IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

,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 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.

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 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.

4

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.

Do not tamper with the controls.

Using the washer

^ Empty all pockets.

,Foreign objects left in pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to clothes and the machine.

Pretreat stains

^Tough stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea, etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars and cuffs) should be pretreated with a stain remover or a paste made from powder detergent and warm water. Dab stains with a damp light colored cloth. Do not rub!

,Do not use chemical solvents in the machine.

^Only wash items that are labeled machine washable by the manufacturer. Most garments have a fabric care label in the collar or side seam.

^Sort the laundry by care label and color.

General tips

Dark fabrics often bleed the first few times they are washed. They should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load.

Curtains: Remove any lead weights or strips before washing.

Loose bra underwires should be removed or sewn in place before washing.

Woolens, knitted garments, jeans, pants and sweat shirts should be turned inside out.

Close zippers, hooks and eyelets before washing.

Comforter covers and pillowcases should be fastened to prevent small items from rolling inside of them.

Do not wash items with the h symbol on the fabric care label.

Using the washer

2. Turn on the washer

^Press the I-On / 0-Off button. The washer is turned on and the program indicators light.

3. Load the laundry

^Press the "Door" button to open the drum door.

^Load the laundry loosely into the drum. For best results, wash mixed loads of small and large items. This will improve washing effectiveness and help distribute the load evenly.

Water consumption and energy usage are determined by the size of the load.

The washer automatically adjusts the amount of water to conserve water and energy when washing smaller loads. The time remaining will automatically be adjusted to reflect a shorter wash program.

To prevent damage to the door seal and clothing, make sure that there are no clothes caught between the drum door and the seal.

^ Close the drum door.
