Note:
The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents (check detergent information
on pack) can have the following effects:
– waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of a white powder
(zeolites) held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected;
– presence of white powder on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric
and does not alter the colour of the fabric.
– The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing.
– Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.
It is unlikely that water will be visible in the drum!
This is due to the latest technology that achieves the
same standard of washing and rinsing but with far less
water consumption.
