Spin noise during the dry-

This is an innovative process known as thermal spinning in order to reduce
energy consumption during the drying phase.
Varicoloured fluff from the
previous drying cycle is
deposited on the washing
during the subsequent
wash cycle.
Run the
Drum Clean
programme without washing to remove fluff which has
collected in the washer drum during the drying phase.
Water inlet noise during
the drying phase, tap sym-
bol flashes during the dry-
ing phase.
The washer dryer runs a self-cleaning cycle to remove fluff which was deposited
by the washing during the drying phase. This requires a little water. Therefore,
turn the tap on even during the drying phase.
Drying duration extended.
■
According to the principle of air cooling a higher ambient temperature
results in a lower drying effect, thereby extending the drying duration.
Ensure good ventilation to allow surplus heat to escape.
