,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.

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.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

In case of change of ownership, this

manual should stay with the dryer.
