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.

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
