Electrical connection
,
All electrical work must be
carried out by a suitably qualified
and competent person in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations (BS 7671
in the UK).
The machine must only be operated
with the voltage, frequency and fuse
rating shown on the data plate supplied
with the machine. Please ensure these
match the site mains supply.
We recommend connecting the
machine to the power supply via an
IP44 plug and socket which must be
easily accessible for servicing and
maintenance work after the machine
has been installed.
For hard-wired machines, connection
should be made via a suitable mains
switch with all-pole isolation which
when in the off position ensures a 3 mm
gap between all open contacts.
For extra safety and protection we
recommend connecting the machine 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 machine is disconnected
from the electricity supply adequate
measures must be taken to ensure
that the machine cannot be
reconnected to the electricity supply
until all work has been carried out.
,
This machine can to be
converted to a different voltage.
Please observe the switching
instructions given on the wiring
diagram. Conversion may only be
carried out by a Miele authorised
service dealer or Miele technician.
If the machine has been converted,
the
heater rating
must also be
adapted.
,
The machine must be
permanently connected to the
electricity supply so that the door
can be opened. For this reason, it
must not be connected to devices
such as timers which would switch it
off automatically.
