Possible cause
Too little detergent (laundry was
very greasy).
You used liquid detergent or
detergent for colored laundry
which does not contain whitener.
It is not the consequence of bad
rinsing, but because of neo-
phosphate detergents containing
non soluble components
(zeolites) for water softening.
Such substances may be
deposited upon the laundry.
Low water flow pressure.
Some detergents may stick to
the dispenser rather hard if it is
wet.
Sucking cover is not correctly
positioned or is clogged.
• The machine switched on
the UKS* system because of
uneven laundry load.
• Power failure occurred.
In case you were not successful in repairing the
malfunctions in spite of the above suggestion chart,
call the nearest authorized service shop.
Repairing the failure arising from inappropriate
connections or use of the appliance is not covered
by the guarantee, and the repair expenses are paid
by the customer.
Remedy
Wash the laundry again.
Add more detergent for such soiled
laundry, or use liquid detergent.
Use the detergent containing
whitener.
Immediately rinse the laundry once
again.
• Use liquid detergents which do not
contain zeolites.
• Try removing the residues with the
brush.
• Clean the inlet pipe filter net.
• In case of low water pressure
increase water level.
• Wipe the dispenser prior loading
detergent.
Clean the dispenser and firmly fix the
cover to its place.
• Washing program time may be
prolonged for 10 minutes and the
machine still functions perfectly.
• Time is prolonged for the power
failure period.
