Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with
an electrical connection cable with
moulded plug ready for connection to a
switched socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the washing machine has been
installed. If that is not possible, ensure
that a suitable means of disconnection
is provided on the installation side for
each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the washing machine to
a multi-socket plug adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the
cable.
Do not use an extension lead or
multi-socket plug adapter.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK). We recommend
the use of a suitable RCD
.
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from the Miele Customer
Service Department). For safety
reasons, such replacement may only be
carried out by a qualified technician or
the Miele Customer Service
Department.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the
appropriate fuse rating. Compare the
specifications on the data plate with
those of the electricity supply and make
sure that they match.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not
synchronised with the mains power
supply (e.g. island networks, back-up
systems) is possible. A prerequisite for
operation is that the power supply
system complies with the specifications
of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the
protective measures provided in the
domestic electrical installation and in
this Miele product must also be
maintained in isolated operation or in
operation that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply, or these
measures must be replaced by
equivalent measures in the installation.
As described, for example, in the
current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2
ISO 45001.
