Problem solving guide
Possible reasons for increased
levels of foaming
– Detergent type
^ Only use detergents formulated for
commercial washer-extractors. Domestic
laundry detergents are not suitable.
– Using too much detergent
^ Follow the manufacturer's dosage
recommendations on the packaging and
take local water hardness levels into
account.
– Heavy foaming detergent
^ Use a low foaming detergent or contact
your detergent supplier for advice.
– Very soft water
^ In areas with very soft water (hardness
level 1) dispense less detergent as
specified by the detergent manufacturer.
– Soiling level of the laundry
^ For lightly soiled laundry dispense less
detergent in accordance with the
detergent manufacturer's instructions.
– Residues e.g. detergent on the laundry
^ Run a pre-wash without detergent and
without selecting a temperature.
Laundry which has been soaked before
washing must be thoroughly rinsed before
running a wash programme.
– Small loads
^ Reduce the amount of detergent
dispensed according to the size of the
load.
– Drum speed too high during the wash
^ Reduce the drum speed and the wash
rhythm.
