Possible reasons for increased levels of foaming

Detergent type
Only use detergent formulated for use in commercial washing ma-

chines. Domestic laundry detergent is not suitable.
Too much detergent
Dispense detergent following the instructions on the packaging and

in accordance with local water hardness levels.
Detergent creates too much foam
Use a lower foaming detergent or contact your detergent applica-

tion specialist.
Very soft water
In areas with water hardness level 1, add less detergent in accord-

ance with the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
Dirtiness of the laundry
For lightly soiled laundry dispense less detergent in accordance

with the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
Residues, e.g. cleaning agent left on laundry
Run an additional pre-wash without detergent and without selecting

a temperature. Laundry which has been pre-treated 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 (Profitronic controls)
Reduce the drum speed and wash rhythm.

Large items stretched during spinning
Large items (e.g. tablecloths) can get stretched during spinning. This
can mostly be prevented by reprogramming.
