Cause . . .

. . . the “Locked” indicator
light flashes when the ma-
chine is switched on
The system lock is activated.
The programme cannot be
started.
See section “Electronic system
lock”.
. . . the “Locked” indicator
light comes on during drying
That is not a fault.
The light will go out at the end of
the programme.
. . . the “Drying” indicator
light flashes
The programme selector was
moved after the beginning of
the programme, but the
programme will continue to run
correctly.
Turn the programme selector
back to its original position and
the light will go out.
. . . the “Anti-crease/Finish”
light is flashing
There could be a fault.
–
Turn the machine off and on
again.
–
Select a programme and
press “START”.
Surrounding temperatures
below freezing are affecting the
machine.
–
Install the appliance in a
warmer room.
If the light continues to flash, there
could be a technical fault.
Contact the Miele Service
Department.
. . . the “Clean out airways” in-
dicator light comes on
Important:
Switch the dryer off with the "l-On/0-Off" button.
The fluff filter in the door is
blocked.
Clean the fluff filter when the
programme has finished. (See
section “Cleaning and care”.)
The vent ducting is blocked.
Check the vent ducting and
ventilation outlet.
The ventilation outlet (eg
window or wall vent) is blocked.
Ventilation to and from the dryer
is insufficient (eg in a small
room).
Open a door or window while
drying for increased air flow.
. . . the "Clean out airways" in-
dicator light is still on after
the fluff filter has been
cleaned
The ducting is very long.
See section “Installation -
venting” on calculating length
and diameter. See also notes in
"How to dry correctly".
If very long ducting is used then programme times will be longer and
energy consumption higher
. . . the programme is interrupted
and the “Anti-crease/Finish”
light comes on
If there is no laundry in the drum when the programme is started, the
electronics will register this and stop the programme. The
programme will also be interrupted if the laundry placed in the drum
is already dry.
