the following:
~It is essential to read all instructions
before using the appliance.
~Do not allow children to play on or in
the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used
near children. Always close the door
after use to prevent child hazards.
~Before this appliance is removed for

following textiles must not be dried in
this dryer:
–items which have not been washed.
–items, such as work-wear, exposed
to grease, oils, or other deposits
(such as lotions or cosmetics) in your

chemical reaction that could cause
the laundry to ignite when heated
even after being removed from the
dryer.
– items that have been previously
cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents
or other flammable or explosive
substances. They may give off

The exhaust hose or the
connection is clogged with lint.

Frequently asked questions
18

What if the "Filter/Vent" indicator lights after cleaning the exhaust system?
Possible fault Solution
The dryer is not operating efficiently
because the duct hose is too long.
Check the exhaust length and diameter
(see "How to calculate the effective
duct length"). A long exhaust hose will
increase program times and energy
consumption.
If the exhaust hose cannot be
shortened, the indicator can be turned
off by a service technician.
What if the program runs too long or stops?
Possible fault Solution
The airflow is insufficient in the area of
the dryer.
Open a window or door to increase
airflow.
The lint filters are clogged. Clean the lint filters (see "Dryer care").
The laundry was not spun sufficiently in
the washer.
Select a higher spin speed in the wash
program.
The dryer is overloaded. Reduce the load size.
Metal zippers interfere with the dryer’s
moisture sensors.
Select a timed program to avoid over
drying.
An airflow gap of 3/8" (10 mm) must be
provided between the machine and the
floor.
This gap must not be blocked by a
toe-kick or thick piled carpets for
sufficient airflow.
What if the laundry is not dry enough?
Possible fault
The load contained too many dissimilar items (size and fabric.)
What if water has collected around the drum opening?
Possible fault
This is condensed moisture from the laundry.
