Note:  

If you cannot rectify the fault yourself by turning the dryer off and on, please 

contact our after-sales service.

Drying time too long?

The fluff filter may be dirty and cause drying to take longer. Clean the fluff 

filter.

If the air inlet on the dryer is blocked or not freely accessible, this may 

increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.

The optimum ambient temperature for drying is between 15 °C and 30 °C. 

Outside of this range, the drying time may increase.

Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-

late the room.

Displayed drying time 

changes during drying 

process.

Not a fault. The dryer recognizes the load and adapts the remaining program 

duration.

Display panel goes off 

and Start button flashes.

Not a fault. Energy saving mode is active

Residual water in the 

condensate container 

despite the dryer being 

connected to the con-

densation drain*.

condensate container due to the dryer's self-cleaning function.

Humidity in the room 

increases.

Not a fault. Make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated.

Power cut.

The drying programme is interrupted. Remove the laundry and spread it out, or 

restart the programme.

Unusual noises when 

drying.

Not a fault. Noises are produced by the automatic cleaning of the heat 

exchanger
