,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.

~Check the packaging, the washer

and accessories for any signs of

damage. Do not use a damaged

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 into

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 main 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 Ser-

vice Dept. with specific requirements.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Do not install or use a washer with

visible damage.

~Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in

these operating instructions.

~Ensure power is not supplied to the

appliance while maintenance or repair

work is being performed. The machine

is only completely isolated from the

electrical supply when it is turned off at

the main switch and the plug is pulled,

or by tripping the circuit breaker.

~Connect the washer, to the water

mains. Do not use old hoses. Inspect

the intake hoses regularly for damage.

They should be replaced as needed to

prevent water damage.

~Faulty components must only be

replaced with genuine Miele spare

parts.

~If the power cord is damaged it

must only be replaced by a Miele Ser-

vice technician with a genuine Miele

power cord.

~Under certain conditions, hydrogen

gas may be produced in a hot water

system that has not been used for 2

weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has

not been used for such a period, turn

on all hot water faucets and let the

water flow from each for several

minutes before using the washing

machine. This will release any built-up

hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an

open flame during this time, the gas is

flammable.

~Remove the door before the

appliance is removed for service or

discarded.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use

~Do not allow children to play on or in

the appliance. Close supervision is

necessary when the appliance is used

near children.

~Make sure that no unattended

children can access the machine.

There is a potential danger that children

can be trapped in the drum. This may

cause major injuries or the death of the

child.

~The drum door glass will be hot

when washing at very high

temperatures.

Do not touch the glass. Danger of

burns! Keep children away from the

washer when in use.

~Only use the washing machine to

wash items which are specified by the

manufacturer to be machine washable

on the fabric care label. Any other

applications may be dangerous. The

manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for damage caused by

improper use of the appliance.

~Do not wash articles that have been

previously cleaned, washed, soaked or

spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents or other flammable

substances. These articles give off

vapors that could ignite or explode. Do

not add these items to the wash load.

~Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, or other flammable or

explosive substances to the wash

water. These substances give off

vapors which could ignite or explode.

~Do not use cleaning solvents on or

near the machine or the controls.

Contact with cleaning solvents will

damage the surface.

~Do not reach into the appliance if

the drum is moving.

~Do not tamper

with the controls.

times they are washed. They should

be washed separately several times

before being included in a mixed

load.

–Remove any lead weights or strips

from curtains before washing.

–Loose under-wires should be

removed or sewn in place before

washing.

–Woolens and knitted garments

should be turned inside out.

– Close zippers and hooks and eyes

before washing.

– Comforter covers and pillowcases

should be fastened in order to

prevent small items from getting

trapped inside of them.

Do not machine wash items if it is not

recommended on the fabric care label.
