Electrical connection
78
The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable with moulded plug ready for con-
nection to a switched socket.
The electrical socket must be
easily accessible after the dish-
washer has been installed. Do not
connect the dishwasher to the mains
electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guaran-
tee the required safety of the appli-
ance (e.g. danger of overheating).
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must be replaced with a Miele cable of
the same type (available from Miele) by
a Miele approved service technician or
suitably qualified person only.
Do not connect the appliance to an in-
verter such as those used with an
autonomous energy source e.g.
solar
power
. When switched on, peak loads
in the system can cause the safety
switch-off mechanism to be triggered.
This can damage the electronic unit.
The appliance must not be used with
so-called
energy-saving devices
either. These reduce the amount of en-
ergy supplied to the appliance, causing
it to overheat.
Before connecting the appliance,
check that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage, frequency
and fuse rating) matches the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
The data plate is located on the right-
hand side of the door.
The electrical installation must
be in compliance with current local
and national safety regulations. In
the U.K. it must comply with BS
7671.
