■ Adjust the drying time or increase the degree of dryness. This will
extend the drying time but the temperature will remain the same.
■ Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is

■ Select a timed programme for a small load.
■ Do not exceed the maximum load for a programme.~ Page 26
■ Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become cov-
ered in a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product resi-

Note: The appliance's automatic self-cleaning function uses the
condensed water from your laundry. If you regularly dry loads weigh-
ing less than 3 kg or you regularly use the crease-removal function,
there will not be enough condensed water from your laundry to run
the appliance's automatic self-cleaning function. You should there-
fore dry loads weighing more than 3 kg on a regular basis, making
sure that the laundry has not been pre-dried.
■ The heat exchanger may have fluff in it.
– Run the basic appliance care programme. ~ Page 58
■ If the fluff filter is damp, this may increase the drying time and affect
the drying result. Dry the base unit's fluff filter thoroughly after rins-
ing it.~ Page 53
■ If the air inlet on the appliance is blocked or not fully open, this may
increase the drying time. Make sure the air inlet remains unob-
structed.
■ If the ambient temperature is lower than 15 °C or higher than 30 °C,
this may increase the drying time and affect the drying result.
■ If the air circulation in the room is inadequate, this may increase the
drying time. Make sure the room is adequately ventilated.
