being worn and to some extent when they are being
washed. By contrast, the tumble dryer exerts barely any
stress on the garments, which means it hardly affects their
lifespan.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filter and can be easily re-

moved (see "Cleaning and care").
The tumble dryer is installed on a shared exhaust air duct.
The tumble dryer must always be installed with a non-re-

turn flap when using a combined line.
Check the non-return flap for possible defects on a regu-

lar basis and replace the flap if necessary.
In some circumstances, you may be asked to clean the air
channels/air guide.
Please check all the possible causes described below.

The fluff filter is clogged with fluff.
Remove the fluff.

The air guide area is clogged with hair and fluff, for ex-
ample.
Clean the air guide area.

You can remove the cover in the loading area to clean

the air guide area underneath.
The vent ducting or its openings are clogged with hair and
fluff, for example.
Check and clean all components in the vent ducting (e.g.

wall pipe, external grille, bends, elbows, etc.).
The flow of air is insufficient (e.g. because it is installed in a
small room).
When drying, open a door or window to ensure sufficient

ventilation.
The laundry has not been spun sufficiently.
Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun at the

appropriate spin speed in the washing machine.
The dryer has been overloaded.
Do not exceed the maximum load size for the drying pro-

gramme selected.
Metallic components, e.g. zips, have prevented the tumble
dryer from registering the correct laundry moisture level.
Open any zips next time.

If the problem occurs again, dry garments with long zips

using the hot air drying programme.
