Washing and washing result
Detergent residue in the detergent drawer:
 Damp or clumpy detergent: Dry the detergent drawer
before adding detergent. Use dosing aids for compact
or liquid detergents. Add the detergent to the dosing
aid and put it in the drum with the laundry.
 The divider for liquid detergent has been pressed
down: Move the divider to the position for powder
detergent
 Viscous conditioner will remain in the compartment
Remedy: Dilute the viscous conditioner with approx.
100ml water and fill it in the compartment
Attention: Do not exceed the mark «max». If required,
clean the conditioner compartment cover and the siphon
(see chapter «Cleaning and Maintenance»).
Water not visible during wash:
 No error! The water is below the visible level in the
machine.
Laundry does not get clean:
X Laundry was soiled more heavily than expected.
X Stain removal before washing.
X Select the maximum permitted temperature for the
fabric.
X Select a stronger wash programme.
X Dose detergent sufficiently according to the manufac-
turer's data.
Detergent residue on the washing:
X This is not due to poor rinse performance of your
washing machine, but insoluble residues found in a few
phosphate-free detergents, which tend to be deposited
as pale specks on laundry.
Remedy: dry and brush off or repeat the whole rinse
process immediately. Use liquid detergent and wash
programmes with a higher water level (Easy care).
Activate the extra rinse function.
