are not satisfactory.
• Increase the detergent quantity or use a different detergent.
• Use special products to remove the stubborn stains before
you wash the laundry.
• Make sure that you set the correct temperature.
• Decrease the laundry load.
• When using AutoDose tanks, make sure that they are not
empty.
• When using AutoDose tanks, verify the pre-set detergent/
fabric softener dosage. Refer to "Basic setting" paragraph in
"The AutoDose Technology" chapter.
• Make sure that you have cleaned the AutoDose tanks before
using different brand and type of detergent, fabric softener or
other additives.
Too much foam in the
drum during the wash‐
ing cycle.

fabric softener dosage. Refer to "Basic setting" paragraph in

decrease in the Auto‐

ing.
