Faults and what to do about them en

en Faults and what to do about them
Faults Cause/Remedy
There is detergent resi­due on the laundry.
Spin during the drying phase.
Some phosphate-free detergents contain water-insoluble residue.
Select Rinse à or brush the laundry after washing.
This is an innovative process known as thermal spinning used to reduce energy consumption during the drying phase. It is designed like this, please wait until program finished.
Fluff found on the laundry. Run the Cottons i (cold) programme without laundry and detergent to
remove fluff which have accumulated inside the drum during the previous dry­ing cycle.
Water inlet noise during the drying phase.
The washer dryer uses water condensation technology, water is constantly needed to dry the laundry. Therefore the water tap must be on all the time, till the end of the drying phase.
Drying duration extended. Run the Cottons i (cold) programme to remove fluff which has col-
lected in the washer drum during the drying phase.
If the ambient temperature is higher than 30 °C, this may extend the drying
time.
Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-
late the room.
Drying programme does not start.
Drying additional programme setting not selected?
Door not closed properly?
Creasing. Creasing occurs when you have exceeded the maximum load or selected
the wrong program for the type of fabric. All the required information can be found in the programme overview table.
Remove clothes immediately after drying; creasing may occur if they are
left in the drum.

After-sales service en
Faults Cause/Remedy
The drying result is not satisfactory (laundry is not dry enough).
After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actu-
ally is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
Excessively high ambient temperature (above 30 °C) or inadequate ventila-
tion in the room in which the washer dryer is situated.
The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying. Always set the
highest selectable spin speed for the particular washing programme.
Washer dryer overloaded: Observe the recommendations for the maximum
load in the programme table and on the load display. Do not overload the washer dryer, as the maximum load for the drying phase is less than the maximum load for the wash cycle. Unload the washer dryer after washing with the maximum load and divide the laundry into two drying cycles.
The power supply voltage is too low (below 200 V) – provide a suitable
power supply.
The water pressure is low. According to water condensing principle, low
water pressure will cause evaporated steam to not condense properly and completely.
The water tap is closed during drying. Due to the use of the water conden-
sation technology for drying, please keep the connected water tap open during the drying process, otherwise proper drying cannot be guaranteed.
Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings dry easily on the sur-
face, but not inside. This equalisation process may take longer.
If you cannot rectify a fault yourself (after turning the programme selector to Off and on again) or a repair is required:
Turn the programme selector to Off. Pull out the mains plug.
Turn off the tap and call customer services.
