A Prepare the laundry ^ As far as possible, sort laundr y for: - the type of fibre or weave, - the degree of dryness requir ed, - similar size of items, - the moisture content after spinning. This will help towards achieving an even drying result. Fasten duvet covers etc.
C Selecting a programme ^ T ur n the programme selector to the programme r equired. COTTONS and MINIMUM IRON The length of the programme is elec- tronically calculated accor ding to the residual moistur e content of the load. Approx. drying times are given in the "Consumption data" chart.
Short For drying fabrics which can with - stand high temperatures, e.g. pur e linens and cottons. Do not use on minimum iron or delicate fabrics. – Because the heater rating is in - creased clothes dry faster thus short - ening drying times. Low temperature For drying delicate fabrics with the symbol r (e.
F Starting a programme ^ Press the ST ART button. The drying cycle begins. The dr ying stage reached is shown by the se - quence indicator lights on the right hand side of the control panel. At the end of the drying phase a cool - ing down phase commences to cool the laundry down.

With the help of the following notes minor faults in the perfor mance of the appli - ance, some of which may result fr om incorrect operation, can be put right without contacting the Service Department.
Prob lem P ossible cause Remedy There is a build up of fluff. Fluff is principally the r esult of friction when garments are being worn and washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluf f to form and, as has been es - tablished by resear ch insti - tutes, has no effect on the lifetime of fabric.
Prob lem P ossible cause Remedy The drying process goes on too long or even s witches off . Important: Before attempting to remedy one of the fol - lowing causes, switch the dryer off and switch on again to start the programme again. V entilation to the dr yer is in - sufficient (e.
Check indicator lamps Prob lem P ossible cause Remedy The "Locked" indi - cator lamp flashes when the machine is switc hed on and the programme cannot be started. The system lock is acti - vated. If you wish to use the dryer , the system lock must be de - activated (see "Electronic sys - tem lock").
Prob lem P ossible cause Remedy The programme stops and the "Clean out air - ways" indicator lamp flashes. Possible causes and remedies ar e described above in ‘The "Clean out airways" lamp comes on.’ No obvious cause. – Switch the dryer off.
Fault P ossible cause Remedy After the beginning of the programme the f ol - lowing symbols flash in the display: " === ... -== ... == ... ". This is not a fault. The electronic unit is cal - culating the drying time for the programme (see "Guide to the appliance").
T o c hange the interior drum lamp ^ Open the door . Before changing the lamp, discon - nect the machine from the mains power supply . Y ou will find the interior lamp cover at the top of the drum aperture. ^ Insert the opener under the side edge of the cover as illustrated.

Installation site T ransporting the machine to its installation site When moving the machine you can hold it by the lid where it pr otrudes to the rear of the dryer . T o manoeuvre the dryer out of its pack - ing case to its installation site you will also need to hold it by the front feet.
Aligning the machine The machine must be perfectly level to ensure safe and pr oper operation. ^ The screw feet can be adjusted to compensate for any unevenness in the floor . , A ventilation gap of 10 mm must be maintained between the base of the machine and the floor .
Electrical connection U .K. All electrical work should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and compe - tent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. Ensure power is not supplied to the ap - pliance while installation work is being carried out.

General Important Before operating the appliance, a suitable venting system must be in - stalled to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside. – Before installing the ducting system, ensure that the appliance is not con - nected to the power supply .
Calculating the effective duct length: Friction against the inner walls of the vent duct will slow down the expelled air as it passes through the duct. An el - bow , bend, non-return flap or wall vent creates mor e friction than a straight duct. The friction created by each of these is expressed as an ad ditional length factor .
3. Example A W all pipe, with louvred vent = 1 x 3.8 m Additional duct length = 3.8 m B/D 2 Elbows, 90° = 2 x 0.8 m Additional duct length = 1.6 m C 0.5 m plastic piping = 0.5 x 1 m Additional duct length = 0.5 m E Side connection, left = 1 m Additional duct length = 1.
V enting systems The various venting systems which are possible are described on the following pages. a Flexible ducting hose b Plastic piping or galvaninsed steel piping c Connecting directly to the wall vent a Flexib le ducting hose This is a simple, cost effective way of directing the moist air outside.
Installation examples - venting sys - tem with flexible hose Window vent 1. Window vent kit (fitted in a "plexi- glass" pane) (separate fitting instructions are sup- plied with the Miele window vent kit) 2. Adapter for flexible hose Connection to an exhaust flue 1.
b V enting system with plastic piping Plastic piping is a good option where the vented air has to be ducted for some distance. The smooth walls of the pipe create less friction for the vented air than the walls of a flexible vent hose, for example. Time and energy consumption are better with plastic piping.
c Connecting directly to a wall vent The best method of venting the dryer is to connect it directly to the outside wall of a room. This involves boring through an outside wall. Because the ducting is very shor t this system is very efficient in terms of time and en - ergy consumption.
