10.4 Cleaning the humidity
sensor
CAUTION!
Risk of humidity sensor
damage. Do not use
abrasive materials or steel
wool to clean the sensor.
To assure best drying results the
appliance is equipped with metal
humidity sensor. It is placed on the inner
side of the door area.
Over usage time the surface of the
sensor may get dirty what deteriorates
the drying performance.
We recommend to clean the sensor at
least 3 or 4 times or if you observe the
drop of drying performance.
To clean you can use harder side of
dish-washing sponge and bit of vinegar
or dish soap.
To clean the sensor:
1. Open the loading door.
2. Clean the surfaces of the humidity
sensor wiping off the metal surface
several times.
10.5 Cleaning the drum
WARNING!
Disconnect the appliance
before you clean it.
Use a standard neutral soap detergent to
clean the inner surface of the drum and
drum lifters. Dry the cleaned surfaces
with a soft cloth.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive
materials or steel wool to
clean the drum.
10.6 Cleaning the control
panel and housing
Use a standard neutral soap detergent to
clean the control panel and housing.
Use a moist cloth to clean. Dry the
cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth.
CAUTION!
Do not use furniture cleaning
agents or cleaning agents
which can cause corrosion.

Problem Possible cause Remedy
The drying cycle
is too short.
The load size is small. Select a time programme. The
time value must be related to the
load. To dry one item or a small
amount of laundry we recommend
short drying times.
The laundry is too dry. Select an appropriate time pro‐
gramme or a higher dryness level
(e.g.
extra dry
)
Drying cycle too
long

ciently.
Spin the laundry well in the wash‐
ing machine.
Too low or too high room tempera‐
ture - this is not the appliance mal‐
function.
Ensure a room temperature higher
than +5°C and lower than +35°C.
Optimal room temperature to ach‐
ieve best drying results is between
18°-25°C.
1)
Follow the programme description — see the PROGRAMMES chapter .
2)
See the
CARE AND CLEANING
chapter.
3)
Only dryers with the Dryness Level option.

Note: After a maximum of 6 hours the drying cycle ends automatically.
11.3 Possible causes of
unsatisfactory drying results:
• The filter is clogged. Clogged filter
makes drying inefficient.
• The airflow slots are clogged.
• The humidity sensor is dirty.
• The drum is dirty.
• Inadequate default dryness level
settings. See chapter
Adjustment of
default dryness level
• Room temperature is too low or too
high. Optimal room temperature is
between 18°-25°C.
