Cause
Solution
• Use the recommended
amount of detergent for
the water hardness and the
laundry.
• Do not overload
the machine. Load
the laundry with the
quantities recommended
in the «Programme and
Consumption Table".
• Select the right
programme and
temperature for the laundry.
• Use the appropriate
original-brand detergent for
the machine.
• Put the detergent in the
right compartment. Avoid
mixing whitening product
with detergent.
• Clean the drum regularly.
To do so, refer to section
4.4.2.
• Leave the detergent
drawer and the machine
door slightly open after
each wash. This prevents
a humid environment that
favours bacterial growth
inside the machine.
