What to do if . . .
. . . lime deposits appear on
the drum surface:
. . . grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry:
. . . there are white residues
which look like powder deter-
gent on the washing:
. . . liquid detergent does not
give the desired result:
. . . The pump makes strange
noises.
Cause . . .
Not enough detergent has been
used.
Insufficient amounts of
detergent were used to break
down the particles of grease in
heavily soiled laundry.
The detergent contained
compounds (zeolites) to aid
water softening which are not
soluble in water. These have
ended up on the textiles.
Liquid detergents do not usually
remove stains such as fruit
juice, tea, coffee, wine etc.
These noises occur at the end
of a pump sequence as a
normal part of the operation.
They are not a fault.

Remedy . . .
–
Use a descaling agent which
must be stated by the
manufacturer to be suitable
for use in washing machines.
–
Use the correct amount of
detergent to cope with the
water hardness
–
Either add more detergent,
or use liquid detergent.
–
Before washing the next load
run a COTTONS 60°C
programme with liquid
detergent but without a load
to clean the machine.
–
Use detergents containing
no zeolites to re-wash the
load, and in the future. Liquid
detergents usually contain
no zeolites.
–
Try and brush off the
residues with a soft brush.
–
Use a general purpose
washing powder containing
a bleaching agent, (check
first with the care label).
–
Pour stain remover (salts)
into the dispenser drawer
compartment j
Put the liquid detergent into
a dispenser ball.
–
Never put stain salts and
liquid detergent together in
the dispenser drawer.
