Laundry is not dried properly or
is still too damp.
■
After the programme has ended, warm laundry feels damper than it
actually is. Spread out the laundry and let it cool down.
■
Adjust the drying time or increase the degree of dryness. This will
extend the drying time but the temperature will remain the same.
■
Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is
still damp.
■
Select a timed programme for a small load.
■
Do not exceed the maximum load for a programme.
■
Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become cov-
ered in a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product resi-
due, which then impairs its performance.
■
Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the
condensation container is full or because the maximum drying time
has been exceeded.
Note:
Drying time too long.
■
The appliance may have fluff in it. This will increase the required dry-
ing time.
– Run a complete drying cycle with a load weighing more than
3 kg. Make sure the laundry has not been pre-dried.
Note:
The appliance's automatic self-cleaning function uses the
condensed water from your laundry. If you regularly dry loads weigh-
ing less than 3 kg, there will not be enough condensed water from
your laundry to run the appliance's automatic self-cleaning function.
You should therefore dry loads weighing more than 3 kg on a regular
basis, making sure that the laundry has not been pre-dried.
■
The heat exchanger may have fluff in it.
– Run the basic appliance care programme.
■
If the fluff filter is damp, this may increase the drying time and affect
the drying result. Dry the base unit's fluff filter thoroughly after rins-
ing it.
■
If the air inlet on the appliance is blocked or not fully open, this may
increase the drying time. Make sure the air inlet remains unob-
structed.
■
If the ambient temperature is lower than 15 °C or higher than 30 °C,
this may increase the drying time and affect the drying result.
■
If the air circulation in the room is inadequate, this may increase the
drying time. Make sure the room is adequately ventilated.
Unpleasant odour in the appli-
ance
Run the intensive appliance care programme.
Humidity in the room is increas-
ing.
Make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated.
Unusual noises when drying.
When drying is in progress, the pump and compressor generate noise
when operating normally. This does not indicate that the appliance is
malfunctioning.
