Possible reasons for increased levels of
foaming:
– detergent type
Only use detergent formulated for use in
commercial washer extractors. Domestic
laundry detergent is not suitable.
– overdosing of detergent
Dispense detergent following the deter-
gent manufacturer's 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 application specialist.
– very soft water
In areas with hardness level 1 dispense
less detergent in accordance with the
detergent manufacturer's instructions.
– soiling level of the laundry
For lightly soiled laundry dispense less
detergent in accordance with the deter-
gent manufacturer's instructions.
– residues, e.g. detergent are left on
laundry
Run an additional pre-wash without deter-
gent 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 dis-
pensed according to the size of the load.
– drum speed too high during the wash
(Profitronic-controls)
Reduce the drum speed and wash rhythm.
