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 equipmentgrounding 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.
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 Mile 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.
Do not install or use a washer with
visible damage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the power cord is damaged it
must only be replaced by a Mile
Service technician with a genuine Mile
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.
Before the appliance is removed
for service or discarded, remove
the door.
Use
Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
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.
