Creasing.

Creasing occurs when you have exceeded the maximum load or selected 

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 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.

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 cor-

rectly 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 timed programme for subsequent drying of 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-

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

exceeded.
