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.
■
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.
