All electrical work must be car-
ried out by a suitably qualified and
competent person in accordance
with current local and national safety
regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).
This appliance is supplied with a con-
nection cable and moulded plug (BS
1363) for connection to a 230 V mains
supply.
The appliance must only be operated
with the voltage, frequency and fuse
rating shown on the data plate supplied
with the appliance. Please ensure these
match the site mains supply.
We recommend connecting the appli-
ance to the power supply via an IP44
plug and socket which must be easily
accessible for servicing and mainten-
ance work after the appliance has been
installed.
Do not connect the appliance via an ex-
tension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the ap-
pliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
For extra safety and protection we re-
commend connecting the appliance by
a 30 mA residual current device (RCD).
An electrical safety test must be carried
out after installation and after any ser-
vice work.
The mains connection cable may only
be replaced by an original Miele spare
part.
If the appliance is disconnected
from the electricity supply adequate
measures must be taken to ensure
that the appliance cannot be recon-
nected to the electricity supply until
all work has been carried out.
The appliance must be perman-
ently connected to the electricity
supply to enable the programme to
complete and to enable the load to
cool down after drying. For this
reason it must not be connected to
devices such as timers which would
switch it off automatically.
