Unsuitable programme selected page 7.
After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actually is. Spread the
laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
Finely adjust the dryness level – this extends the drying time but does not increase the
temperature. Your laundry will become drier.
Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the drying level. This does not
increase the temperature.
Select a time programme for extended drying of laundry that is still damp.
If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry may not be dried
correctly.
Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. A fine layer of limescale may adversely affect the
performance of the sensors and your washing will not dry properly.
Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the condensate container
is full or because the maximum drying time has been exceeded.
Clean the fluff filters under running water page 4/8.
Insufficient supply of air Ensure that air can circulate.

may increase.
Clean the fluff filter page 4,8/12.
Check the installation conditions page 9.
Switch off, allow to cool, switch back on and restart the programme.
Remove the laundry from the dryer immediately and spread out. This allows the heat to
dissipate. Be careful as the door, the drum and the laundry may be hot.
Not an error.
