ensure good ventilation to remove exhaust heat.

The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying

always set the highest selectable spin speed for all washing
programmes.

Machine overload: please follow the load recommendation

in the progamme table and load display, do not overload
machine, because of maximum load amount for drying is lower
than for washing unload the machine after washing with
maximum load for washing and separate the load into two

Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings these

textiles easily dry on the surface, but not inside. This
equalization process may take longer. Please use time drying
programs to completely dry these kinds of textiles.

A small amount of water is
observed dripping on the
dried laundry load when the
door is opened.

Drying time is shortened with a small load. Some residual

moisture may remain in the drying system. Opening the door
quickly creates a suction effect which pulls moisture from the
drying system.

Open the door slowly. Avoid jerking the door open.

If you cannot correct a fault yourself or a repair is required:
Turn the programme selector to Â Off and pull the mains plug out of the socket.

Turn off the tap and call customer services.
