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.
2
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.
5
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.
6
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.

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.

Frequently asked questions
Repairs to electrical and gas appliances must only be carried out by a
,
qualified and trained person in accordance with local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous.
The following section will help you avoid placing a service call by identifying
issues you may encounter while operating the machine:
General problems
A drying program cannot be started.
Possible fault Solution
The "Start/Stop" button was not
pressed.
The circuit breaker has tripped or
the dryer is unplugged.
The door is not closed. Close the door properly.
The dryer turns off automatically.
To ensure proper performance, the dryer is equipped with a safety feature to
prevent it from operating when there is an insufficient electrical supply. The
machine will automatically shut itself down to avoid risks due to decreased
performance and airflow levels. Once a sufficient electrical supply is restored to
the machine it will automatically reactivate and can be used as normal.
Lint has built-up on laundry.
Lint is the result of friction caused
by items being worn and washed.
Machine drying causes minimal
strain of the laundry and has no
significant effect on the durability.
Dryers have no detrimental effects
on the lifetime of fabrics.
The items dried have static cling.
Add fabric softener to laundry when washing or use dryer sheets.
Make sure the dryer is on. Press the "Start/
Stop" button to begin the drying program.
Make sure the dryer is plugged in or reset
the circuit breaker.
