Error 'empty reservoir' appears

'Empty reservoir' notification

When the light for the condenser reservoir comes on, the container is full. Remove the reservoir from the dryer and empty it in the sink. When you put the container back and start the dryer cycle, the notification should disappear. Is your dryer connected to the water drain and do you still see this error? Check the manual to learn how you can manually turn off the light. Also make sure there's no loop in the drain hose. In addition, the drain shouldn't be higher up than 1m.
