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 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.
~
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).
~
Do not install your washing machine
in rooms 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.
~
Do not install or store this appliance
where it will be exposed to the weather.
~
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.
