The drying times are too long:

- the filter in the drum is clogged with fluff.

- the laundry has been spun enough beforehand

(500rpm minimum, but spinning at 850rpm provides

better drying times).

- the room temperature is not too high, particularly if

the room is small: if necessary, open the door or

- the condenser is not clogged.

- the air inlets and outlets are unobstructed enough to

ensure correct air circulation.

The laundry is too damp:

- the filter in the drum is clogged with fluff.

- the type of laundry has been selected correctly or if

the drying time is good enough.

- the condenser is not blocked by fluff.

The laundry is too dry, too creased:

- the drying time selected is too long: the drying time

is better to be too short than too long: this avoids

the laundry becoming too dry and difficult to iron.

The items are unevenly dried:

- the types of textiles in the load are too different (e.g.

sheets together with jeans).

- the laundry has been laid correctly ‘unfolded’ in the

- the drum is not overloaded.

The synthetic items are loaded with

- the laundry has been dried too much.

- you have used softener during washing. By using

this product, you can reduce most of the problems

with static electricity.

The “Tank Full” indicator light is lit:

- the condensate container is full: once you have emp-

tied it, re-insert it correctly, pushing it completely

The “Tank Full” indicator light illumi-

nates although the tank is empty:

- the container has been properly inserted: push it in

- the condenser is tightly locked on the two sides.

4.5 - DIRECT EVACUATION OF WATER CONDEN-

To fit this:— Take off the existing pipe and push it insidethe appliance(Fig. 4.5.1).— Clip the deflector with the top of the pump(Fig. 4.5.1).— Connect the hose from the kit to the end

C B A connector on the appliancl (Fig. 4.5.2).You can connect the other end of the hose either:- To a ventilated trap (Fig. 4.5.3).- Or a sink trap (Fig. 4.5.4).When connecting to a trap, you must remove the fil-ler plug. Then press home the rubber tip. If neces-sary, add a clamp connection(Fig. 4.5.4).— (*) This kit is provided with the appliance or isavailable near your After-sales service (accordingto model). — The deflector must necessarily be positioned before the drain hose connection.
