IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using your appliance follow basic precautions, including the following:

The T982 gas dryer is only approved for use in the USA and Canada. It is not approved for use in Mexico.

This dryer is intended for residential use only!

It is essential to read all instructions

before using the appliance.

Do not allow children to play on or in

the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

Always close the door after use to

prevent child or pet hazards.

Before this appliance is removed for

service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

Do not reach into the dryer if the

drum is moving.

Do not install or store the appliance

where it will be exposed to the weather.

Do not lean on the door. The dryer

may tip over.

Do not tamper

with the controls.

Do not use fabric softeners or

products to eliminate static unless recommended by the fabric manufacturer.

To prevent the risk of fire, the

following textiles must not be dried in this dryer:

items which have not been washed.

–

items, such as work-wear, exposed

–

to grease, oils, or other deposits (such as lotions or cosmetics). If these items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that they may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause the laundry to ignite when heated even after being removed from the dryer.

– items that have been previously

cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances. They may give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

– items treated with flammable

cleaning agents or items containing acetone, alcohol, petrol, stain remover, wax or chemicals from buffing, etc.

–

items which have been splashed with hair spray, nail polish remover, etc.

When washing heavily soiled items ensure that sufficient detergent is used with a high temperature. If in doubt wash the item several times.

–

items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

–

items with padding or filling (e.g. pillows or jackets) which have been damaged. Loose filling could catch fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Allow the dryer to complete each

stage of the program selected, including the cooling down phase. This will ensure that the items being removed are not too hot to handle.

Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in these Operating instructions. Repairs to appliances should only be performed by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user.

Clean the lint filter before or after

each load.

Keep the area around the air intake

(toe-kick) and adjacent surrounding areas free from lint, dust and dirt.

The interior of the machine and

exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified personnel.

Danger of suffocation or

toxication Adequate ventilation is essential, especially when another appliance which also uses the room air (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow or other water heater) is installed in the same or an adjacent room. Allow sufficient room ventilation by unlockable ventilation openings in the wall. Check with your building inspector for a riskless use to avoid a low pressure of 4 Pa or more.

The dryer must only run if the moist

exhaust air is conducted outside by an installed exhaust duct vent. Provide sufficient venting in the room where the dryer is installed, e.g. by opening a window.

This dryer must not be used without

an exhaust hose, lint filter or a damaged lint filter.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not install or use a dryer with

visible damage.

Proper installation is the

responsibility of the installer.

WARNING – Improper connection of

the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Product failure due to improper

installation is not covered under the Warranty.

Gas dryers are not approved for

mobile home installation.

Check regularly on the exhaust

parts (e.g. wall vent duct, louvered wall vent, bends, etc.) if enough air gets through. Lint can collect and block the air flow. If an exhaust hose is already installed, it should be checked before connected to the dryer.

Faulty components must only be

replaced with original Miele spare parts.

If the power cord is damaged it

must only be replaced by a Miele Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord.

Using accessories

Only use genuine Miele

accessories. If unapproved parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may become void.

First use

Before loading the dryer

Clean the drum interior before the first use.

Fabric care labels

Before drying, check fabric care labels for special drying instructions.

q = Drying with a normal temperature r = Drying with a low temperature s = Do not dry in a tumble dryer

Drying tips

– Observe the maximum loads, see the

"Program Guide".

Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying results and wrinkling.

– Dry delicate fabrics with the fabric

care symbol r with the "Gentle" option.

–

Do not dry dripping wet items in the dryer. Spin the laundry after the wash for at least 30 seconds.

–

Open jackets to allow even drying.

The fine cotton fabric or down filled

–

items tends to shrink.

Dry pure linen items only if it is

–

advised on the fabric care label. The surface of the fabric otherwise tends to become "rough".

Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and

–

underwear) tend to shrink when washed and dried for the first time. Do not over-dry these fabrics.

Permanent press and delicate

–

fabrics tend to crease more the bigger the load size. For better drying results reduce the load size or select the "Delicates" program.

– Starched laundry can be dried in the

tumble dryer. However, the amount of starch must be doubled during the wash.

– Wash new, colored items before

drying for the first time and do not dry with light-colored items. These fabrics can "bleed" (also on plastic parts of the dryer). Colored lint could adhere to light-colored items.

–

Wool and wool blends tend to felt and shrink. Dry these items in the "Woolens" program.

Use

1. Sort the laundry

Sort the laundry by desired dryness,

fabric, size and similar residual moisture after spinning to assure even drying results.

Do not dry items that may melt or

ignite in the dryer such as plastics or rubber. They could melt and damage the laundry.

Check hems and seams, so that no

filling can fall out.

Duvet covers and pillowcases should

be fastened in order to prevent small items from rolling inside of them.

^ Close zippers, hooks and eyelets.

^ Tie up fabric belts and apron ties.

^ Remove or sew up loose bra

under-wires.

2. Load the laundry

Open the door.

2.1. Without the laundry basket

Load the laundry loosely into the drum.

Do not overload the drum. Overloading strains the fabrics and leads to poor drying results.
