Installation
 This instruction anual should be kept in a safe
place for future reference. If the washing achine is
sold, transferred or oved, ake sure that the
instruction anual re ains with the achine so that
the new owner is able to fa iliarise hi self/herself
with its operation and features.
 Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
infor ation relating to the safe installation and
operation of the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Re ove the washing achine fro its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washing achine has not been
da aged during the transportation process. If it has
been da aged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
3. Re ove 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
the again if the washing achine needs to be
oved to another location.
 Packaging aterials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing achine on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets
or anything else.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, co pen-
sate for any unevenness
by tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet
(see figure); the angle of
inclination, easured in
relation to the worktop,
ust not exceed 2°.
Levelling the achine correctly will provide it with
stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise
and prevent it fro 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 achine.
Connecting the electricity and water
supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Insert seal A into the
end of the inlet hose and
screw the latter onto a
cold water tap with a 3/4
gas threaded opening
(see figure).
Before perfor ing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until it
is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose
to the washing achine
by screwing it onto the
corresponding water inlet
of the appliance, which is
situated on the top right-
hand side of the rear part
of the appliance (see
figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
 The water pressure at the tap ust 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 achine.

Special wash cycles
Mix 30: this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled gar ents quickly: it lasts just 30 inutes
and therefore saves both energy and ti e. By
selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C), it is possible to
wash different fabrics together (except for wool and
silk ite s), with a axi u load of 3 kg.
Mix 15: this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled gar ents quickly: it lasts just 15 inutes
and therefore saves both energy and ti e. By
selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C), it is possible to
wash different fabrics together (except for wool and
silk ite s), with a axi u load of 1.5 kg.
Baby cycle: this wash cycle can be used to re ove
the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring
that all detergent is re oved fro nappies in order to
prevent the delicate skin of babies fro suffering
allergies. The cycle has been designed to reduce
the a ount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of
water and opti ising the effect of special disinfecting
additives added to the detergent.
At the end of the wash cycle, the achine will slowly
rotate the dru to prevent the for ation of creases;
to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.
Silk: use special wash cycle to wash all silk
gar ents. We reco end the use of special
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate
clothes.
Curtains: fold curtains and place the in a pillow
case or esh bag. Use wash cycle .
Wool: Scholtès is the only washing achine
anufacturer to have been awarded the prestigious
Wool ark Platinu Care endorse ent (M.0508) by
the Wool ark Co pany, which eans that all
woollen gar ents ay be washed in the washing
achine, even those which state hand wash only
on the label. Wash cycle therefore offers
co plete peace of ind when washing woollen
gar ents in the washing achine ( ax. load 1,5 kg)
and guarantees opti al perfor ance.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
and to distribute the load in a unifor anner, the
dru rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly
greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after
several atte pts, the load is not balanced correctly,
the achine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the
load is excessively unbalanced, the washing achine
perfor s the distribution process instead of spinning.
To encourage i proved load distribution and balance,
we reco end s all and large gar ents are ixed
in the load.

 Do not touch the drained water as it ay reach
extre ely high te peratures.
 Never force the porthole door. This could da age
the safety lock echanis designed to prevent
accidental opening.
 If the appliance breaks down, do not under any
circu stances access the internal echanis s in
an atte pt to repair it yourself.
 Always keep children well away fro the appliance
while it is operating.
 The door can beco e quite hot during the wash cycle.
 If the appliance has to be oved, work in a group
of two or three people and handle it with the ut ost
care. Never try to do this alone, because the
appliance is very heavy.
 Before loading laundry into the washing achine,
ake sure the dru is e pty.
Disposal
 Disposing of the packaging aterials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging ay be re-used.
 The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equip ent, requires that
old household electrical appliances ust not be
disposed of in the nor al unsorted unicipal waste
strea . Old appliances ust be collected
separately in order to opti ise the recovery and
recycling of the aterials they contain and reduce
the i pact on hu an health and the environ ent.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" sy bol on the
product re inds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it ust be separately
collected.
Consu ers should contact their local authority or
retailer for infor ation concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
Opening the porthole door manually
In the event that it is not possible to open the
porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to
re ove the laundry, proceed as follows:
1. re ove the plug fro the electrical socket.
2. ake sure the water level inside the achine is
lower than the door opening; if it is not, re ove
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 fro its stop
position; pull downwards and open the door at the
sa e ti e.

Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
 Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This
will li it wear on the hydraulic syste inside the
washing achine and help to prevent leaks.
 Unplug the washing achine when cleaning it and
during all aintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber co ponents of the
appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked
in lukewar soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
Re ove the dispenser
by raising it and pulling it
out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
Caring for the door and drum of your
appliance
 Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to
prevent unpleasant odours fro for ing.
Cleaning the pump
The washing achine is fitted with a self-cleaning
pu p which does not require any aintenance.
So eti es, s all ite s (such as coins or buttons)
ay fall into the pre-cha ber which protects the
pu p, situated in its botto part.
 Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-cha ber:
1. unscrew the lid by
rotating it anti-clockwise
(see figure): a little water
ay trickle out. This is
perfectly nor al;
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 i ediately: during
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a
cracked hose could easily split open.
 Never use second-hand hoses.

Troubleshooting
Your washing achine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistan e),
ake sure that the proble 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
WATE , CHECK SUPPLY"
appears on the display).
The washing machine
continuously takes in and
drains water.
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.
Possible causes / Solutions:
 The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not aking contact.
 There is no power in the house.
 The washing achine 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 y le).
 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 c fro

 The wall drainage syste is not fitted with a breather pipe.
If the proble 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 ay be proble s
relating to water drainage, causing the washing achine to fill with water
and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops
and help to avoid this inconvenience.
 The wash cycle does not include draining: so e wash cycles require the
drain phase to be started anually (see Wash y les and fun tions).
 The EASY IRON function has been activated: To co plete the wash
cycle, press the START/PAUSE button (see Wash y les and fun tions).
 The drain hose is bent (see Installation).
 The drainage duct is clogged.
 The dru was not unlocked correctly during installation (see Installation).
 The washing achine is not level (see Installation).
 The washing achine 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 maintenan e).
 The drain hose is not fixed properly (see Installation).
 Switch off the achine and unplug it, wait for approxi ately 1 inute
and then switch it back on again.
If the proble persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.
 The detergent is not suitable for achine washing (it should display the
text for washing achines or hand and achine wash, or the like).
 Too uch detergent was used.
