• Water tank icon (flashing): Water tank is full. The icon flashes and the machine goes into stand-by because the water tank has filled up during the program.

• Condenser warning icon (flashing): Condenser front is clogged. Fibres have built up on the front of the condenser and it needs cleaning.

• Wi-Fi icon (flashing continuously): Dryer is not connected to the network. The product may not be connected to the wireless network, or the network device is out of range or faulty.
