Troubleshooting

If the washing results are not satisfactory
If the washing turns greyish and limescale deposits are present in
the drum
• Insufficient washing powder has been added.
• Incorrect washing powder was used.
• Special stains were not pretreated.
• Program or temperature was not set correctly.
• When using modular washing powders the individual components
were not used in the correct ratio.
If there are still grey stains on the washing
• Washing soiled with ointments, grease or oils was washed with insuf-
ficient washing powder.
• The temperature selected for the wash was too low.
• A frequent cause is that fabric softener especially a concentrated one
has come into contact with the washing. Wash out these types of
stains as fast as possible and use the fabric softener carefully.
If after the final rinse foam is still visible
• Modern washing powders can still cause foam in the final rinse cycle.
The washing is nevertheless sufficiently rinsed.
If there are white residues on the washing
• These are insoluble contents of modern washing powders.
They are not the result of an insufficient rinse.
Shake out the washing or brush it off. Perhaps you should turn the
washing inside out in future before washing it. Review your choice of
powder, possibly use liquid detergents in future.
Executing an emergency emptying
1 Warning! Switch off the washing machine and pull the mains plug
before an emergency emptying!
If the washing machine no longer pumps out the washing suds an
emergency emptying must be carried out.
Caution! The washing suds, which flow out of the emergency emptying
hose can be hot. Risk of scalding! First allow the suds to cool down
before an emergency emptying!
0 Put down a flat container to catch the suds draining out.
