when to get help
- stop and get help if foam or water escapes, drainage fails or the problem continues with the correct detergent and dose. do not open a hot or locked drum.
steps
- do not add more detergent to foam
let the washer complete its safe rinse sequence without forcing the door. for future loads, use a low-foaming front-loader detergent and the pack's dose for the load and soil, not extra detergent to compensate for foam.
- match the drawer to the programme
use compartment 1 only when prewash is selected; use the main-wash compartment for ordinary programmes. these models' guide says not to use liquid detergent with prewash or delay.
- clean residue when the washer is stopped
after the programme finishes, switch off and unplug before cleaning accessible drawer residue as shown in the guide. do not mix cleaning chemicals to remove suds.
