Electrical connection
142
All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations
(e.g. BS 7671 in the UK). Connection
should be made via a switched socket.
This will make it easier for service tech-
nicians should the appliance need to be
repaired. The electrical socket must be
easily accessible after installation.
Danger of injury.
Miele cannot be held liable for unau-
thorised installation, maintenance
and repair work as this can be dan-
gerous to users.
Miele cannot be held liable for dam-
age or injury caused by incorrect in-
stallation, maintenance or repair
work, or by an inadequate or faulty
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
If the plug is removed from the con-
nection cable or if the cable is sup-
plied without a plug, the appliance
must be connected to the electrical
supply by a suitably qualified electri-
cian.
If the switched socket is not access-
ible after installation, or if the appli-
ance is to be hard-wired, an addi-
tional means of disconnection must
be provided for all poles. When
switched off, there must be an all-
pole contact gap of at least 3 mm in
the switch (including switch, fuses
and relays). Connection data is
shown on the data plate. It must
match the mains electrical supply.
After installation ensure that all elec-
trical components are shielded and
cannot be accessed by users.

range of 30 mA.
