Opening the door while the

running stops the appliance. It may affect
the energy consumption and the
programme duration. After closing the
door, the appliance continues from the
point of interruption.
If the door is opened for
more than 30 seconds
during the drying phase, the
running programme ends. It
does not happen if the door
is opened by AirDry
function.
Do not try to close the
appliance door within 2
minutes after AirDry
automatically opens it, as
this may cause damage to
the appliance.
If, afterwards, the door is
closed for another 3
minutes, the running
programme ends.
