• Start a short programme (e.g. 30

minutes) with moist laundry.

At the beginning of the

drying cycle (first 3-5 min.)

there could be a slightly

higher sound level. This is

due to the compressor

starting up. This is normal

for compressor powered

appliances such as

refrigerators and freezers.
