If something goes wrong

First, don’t panic! There may be nothing wrong at all. Look for your
problem below, then check the things we suggest. More often than
not, this will give you the answer to your problem, and you’ll be able
to carry on without having to telephone your Service Office.

If after this you still cannot get your machine to work, follow the
advice given on the next page.

Check these things first

1. Is the machine plugged in and switched on at the socket?
2. Is the Programme Control set to required time?
3. Is the door securely closed?
4. Has the start button been pressed hard enough? Try pressing the

start button again.

5. Has the fuse blown? (Try  plugging in another appliance to check) 
6.  Have you used an extension lead? Many are not suitable. Try       

plugging the dryer directly into a socket to check.

1. Have you forgotten to clean the filter? It should be cleaned after

each load.

2. Have you selected the correct Programme setting for the type of 

fabric you are drying?

3. Is the flexible Vent Hose blocked or kinked? Check it for foreign

objects or condensate (water).

4. Have the air intake grille or rear vents of the Dryer been 

obstructed?

5. Permanent venting - is flap on the storm cover obstructed?
6. Were the clothes ‘excessively wet’ when they were put in?
7. Was the correct time/programme selected?
8. Have you overloaded the dryer?

This is perfectly normal - it means that the Dryer is on ‘Crease Care’
and has reached the end of the drying cycle and the clothes are
ready to take out.

This is perfectly normal, the dryer is on ‘Crease Care’ as above...
Press the Alarm (Buzzer) button and the bleeping will stop.

See section "The Controls", this indicates a possible fault.

This is perfectly normal, the dryer has finished its programme. 
Press the Buzzer button and the bleeping will stop or open the door.

Have you re-read this instruction book?
