Creasing.

■

Creasing occurs when you have exceeded the maximum load or selected 

the wrong program for the type of fabric. All the required information can be 

found in the program table.

■

Remove clothes immediately after drying. Creasing may occur if they are left 

in the drum.

Water is leaking out.

Not a fault. The dryer may be positioned on an incline. Level the dryer.

Laundry is not dried cor-

rectly or is still too damp.

■

After the end of the program, 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 program with a longer drying time or increase the drying level. This 

does not increase the temperature.

If you have exceeded the maximum load for the program, the laundry may 

not be dried properly.

■

Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. A fine layer of limescale or particles 

from the detergent and care products used in washing may residue on the 

sensor and adversely affect it performance. It may cause that your laundry 

will not dry properly
