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the
instruction manual remains with the machine so that
the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself
with its operation and features.
Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information relating to the safe installation and
operation of the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washing machine has not been
damaged during the transportation process. If it has
been damaged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
3. Remove the 4
protective screws (used
during transportation) and
the rubber washer with
the corresponding
spacer, located on the
rear part of the appliance
(see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need
them again if the washing machine needs to be
moved to another location.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with
stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise
and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. If it is
placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a
way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space
underneath the washing machine.
Connecting the electricity and water
supplies

children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets
or anything else.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness
by tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet
(see figure); the angle of
inclination, measured in
relation to the worktop,
must not exceed 2°.
2
The water pressure at the tap must fall within the
values indicated in the Technical details table (see
next page).
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialised shop or an authorised technician.
Never use second-hand hoses.
Use the ones supplied with the machine.
Connecting the drain hose
65 - 100 cm
Connect the drain hose,
without bending it, to a
drainage duct or a wall
drain located at a height
between 65 and 100 cm
from the floor;

alternatively, rest it on
the side of a washbasin
or bathtub, fastening the
duct supplied to the tap
(see figure). The free end
of the hose should not
be underwater.
We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is
absolutely necessary, the extension must have the
same diameter as the original hose and must not
exceed 150 cm in length.

Instructions for the fitter
Mounting the wooden panel onto the door and
inserting the machine into cabinets:
In the case where the machine must be shipped for final
installation after the wooden panel has been mounted, we
suggest leaving it in its original packaging. The packaging
was designed to make it possible to mount the wooden
panel onto the machine without removing it completely
(see figures below).
The wooden panel that covers the face of the machine
must not be less than 18 mm in thickness and can be
hinged on either the right or left. For the sake of
practicality when using the machine, we recommend that
the panel be hinged on the same side as the door for the
machine itself - the left.

Using the Drilling Template.
- To trace the positions of the holes on the left-hand side
of the panel, align the drilling template to the top left side
of the panel using the lines traced on the extremities as a
reference.
- To trace the positions of the holes on the right-hand
side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top
right side of the panel.
- Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for
the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.
Mounding the Parts onto the Wooden Panel (Door).
- Insert the hinges into the holes (the movable part of the
hinge must be positioned facing away from the panel) and
fasten them with the 4 type A screws.
- Insert the magnet into the top hole on the opposite side
of the hinges and fasten it with the two type B screws.
- Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole.
The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.
Mounting the Panel into the machine.
Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in fig. 2)
into the hole for the hinge and push the panel towards the
front of the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type
D screws.
Fastening the plinth guide.
If the machine is installed at the end of a set of modular
cabinets, mount either one or both of the guides for the
base molding (as shown in fig. 8). Adjust them for depth
based on the position of the base molding, and, if
necessary, fasten the base to the guides (fig. 9).
This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8):
Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q into
the special slot and once it is in the desired position, lock
it in place using angle P and screw R.
Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.
- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the
cabinets (fig. 6).
- Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the
appropriate height.
- To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the
vertical and horizontal directions, use the C and D
screws, as shown in fig. 7.
Important: close the lower part of the appliance front by
ensuring that the plinth rests against the floor.

Adjusting the appliance height.
The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from 815 mm
to 835 mm), by turning the 4 feet.
Should you require the appliance to be placed higher than
the above height, you need to use the following accessories
to raise it to up to 870 mm:
the two crossbars (G); the 4 feet (H); the 4 screws (I); the 4
nuts (L) then perform the following operations (fig. 11):
remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at the front of
the appliance, fastening it in place using screws I (screwing
them in where the original feet were) then insert the new feet H.
Repeat the same operation at the back of the appliance.
Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance from 835
mm to 870 mm.
Once you have reached the desired height, lock nuts L onto
crossbar G.
To adjust the appliance to a height between 870 mm and
900 mm, you need to mount strip M, adjusting feet H to the
required height.
Insert the strip as follows:
loosen the three screws N situated at the front of the Top
cover of the appliance, insert strip M as shown in fig. 12,
then fasten screws N.

Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not
necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in
fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance
and contribute to environmental pollution.
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.

Preparing the laundry
Divide the laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
- the colours: separate coloured garments from
whites
Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the
weight of the laundry when dry:
Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 kg
Silk: max. 1 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special wash cycles
Mix 30: this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes
and therefore saves both energy and time. By
selecting this wash cycle (
at 30°C), it is possible to
wash different fabrics together (except for wool and
silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.
Mix 15: this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes
and therefore saves both energy and time. By
selecting this wash cycle (
at 30°C), it is possible to
wash different fabrics together (except for wool and
silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
Baby cycle: this wash cycle can be used to remove
the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring
that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to
prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering
allergies. The cycle
has been designed to reduce
the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of
water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting
additives added to the detergent.
At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly
rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases;
to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.
Silk: use special wash cycle
to wash all silk
garments. We recommend the use of special
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate
clothes.
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle
.
Wool: Scholtès is the only washing machine
manufacturer to have been awarded the prestigious
Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by
the Woolmark Company, which means that all
woollen garments may be washed in the washing
machine, even those which state hand wash only
on the label. Wash cycle therefore offers
complete peace of mind when washing woollen
garments in the washing machine (max. load 1,5 kg)
and guarantees optimal performance.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the
drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly
greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after
several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly,
the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the
load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine
performs the distribution process instead of spinning.
To encourage improved load distribution and balance,
we recommend small and large garments are mixed
in the load.

Precautions and tips
This washing machine was designed and
constructed in accordance with international safety
regulations. The following information is provided for
safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully.
General safety
This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
The washing machine must only be used by adults, in
accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.
Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with
wet or damp hands or feet.
Do not pull on the power supply cable when
unplugging the appliance from the electricity
socket. Hold the plug and pull.
Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while
the machine is in operation.
Do not touch the drained water as it may reach
extremely high temperatures.
Never force the porthole door. This could damage
the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent
accidental opening.
If the appliance breaks down, do not under any
circumstances access the internal mechanisms in

Always keep children well away from the appliance
while it is operating.
The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group
of two or three people and handle it with the utmost
care. Never try to do this alone, because the
appliance is very heavy.
Before loading laundry into the washing machine,
make sure the drum is empty.
Opening the porthole door manually
GB
In the event that it is not possible to open the
porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to
remove the laundry, proceed as follows:
1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.
2. make sure the water level inside the machine is
lower than the door opening; if it is not, remove
excess water using the drain hose, collecting it in a
bucket.
3. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the
figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop
position; pull downwards and open the door at the
same time.
Disposal
Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that
old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce
the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.

Care and maintenance
GB
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This
will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the
washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and
during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the
appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked
in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
1
Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pulling it
out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. unscrew the lid by
rotating it anti-clockwise
(see figure): a little water
may trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
2. clean the inside thoroughly;
3. screw the lid back on;
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are
any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a
cracked hose could easily split open.
Never use second-hand hoses.
2
Caring for the door and drum of your
appliance
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump which does not require any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)
may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the
pump, situated in its bottom part.
Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.
12
Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance),
make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.
Problem:
The washing machine does not
switch on.
The wash cycle does not start.
The washing machine does not
take in water (the text "NO
WATER, CHECK SUPPLY"
appears on the display).
The washing machine
continuously takes in and
drains water.
Possible causes / Solutions:
The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.
There is no power in the house.
The washing machine door is not closed properly.
The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
The water tap has not been opened.
A delayed start has been set (see Running a wash cycle).
The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
The hose is bent.
The water tap has not been opened.
There is no water supply in the house.
The pressure is too low.
The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from
the floor (see Installation).
The free end of the hose is under water (see Installation).
The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap,
switch the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the
dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems
relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water
and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops
and help to avoid this inconvenience.
GB
The washing machine does not
drain or spin.
The washing machine vibrates a
lot during the spin cycle.
The washing machine leaks.
The machine is locked and the
display flashes, indicating an
error code (e.g. F-01, F-..).
There is too much foam.
The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the
drain phase to be started manually (see Wash cycles and functions).
The EASY IRON function has been activated: To complete the wash
cycle, press the START/PAUSE button (see Wash cycles and functions).
The drain hose is bent (see Installation).
The drainage duct is clogged.
The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see Installation).
The washing machine is not level (see Installation).
The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see Installation).
The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see Installation).
The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see Care
and maintenance).
The drain hose is not fixed properly (see Installation).
Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute
and then switch it back on again.
If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.
The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the
text for washing machines or hand and machine wash, or the like).
Too much detergent was used.
13
