Possible reasons for increased levels of foaming
Problem
Cause and remedy
Excessive foaming
Detergent type
Only use detergent formulated for use in commercial
washing machines. Domestic laundry detergent is not
suitable.
Overdosing of detergent
Dispense detergent following the 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 instruc-
tions.
Soiling level of the laundry
For lightly soiled laundry dispense less detergent in ac-
cordance with the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
Residues, e.g. detergent left on laundry
Run an additional pre-wash without detergent and
without selecting a temperature. Laundry which has
been pre-treated before washing must be thoroughly
rinsed before running a wash programme.
Small loads
Reduce the amount of detergent accordingly.
Drum speed too high during the wash
Reduce the drum speed and wash rhythm.
