C, T 378 C, T 382, T 383 C, T 388 C
2.1 Installation as a Free-Standing Unit
To ensure fault-free operation, the appliance should be installed perfectly
level.
Any unevenness in the floor can be compensated for by adjusting the
screw-in feet at all four corners.
2.2 Installation under a Continuous Worktop
To correctly install the appliance under a continuous worktop, a “building
under” kit is required. Fitting instructions, Part no. 1508041, are included
with the kit.
Building a machine under can slightly increase drying times but does not,
though, affect energy consumption.
2.2.1 Models with Half Closed Base Plate (Initial Production Models)
These models can be built-in under certain conditions. It is essential to
ensure that sufficient air can be taken in at the rear of the machine.
They may be installed next to a washing machine. However, if the
washing machine has a décor panel front then the service panel sealing
strip should not be fitted so that air intake can also take place in this area.
If the dryer is built-in alone, gaps for air intake must total at least 100 cm2.
The approx. 10mm gap along the machine’s lower front edge should
never be reduced or blocked by deep pile carpets, skirting strips or tiles,
etc.
2.2.2 Models with Fully Closed Base Plate
These models can be built-in. It is essential to ensure that sufficient air
can be taken in at the front of the machine.
The approx. 10 mm gap along the machine’s lower front edge should
never be reduced or blocked by deep pile carpets, skirting strips or tiles,
etc.

2.3 Installation as a Washer-Dryer Stack
If the appliance is to be installed as a stack, together with a washing
machine, one of the following stacking kits will be required:

1. Unscrew the clip from the outlet connection and remove the rubber
seal (refer to Figure 2-1 – Draining the Condensate to the Rear).
2. Fit the drain hose supplied (not with T 368 C) or other suitable hose
and affix it with the clip (refer to Section 1.12.1 Rear Drainage).

4.1 Electronic Residual Moisture Detection Unit EF 102
As with most other Miele household dryers, the drying stages of this
appliance are electronically monitored and controlled. As can be seen in
the block diagram, the desired level of dryness (i.e. the desired residual
moisture level) set at the timer is passed via the printed circuit and the
pulse generator stage to the residual moisture comparator.
The 4 minute time stage prevents the timer from advancing to the next
stage too early after switching on if the level switch has not reset.
The stainless-steel drum body and its internal ribs serve as sensor
contacts to monitor the residual moisture content of the load. Once the
required dryness level has been detected, a control stage lasting 1 minute
begins. The timer will not advance to the next stage of the program
unless the correct moisture level is maintained throughout this control
stage.
The level switch closes when the condensate collector becomes too full.
This switches a relay which then sends step impulses to the timer, until it
has advanced to the “Stop” position, and also switches an LED indicator
on.

4.2 Electronic Residual Moisture Detection Unit EF 202
A low voltage signal (approx. 33 V) is passed from the electronic unit
transformer to the timer. From there, it is returned, via the timer contacts,
to the electronic unit.
This signal then charges the capacitor C1, which is in turn discharged, via
the sensors, by the damp (conductive) load in the drum.
During the drying process, the load becomes less conductive and the
capacitor C1 is charged until the desired value (Udesired) of the first
residual moisture stage is reached. At this point, charging of capacitor C2
begins. After a further minute has elapsed, this capacitor is also fully
charged, providing that no discharge has occurred due to damp items of
laundry coming into contact with the sensors.
4.2.1 Level Control
If, either due to a fault or operator error, the condensed water container is
too full, then the level switch is activated.
The level switch sends a DC signal to the second residual moisture stage.
After approx. 3.5 seconds, this switches both the stepping relay on, which
advances the timer to the “Cool Air” cycle, and also the LED warning light.
The transistor switching stage retains this state until the machine is
switched off.
