  For safety reasons, the dryer programmes last a maximum of 4 hours. If an 

automatic programme has not detected the final dampness level required in this 

interval, the dryer completes the programme and stops. Check the above points and 

repeat the programme; if the items are still damp, contact the Technical Assistance 

Centre (see Assistance).

•  This is normal, especially if the dryer has not been used for a long time. If the noise 

persists during the entire cycle, contact the Technical Assistance Centre.

•  The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have left 

the dryer on or have had a power cut. It occurs after 30 minutes: 

- if you leave the dryer without starting a programme; 

- after your drying programme has finished.
