Cause/Remedy
Not a fault – unbalanced load detection system has stopped the spin cycle,
■
washing unevenly distributed. Distribute small and large items of washing
in the drum.
Too low speed selected?
■
Not a fault – unbalanced load detection system adjusts imbalance.
Remove the insert. Clean the detergent drawer and reinsert it ~ Page 28
Run the Fluff Clean 7 90°C programme without laundry.
■
Use standard detergents.
■
Too much detergent used?
Mix 1 tablespoon of fabric softener with ½ litre of water and pour into
■
dispenser II. (Not for outdoor, sports and down-filled textiles!)
Reduce detergent dosage for the next wash cycle.
■

■
are suitable for washer dryers.

■
This is an innovative process known as thermal spinning used to reduce energy
consumption during the drying phase.
Run the Fluff Clean 7 cold programme without laundry inside to remove fluff
which has collected in the washer drum during the drying phase.
The washer dryer includes a self cleaning function to remove fluff that is
released from laundry during drying. This is done with the help of a small
amount of tap water. The water tap must be opened during drying.
According to the air cooling principle, a higher ambient temperature will
■
result in poor drying performance, so the drying duration will be extended.
Ensure good ventilation to remove exhaust heat.
Air inlet filter blocked? ~ Page 30
