SOUNDS
(depending on the model)
INFORMATION!
In the initial stage of drying or during drying, the compressor and the pump may cause noise
which, however, does not affect the dryer operation.
Humming sound: this is the sound of the compressor unit. The level of noise depends on the program
and the drying stage.
Whirring sound: from time to time, the compressor unit is ventilated.
Pumping or liquid flowing sound: the pump is pumping the condensate into the condensate tank.
Clicking sound: clicking noise is caused by automatic cleaning of the heat exchanger (compressor).
Rustling water sound: can be heard during automatic cleaning.
Rattling sound: can be heard during drying if laundry has any hard parts (buttons, zippers etc.)
