Error messages on the display

once the error has been rectified.
«CHILD LOCK ACTIVE»

button (see chapter «Basic settings»).

«EMERGENCY-STOP PRESSED»
l The emergency stop button is only to be used in the
event of danger and causes the dryer to stop immedia-
tely. When actuated, the switch remains locked.
l Please do not use the emergency stop button to stop
the dryer during normal operation.
l Once the fault has been rectified or the danger remo-
ved, the actuated emergency stop button can be
released by turning the red mushroom-head button
clockwise.
l To restart the tumble dryer, unlock the emergency but-
ton and press the start button.
«MAINS SUPPLY BLOCKED»
l In the case of electrically-heated machines, the appli-
ance may be shut down by external energy management
systems at times of peak power loads.
l The mains blocking causes the heating to shut down
and the dryer goes over to the cool-down cycle and
then into the anti-crease cycle.
l In this condition all operating buttons are blocked ex-
cept for the Fast forward button, and the time remaining
display is stopped. The control light for the start button
lights up.
u When the mains blocking is ended, the drying pro-
gramme is resumed automatically and the display reac-
tivated. The heating is switched back on after a 15-
second delay.
If the machine displays an F - - error message:
u Interrupt the programme using the fast forward but-
ton and select a new programme.
If error messages appear repeatedly:
u Switch off the power for around 1 minute and switch it
back on again. (Pull out the plug or switch off at the
wall).
l The machine is ready for use again when the program-
me control lights flash.
u Select a new programme.
If an error message appears again:
57
u Make a note of the error message.
u Unplug the machine or switch it off at the wall.
u Notify customer services.

te the machine press any button.

re the power failure, it will automatically be continued
after the power failure.

The drying target was not achieved:
When warm, laundry feels more moist than it actually is!
Remove the laundry from the dryer and let it cool.
When still moist:
u Clean filter (See chapter «Cleaning and Maintenance,
Cleaning the filter»).
u Increase degree of drying (see chapter «Basic set-
tings»)
The individual laundry piece does not reach the set dry-
ing target:
u If one single piece is to be dried in the dryer, it will be
dried more evenly by adding additional pieces as bal-
last, e.g. two (dry) terry towels.
The drying takes too long:
u Clean filter (See chapter «Cleaning and Maintenance,
Cleaning the filter»).
u Power failure (note lock times of EW).
The laundry is not dry after the maximum
possible settings:
u Drum is overloaded (see chapter «Programme sur-
vey»).
u Laundry not sufficiently spun.
u Insufficient room ventilation (open a window or door).
u The filter is blocked with fluff (See chapter «Cleaning
and Maintenance, Cleaning the filter»).
u Check whether the building vent is blocked.
u Check that the permitted pipe lengths and diameters
conform to the installation instructions.
Dampness in the room increases significantly:
u The room does not have sufficient ventilation.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
