Electrical connection

Verify that the voltage, load and cir-
cuit rating information found on the
data plate match the household elec-
trical supply. This data must match
to prevent damage to the steam iron-
ing system. If in doubt, consult a li-
censed electrician.
All electrical work should be per-
formed by a qualified electrician in
strict accordance with national and
local safety regulations. Installation,
repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
You will find the necessary connection
data on the data plate, which is located
in the tower behind the water container.
The socket should be next to the appli-
ance and easily accessible.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
If the power cord is defective, it must
only be replaced by a qualified electri-
cian.
Do not use a power bar or an exten-
sion cord to connect the steam iron-
ing system to the power supply.
Extension cords or power bars do
not guarantee the required safety of
the appliance (e.g. danger of over-
heating).
Do not connect the steam ironing
system to an off-grid inverter. These
devices are used for autonomous
power supply, e.g. a solar power
system.
Power surges could trigger a safety
shutdown. This could damage the
electronic system.
Do not use the appliance with what
is referred to as energy saving de-
vices.
These reduce the energy supply to
the appliance, which could generate
excessive heat.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE GROUNDED!
If there is any question concerning
the electrical connection of this ap-
pliance to your power supply, please
consult a licensed electrician or con-
tact Miele’s Technical Service De-
partment.
