Note:  

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

contact our after-sales service.

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.

■

Select a timed program for subsequent drying of laundry that is still damp 

~

.

■

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

■

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

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

exceeded.

Drying time too long?

■

The fluff filter may be dirty and cause a longer drying time. Clean the fluff fil-

ter.

■

Unsuitable programme selected?

■

Dryer installed too closely to other objects? Provide adequate air circula-

tion.

■

If the ambient temperature is higher than 35 °C, this may extend the drying 

time.

■

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

late the room.

■

Mains failure? Restart the dryer.

exhaust air duct.

Exhaust air duct too long? Check the maximum exhaust air duct lenght. Futher
