drying process at the end of the programme.
When the drying assistance function is activated the Comfort door
lock opens the door a little at the end of the programme, allowing
steam to escape from the wash cabinet. The load items dry passively
from the residual warmth in the wash cabinet.
A cooldown pause follows the wash phase. During this pause, water
vapour is extracted from the wash cabinet and condensed by the
steam condenser. This reduces the moisture level in the wash
cabinet, which promotes drying. In addition, this cools the wash
cabinet slightly.

any time. After the drying time elapses, the message

appears on the display. Opening the door before the drying
time elapses ends the programme prematurely.
