■
Door not closed properly?
The drying result is not
satisfactory (laundry is
not dry enough).
■
Excessively high ambient temperature (above 30 °C) or inadequate venti-
lation in the room in which the washer dryer is situated.
■
The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying. Always set the
highest selectable spin speed for the particular washing programme.
■
Washer dryer overloaded: Observe the recommendations for the maxi-
mum load in the programme table and on the load display. Do not overload
the washer dryer, as the maximum load for the drying phase is less than
the maximum load for the wash cycle. Unload the washer dryer after wash-
ing with the maximum load and divide the laundry into two drying cycles.
■
The power supply voltage is too low (below 200 V) – provide a suitable
power supply.
■
The water pressure is low. According to water condensing principle, low
water pressure will cause evaporated steam not condensed totally.
■
The tap is closed during drying. Due to the use of the water condensation
technology for drying, please keep the connected water tap open during
the drying process, otherwise proper drying cannot be guaranteed.
■
Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings dry easily on the sur-
