Creasing.
■
Creasing occurs when you have exceeded the maximum load or selected
the wrong programme for the type of fabric. All the required information
can be found in the programme 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.
Change in the pro-
gramme duration dis-
played during drying.
Not a fault. The moisture sensors detect the remaining moisture in the load and
adjust the programme length (except timed programmes).
Laundry is not dried cor-
rectly or is still too damp.
■
After the end of the programme, 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
~
Page 25 .
■
Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the drying level.
This does not increase the temperature.
■
Select a timed programme for subsequent drying of laundry that is still
damp
~
Page 23 .
■
If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry
may not be dried properly.
■
Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become covered by
a fine layer of limescale or residues of detergents and care products which
then impair its function. Your laundry is not being dried correctly
~

■
Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because
the condensate container is full or because the maximum drying time has
been exceeded.
