Common Questions
10 totalHow do I change the dryness level during a program?
For some automatic programmes, you can change the dryness level to make your laundry drier or less dry by pressing Cupboard Dry, Cupboard Dry Plus, or Iron Dry buttons after setting an automatic programme. Press and hold one of these buttons for approximately 3 seconds to adjust the dryness level accurately before ending the program. (Page 29)
What should I do if my appliance does not start any program?
If your tumble dryer programme does not start, check for issues such as an activated childproof lock; whether the Start button has been pressed correctly; and whether a valid programme is set. (Page 56)
How do I empty the fluff filter?
After each drying cycle ends or if the display indicates it’s necessary, open the door to access the two-part fluff filter. Remove any accumulated lint and clean both parts under warm water before reinserting them into place inside the appliance. (Page 35)
What causes unusual noises in my tumble dryer?
A humming noise from a running compressor is normal, and it may also produce pumping or buzzing sounds due to the condensation pump and ventilation system. These are standard operational noises; no action required unless other faults persist (Page 54).
How do I clean the moisture sensor?
The moisture sensor can accumulate residue over time. To clean it, open the door and gently wipe down the sensor with a soft sponge to remove build-ups without damaging it (Page 48).
How do I reset my appliance?
To restore your tumble dryer to factory settings, press and hold the basic settings button ‘rES’ until the display confirms a successful reset. This clears all personal configurations and returns to default setup (Page 45).
