6 Operating the appliance
Duration remaining indicator
No duration remaining indicator appears for the automatic programmes in the
room air drying operating mode.
When the programme starts, the programme dura-
tion at maximum load is displayed. The actual load
is determined and the expected duration remaining
is calculated, which takes about 1 minute. The letter
«h» flashes and «Determining load» appears in the
display. The expected duration remaining is sub-
sequently displayed.
The programme may possibly take longer than ini-
tially calculated. In this case, the duration remaining
freezes while the programme runs. The letter «h»
flashes again and «Calculating time remaining» ap-
pears in the display.

Phases
Tumble drying
The drying process has 3 phases:
▪
Drying:
The laundry is dried as per the settings (programme selection and user set-
tings).
▪
Cooling down / Final airing
: The laundry is cooled down to a temperature at which the
risk of creasing is minimized. The duration of this phase depends on the temperature
of the laundry. «Crease guard» starts if the appliance is not unloaded when this phase
ends.
▪
Crease guard
: The dried laundry is moved at frequent intervals for up to 30 minutes to
prevent creasing. Open the appliance door to end before time.
Room air laundry drying
The following phases can appear at the start of the programme:
▪
Drying:
The laundry is dried as per the settings (programme selection and user set-
tings).
▪
Measuring:
The appliance is in standby mode. It is not drying the laundry, rather it is
measuring the moisture in the room. As soon as the actual moisture in the room ex-
ceeds the target moisture, the appliance resumes the drying phase.
▪
Resting phase:
Operation is interrupted for a few hours if the target moisture is not
reached so as to protect the appliance from running continuously. After a resting
phase and depending on the actual moisture in the room, the appliance enters a dry-
ing phase or a measuring phase.
