Not enough detergent
was dispensed.

The dosage level has
been set too low.

– Increase the dosage level

and select a higher degree
of soiling setting, if
necessary.

– How to set the dosage level

is described in the "Auto-
matic detergent
dispensing" section of the
operating instructions.

If none of the above is the case, call the Service Department.

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem

Possible cause

Remedy

Liquid detergent does
not give the required
result.

Liquid detergents
usually contain no
bleaching agents. They
do not remove fruit,
coffee and tea stains.

– Select the powder

detergent container instead
of the liquid detergent
container

or

– Add stain removers to the

laundry in the drum.

Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed
laundry.

Insufficient amounts of
detergent were used to
break down the
particles of grease in
heavily soiled laundry.

– Select the highest degree

of soiling setting for the
type of laundry being
washed and use liquid
detergent.

– Before washing the next

load run a Cottons 95°C
programme with powder
detergent but without a
load.
