Possible causes / Solutions:
• The plug is not plugged into the socket, or not making contact.
• There has been a power failure.
• The fuse has blown. Try to plug another appliance into the socket.
• You are using an extension cord. Try to plug the dryer's power cord
directly into the socket.
• The door is not closed securely.
• The PROGRAMMES knob has not been set properly (see Start and
Programmes).
• The START button has not been pressed (see Start and Programmes).
• You have set a delay time (see Start and Programmes).
• The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).
• The temperature setting is not ideal for the type of fabric you are
drying (see Start and Programmes, and Laundry ).
• The water container needs emptying? The empty water light is
flashing? (see Maintenance).
• The condenser needs cleaning (see Maintenance).
• The correct drying time has not been selected for this load
(see Laundry).
• The air intake grille or rear vents are obstructed (see Installation and
see Maintenance).
• The items are too wet (see Laundry).
• The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).
• The water container was probably not emptied at the start of the
programme. Do not wait for the empty water signal always check and
empty the container before starting a new drying programme. (see
Maintenance).
•
This is normal the light flashes when the container is full. If the light is on
but not flashing its just a reminder to empty the container. (see Start and
Programmes
•
Note down the other lights that are on and contact the service centre
(see Service)
! For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 3 hours. If an
automatic programme has not sensed the required final moisture in this
time the dryer will complete the programme and stop. Check the above
points and run the programme again, if the results are still to damp,
contact the service centre (see Service).
