Not a fault. The heat exchanger is cleaned automatically. Do not pull out 

the condensate container while this is displayed.

Dryer does not start.

Mains plug plugged in or fuse checked?

Programme selected? Select a programme.

Dryer door open? Close the door.

Is the childproof lock activated? Deactivate the childproof lock.

"Ready in" time selected? Programme starts after a delay

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 

~

 Page 23

.

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 

~

 Page 32

.

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.
