the wrong programme for the type of fabric. All the required information 

can be found in the programme table

.

■

Remove clothes immediately after drying; creasing will occur if they are left 

in the drum.

Water is leaking out.

Not a fault; the dryer may be sloping. Level the dryer.

Change in the pro-

gramme duration dis-

played during drying.

Not a fault. The moisture sensors detect the remaining moisture in the load and 

adjust the programme length (except timed programmes).

Laundry is not dried 

correctly or is still too 

damp.

■

After the programme has ended, warm laundry feels damper than it actu-

ally 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 dryness level. 

This does not increase the temperature.

■

Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is still 

damp 

~

.

■

If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry 

may not be dried properly.

■

Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become covered by 

a fine layer of limescale or residues of detergents and care products which 

then impair its function. Your laundry is not being dried correctly

■

Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the conden-

sation container is full or because the maximum drying time has been 

exceeded.
