GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or break- down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric cur- rent. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-ground- ing conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly in- stalled and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel 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 out- let, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS

This installation should be done by an experienced and qualified technician, in accordance with local codes and regulations.

The washing machine is supplied with a 5’ 3" long, 4 wire cord, ending in a NEMA 14-30 P plug, ready for connec- tion to a 120/208-240 V, 15 A, 60 Hz, AC power supply.

The proper outlet can be purchased from an electrical supply dealer or from the Miele Technical Service Dept. Ask for a NEMA 14-30 R receptacle.

"EASY INSTALLATION KIT"

If you don’t have a dedicated 4 wire, 120/208-240 V, 15 Amp line for this ap- pliance, but you have a 240 V, 30 Amp line, you can use an optional "Easy In- stallation Kit", which will allow you to connect this appliance to that line.

This dual receptacle, wall mounted connection box can ONLY be used for connecting a Miele 1900 series clothes washer and 1500 series clothes dryer to an existing 30 Amp (NEMA 10-30R) outlet.
