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.

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 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 

~

 Page 25

.

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 

~

 Page 23

.

If you have exceeded the maximum load for the program, 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 

~

 Page 31

.

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.
