●The door is not closed securely?
●The PROGRAMMES knob has not been set properly (see Start and Programmes).
●The START button has not been pressed (see Start and Programmes).

●The air intake grille or rear vents are obstructed (see Installation, and see Maintenance).
●The items were too wet (see Laundry).
●The dryer was overloaded (see Laundry).
Empty water light is flashing but the dryer has only been running for a short period.
Empty water light is on and the water container is not full.
The ON/OFF light flashes to indicate a fault.
Programme finishes and clothes are damper than expected.
●The water container was probably not emptied at the start of the programme. Do not wait for the empty water signal, always check and empty the container before starting a new drying programme (see Maintenance).
●This is normal, the light flashes when the container is full. If the light is on but not flashing it is just a reminder to empty the container (see Start and Programmes).
●If the ON/OFF light flashes together with the Time Delay and High Heat lights; Or the ON/OFF light flashes together with the Time Delay, Alarm, High Heat and Empty Water lights, then:
-Turn off and remove the plug. Clean the filter and the condenser
(see Maintenance). Then replace the plug, turn on and start another programme. If the same combination of lights still flash contact the Service Centre (see Service).
●If any other combination of lights flash: Note down the other lights that are flashing and contact the Service Centre (see Service).
!For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 3 hours. If an automatic programme has not sensed the required final moisture in this time the dryer will complete the programme and stop. Check the above points and run the programme again, if the results are still damp, contact the Service Centre (see Service).
