What to do if ...
ʠ
Programme terminates shortly
after starting.
Ambient temperature greater than 5°C?
Is the appliance loaded with the laundry?
Load too small for selected programme?/Use timed
programme apage 6/7.
Loaded laundry dry?
ʠ
Water is leaking out. Make sure the dryer is level.
Clean the heat exchanger seal.
ʠ

ʠ
Creasing. Laundry load exceeded?
Remove articles of clothing immediately after the end
of the programme, hang up and pull into shape.
Unsuitable programme selected a page 7.
ʠ
Laundry is not dried correctly or is
still too damp.
After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels
damper than it actually is. Spread the laundry out and
allow the heat to disperse.
Finely adjust the dryness level – this extends the drying
time but does not increase the temperature. Your laundry
will become drier.
Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase
the drying level. This does not increase the temperature.
Select a time programme for extended drying of laundry
that is still damp.
If you have exceeded the maximum load for the
programme, the laundry may not be dried correctly.
Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. A fine layer of
limescale may adversely affect the performance of the
sensors and your washing will not dry properly.
Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut,
because the condensate container is full or because the
maximum drying time has been exceeded.
ʠ
Drying time too long. Clean the fluff filter under running water a page 4/11.
Insufficient supply of air a Ensure that air can circulate.
Air inlet possibly blocked a Clear inlet a page 9.
Ambient temperature higher than 35°C a Ventilate the
room.
ʠ
One or more indicator lights are
flashing.
Clean the fluff filter and heat exchanger a page 4,8/11.
Check the installation conditions a page 9.
Switch off, allow to cool, switch back on and restart the
programme.
ʠ
Power failure. Remove the laundry from the dryer immediately and
spread out. This allows the heat to dissipate. Be careful
as the door, the drum and the laundry may be hot.
