The Drying Process Takes A Long Time - Miele TCJ 690 WP Operating Instructions Manual

The drying process takes a long time.

Problem
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off.*
* Switch the tumble dryer off and on again before starting a new programme.
Possible cause and remedy
The room in which the tumble dryer is located is too
warm.
 Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the
filters.
 Clean the fluff filters and the plinth filter (see
"Cleaning and care - Fluff filters and Cleaning the
plinth filter").
 Remove any visible fluff from the heat exchanger
(see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the plinth
filter").
The laundry is unevenly distributed or has rolled up.
The tumble dryer has been overloaded.
 Untangle the laundry and remove a few items, if
necessary.
 Start a programme.
The cool air intake (bottom right grille) is blocked.
 Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away
from the dryer.
The fluff filters and the plinth filter were wet when
replaced.
 The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be dry.
The laundry is too damp.
 Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing
machine.
Metallic components, e.g. zippers, have prevented
the dryer from registering the correct moisture level.
 Open the zippers next time.
 If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Warm air timed drying programme.
