Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a switched socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the machine has been installed. If
the switch is not accessible after
installation an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles.
Risk of fire from overheating!
Connecting the washing machine to
a multi-socket plug adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the
cable.
Do not use an extension lead or
multi-socket plug adapter.
All electrical work must be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person, in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30mA. Ensure power is
not supplied to the appliance until after
the installation has been completed.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket.
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from Miele) in order to avoid a
hazard. For safety reasons, such
replacement may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
technician or Miele.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the
appropriate fuse rating. Compare the
specifications on the data plate with
those of the mains electricity supply.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Do not connect the washing machine
solely to a stand-alone inverter such as
those used with an autonomous energy
source, e.g. solar power. When the
washing machine is switched on, power
surges could result in a safety switch-
off. This could damage the electronics.
The machine must not be used with so-
called energy-saving devices either.
These reduce the amount of energy
supplied to the machine, causing it to
overheat.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE EARTHED
