Troubleshooting

If the washing results are not satisfactory

If the washing turns greyish and limescale deposits are present in 
the drum

• Insufficient washing powder has been added.
• Incorrect washing powder was used.
• Special stains were not pretreated.
• Program or temperature was not set correctly.
• When using modular washing powders the individual components 

were not used in the correct ratio.

If there are still grey stains on the washing

• Washing soiled with ointments, grease or oils was washed with insuf-

ficient washing powder.

• The temperature selected for the wash was too low.
• A frequent cause is that fabric softener especially a concentrated one 

has come into contact with the washing. Wash out these types of 
stains as fast as possible and use the fabric softener carefully.

If after the final rinse foam is still visible

• Modern washing powders can still cause foam in the final rinse cycle. 

The washing is nevertheless sufficiently rinsed.

If there are white residues on the washing

• These are insoluble contents of modern washing powders. They are 

not the result of an insufficient rinse. Shake out the washing or brush 
it off. Perhaps you should turn the washing inside out in future 
before washing it. Review your choice of powder, possibly use liquid 
detergents in future.
