Issue

Applies to

  • Washer Dryer
  • Vented Dryer

Solution

Product Drying functions

Sensor Dry Cycles

Automatic Drying programs

Humidity sensors are activated throughout each cycle to eliminate over drying, which can be harmful to fabrics.

Time Dry

You can set the program duration, from a minimum of 10 minutes to a maximum of 2 hours. The required duration is related to the quantity of laundry in the appliance.

We recommend that you set a short duration for small quantities of laundry or for only one item

Preparing the load

  • Do not dry large and small items together. Small items can be trapped inside the large items and remain wet.
  • Shake the large clothes, fabrics before placing in the tumble dryer. It is to avoid moist places inside the fabric after the drying cycle.
  • Do not exceed the maximum load stated in the programs chapter or shown on the display.
  • Ensure that you have the correct size load in the tumble dryer for the program (the maximum load per cycle can be found in the user manual).
  • Load is too small, increase the load or use the Time Drying program.

Set the Dryness Level to Extra Dry

This function helps to increase dryness of the laundry.

There are 3 options: • Extra Dry • Cupboard Dry • Iron Dry

Adjustment of the remaining moisture (Heat Pump and Condenser Dryers)

Check the setting is - 0 - for maximum

  • Make sure that the filter is clean. Check the fluff filter is clean and empty before the drying cycle.
  • Check if the “water tank full” indicator is lit (if present). The appliance will stop the cycle if the water tank is full. Empty the tank and restart the cycle.
  • Check the Heat Exchanger is clean and clear. Disconnect the appliance before you clean it.
