Possible reasons for increased levels of
foaming
–
Detergent type
^
Only use detergents formulated for commercial
washer-extractors. Domestic laundry detergents
are not suitable.
–
Using too much detergent
^
Follow the manufacturer's dosage
recommendations on the packaging and take local
water hardness levels into account.
–
Heavy foaming detergent
^
Use a low foaming detergent or contact your
detergent supplier for advice.
–
Very soft water
^
In areas with very soft water (hardness level 1)
dispense less detergent as specified by the
detergent manufacturer.
–
Soiling level of the laundry
^
For lightly soiled laundry dispense less detergent in
accordance with the detergent manufacturer's
instructions.
– Residues e.g. detergent on the laundry
^ Run a pre-wash without detergent and without
selecting a temperature.
Laundry which has been soaked before washing
must be thoroughly rinsed before running a wash
programme.
– Small loads
^ Reduce the amount of detergent dispensed
according to the size of the load.
–
Drum speed too high during the wash
(Profitronic controls)
^
Reduce the drum speed and the wash rhythm.
–
Gas-heated washer-extractors
On gas heated machines the suds solution is
pumped around the heater elements. This additional
movement of the suds can produce extra foam.
^
Follow the dispensing instructions given above.
^
Use a low lather detergent.
^
On Profitronic controlled machines and in special
circumstances it is possible to reduce the drum
speed and the wash rhythm during the heating-up
phase.
Large articles of laundry stretching
during the spin cycle
Large articles of laundry (e.g. table cloths) can
stretch during the spin cycle. This can generally be
prevented by reprogramming the machine.
