WARNING - To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock or injury to
persons while using your appliance
follow basic safety precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of a 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.
WARNING - Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor may result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with 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.
Do not install or use a washer with
visible damage.
Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
Do not install your washing
machine where temperatures
below freezing may occur. Frozen
hoses may burst under pressure. The
reliability of the electronic control unit
may be impaired at temperatures below
freezing.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and
frequency) match the mains electrical
supply. If in doubt contact an
electrician.
Do not use an extension cord to
connect this appliance to the
power supply. Extension cords do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as recreational
vehicles or aircraft. However, under
certain conditions it may be possible for
an installation in these applications.
Please contact the Miele Technical
Service Dept. with specific
requirements.
Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically
recommended in these operating
instructions.
