Start/Stop button flashing slowly with dark display — Dryer in standby

What does Start/Stop button flashing slowly mean?

The display is dark and the 'Start/Stop' button flashes slowly. This is a normal standby function designed to save energy and does not indicate a fault. The drum may still turn at intervals if the anti-crease phase is active.

• The dryer has entered standby mode after a period of inactivity to conserve energy.
• The appliance is functioning normally according to its energy-saving settings.
