							Cleaning the condenser unit
Detergent residue, hair and fine fluff
from the dryer can get through the fluff
filters and block the condenser unit.
Dust from the room in which the dryer is
installed can also get into the
condenser unit and cause a blockage.
Checkthe condenser unit at least
once a year. Always check it if the
Clean out airwaysindicator light
comes on. Clean it if necessary.
Removing the condenser unit
Open the service panel. Hold the
panel securely when doing this.

Now remove the panel by pulling it
diagonally upwards and place it to
one side.Turn the lever on the inner cover
downwards to the vertical position.
Tilt the cover forwards.
Remove it by pulling it diagonally
upwards.

Turn the lever on the condenser unit
upwards to the vertical position so
that the hook on the lever is no longer
in the groove at the bottom of the
condenser unit housing.

							Then flush the unit through from the
front.
Check the condenser unit again for
any visible fluff and if necessary flush
it through again until it has all gone.
Repeat as required.
Also make sure the rubber seals are
clean.
The rubber seals must not be
removed and must be free of kinks.

Shake the water off the condenser
unit until no more droplets of water
are visible.

position in its housing.
Turn the lever down to the horizontal
position, making sure that the hook
on the lever clicks into the groove.
When replacing the inner cover after
cleaning, ensure that the rubber
seal fits correctly into the groove.
Replace the inner cover making sure
the hooks locate correctly. Hold it at
an angle and push it gently
downwards.
Then turn the lever upwards into the
horizontal position to lock the cover.

							Problem Possible cause Remedy
TheClean out
airwaysindicator
light comes on.The dryer is not working
efficiently or economically.
Possible cause: the filters
are clogged with fluff or with
detergent residues.–Cleaning the filters is
usually all that is required.
However, if the reminder
does not go out after you

then also check all the
possible causes
described under The
drying process goes on
too long or even switches
off.
To switch off this
reminder:
– Open and shut the door
with the dryer switched
on.
TheClean out airways
indicator light can be
deactivated (see
Programmable functions).

							An unsatisfactory drying result
Problem Possible cause Remedy
The laundry is not
sufficiently dry.The load consisted of
different fabrics.–Finish drying using the
Warm airprogramme.
–Select a different
programme next time *.
Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying.Synthetic fibres tend to
attract static charge.Static charge can be
reduced by adding a
fabric conditioner to the
final rinse in the washing
programme or a fabric
conditioner sheet to the
load when drying.
There is a build-up of
fluff.Fluff is principally the
result of friction when
garments are being worn
and to some extent when
they are being washed.
Machine drying does not
affect the lifetime of the
fabric.Fluff is collected by the
fluff filters and can be
removed easily (see
Cleaning and care).
* You can alter the drying levels for some programmes (see Programmable
functions at the the end of this booklet).

							Other problems
Problem Possible cause Remedy
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off.In some circumstances, the
Clean out airwaysindicator
light still comes on, even
though the filters are clean.Please check all the
possible causes and
switch the dryer off and
then back on again.
Ventilation to and from the
dryer may be insufficient,
e.g. because it is installed in
a room which is too small.
This can cause the
temperature in the room to
rise sharply.Open a door or window
while the dryer is in
operation for increased air
flow.
The vents below the door are
blocked.– Remove any objects
that are blocking the
vents.
The fluff filters are clogged
up with fluff or were still wet
when they were replaced.– Remove any fluff.
– The fluff filters must be
completely dry.
Detergent residues, hair and
fine fibres can block the
condenser unit.Check the condenser unit
from time to time and
clean it if necessary.
The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.Make sure that your
laundry is thoroughly spun
at the appropriate spin
speed in the washing
machine.
The tumble dryer has been
overloaded.Do not exceed the
maximum load for the
programme selected.
Metallic components, e.g.
zips have prevented the
dryer from registering the
correct moisture level in the
laundry.–
Open zips next time.
If the problem occurs
again, dry garments with
long zips using theWarm
airprogramme (timed
drying).
