Installation and planning notes
Installation requirements
Electrical connection should only be made to a power supply provided
in accordance with all appropriate local and national legislation and
regulations.
In addition, all regulations issued by the relevant utilities as well as
standards relating to occupational safety and all applicable valid
regulations and technical standards must be observed.
Transportation and site access
The washing machine must not be moved without the transit bars in
place. Keep the transit bars in a safe place. They must be re-fitted if
the machine is to be moved again (e.g. when moving house).
General operating conditions
Ambient temperature in installation room: +2 °C to +35 °C.
Depending on the nature of the installation site, sound emissions and
vibration may occur. Miele recommends consulting a specialist if
particular requirements apply at the installation site with respect to
sound emissions.
Electrical connection
Depending on the model, the machine is delivered with a supply lead
with/without a plug.
The appliance may only be connected to an electrical system that
conforms to the national and local codes and regulations. The
installation must be performed by a suitably qualified and competent
electrician.
The data plate indicates the nominal power consumption and the
appropriate fuse rating. Compare the specifications on the data plate
with those of the electrical power supply.
The appliance can either be hard-wired or connected using a plug-
and-socket connection. It is always recommended to connect the
machine via a plug and socket so that electrical safety checks, e.g.
during repair or service work, can be carried out easily.
If the appliance is hard wired, an all-pole disconnection must be
provided on site. The means of disconnection must be incorporated in
the fixed wiring in accordance the the wiring rules. When switched off,
there must be an all-pole contact gap of at least 3 mm in the isolator
switch (including circuit breakers, fuses, and relays according to
AS/NZS 3000).
The plug connector or isolator switch should be easily accessible at all
times. If the appliance is disconnected from the electricity supply, the
isolator must be lockable or the point of disconnection must be
monitored at all times.
New connections, modifications to the system or servicing of the
earthing conductor, including determining the correct fuse amperage,
must be carried out by a qualified electrician, as they are familiar with
the pertinent regulations and the specific requirements of the electric
utility company.
The appliance must not be connected to devices such as timers which
would switch it off automatically.
References to cable cross-sections in the technical data refer only to
the required mains cable. Please consult relevant local and national
regulations when calculating any other wire gauges.
Cold water connection
The washing machine must be connected to the mains water supply in
accordance with current local and national safety regulations and via a
non-return valve which is supplied separately with the machine.
Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains tap
with a threaded union. The tap should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
A suitable connection hose with a threaded union is provided with the
machine.
Longer hoses (2.5 or 4.0 m in length) are available from Miele as
separate parts (available depending on country).
Hot water connection
The same connection requirements as for cold water also apply to hot
water (max. 70 °C).
A suitable connection hose with a threaded union is provided with the
machine.
The hot water connection appliance also requires a cold water
connection.
In the event that hot water is not available on site, connection of the
second hose must be made to a cold water supply.
Alternatively, the hot water connection should be blocked using the
enclosed blind stopper and the machine controls set to cold water
intake.
The required amount of hot water should be added to the cold water
volume.
Drain valve (depending on model)
The washing machine is drained using a motorised drain valve. The
machine can be connected directly to the on-site drainage system
(without a siphon) or via a floor drain (gully with odour trap).
A vented drainage system is vital for unimpeded drainage. If on-site
venting is insufficient, a vent kit (Mat. no. 05 239 540) is available from
Miele.
If several machines are connected to a single drain pipe, this should
be sufficiently large to allow all machines to drain simultaneously.
Drain pump (depending on model)
The suds are drained through a drain pump with a 1 m delivery head.
For the water to drain freely, the hose must be free of kinks.
Drain hose connection options
1. Connected securely to a trapped waste pipe.
2. Connected over the rim of the laundry trough or into the sud-saver
pipe of the laundry trough.
3. Connected securely to a floor drain (gully).
