,WARNING - To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock or injury to
persons when using your appliance
follow basic precautions, including
the following:
The gas dryer T9820 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!
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
Do not dry articles 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.
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 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.
Do not use fabric softeners or
products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
Do not use heat to dry articles
containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials, or items
containing hair spray, nail polish
remover or similar substances, wax or
chemicals from buffing.
Clean the lint filter before or after
each load.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Items with damaged fillings (e.g.
pillows or jackets) should not be dried
in the dryer. The filling can cause a fire.
Keep the area around the air intake
(toekick) 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.
Do not place items exposed to oils
in your dryer. Items contaminated
with oils may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause the laundry to
catch fire.
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.

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.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
In case of change of ownership, this
manual should stay with the dryer.

which may give off a slight odor the
first time the appliance is turned on.
The smell will dissipate after a short
time and does not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance defect.
