Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily 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: see "Table of wash cycles".

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

that the garments are washed according to the instructions
on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of
this washing machine. Scholtès is the first washing machine
brand to be approved by The Woolmark Company for Apparel
Care- Platinum for its washing performance and consumption
of energy and water. (M1126)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is
a Certification trade mark.
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 washer
dryer 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.
to wash all silk garments.
