If the washing result is not satisfactory
If the washing is grey and limescale
forms in the drum
• Not enough washing detergent added.
• The right washing detergent was not used.
• Special types of stain were not pretreated.
• Program or temperature incorrectly set.
• If binary wahing detergents were used, the indi-
vidual components were not added in the correct
ratio.
If there are still grey stains on the wash-
ing
• Washing contaminated with creams, grease or
oils was washing with too little detergent.
• Washing at too low temperature.
• A frequent cause is that conditioner – particularly
concentrated form, ended up on the washing.
Wash out such stains as quickly as possible and
carefully use the right conditioner.
If foam is still visible after the final rinse
• Modern washing detergents can still produce
foam, even in the final rinse. The washing is still
sufficiently rinsed.
If there are white residues on the wash-
ing
• These are the insoluble components of modern
detergents. They are not the result of an insuffi-
cient rinsing effect.
Shake or brush off the washing. Perhaps in future
you should turn the washing before washing it.
Check the choice of detergent and use a liquid
detergent if necessary.

ting is blocked at the stopcock or at
the washing machine.

results; if possible, use liquid deter-
gent.
