Electrical connection
The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electri-
cian who must ensure that all electrical work is carried out in ac-
cordance with applicable electrical regulations and standards (BS
7671 in the UK).
The electrical connection may only be made to an electrical system
provided in accordance with all appropriate local and national legisla-
tion and regulations. In addition, all regulations of the appropriate util-
ity supply companies and standards relating to safety, and all applic-
able valid regulations and technical standards must be complied with!
Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The required voltage, power consumption and fuse rating are
quoted on the data plate on the tumble dryer. Ensure that the sup-
ply voltage complies with the voltage quoted on the data plate be-
fore connecting the tumble dryer to the mains.
Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the
data plate can lead to functional faults and damage to the tumble
dryer.
If more than one voltage is quoted on the data plate, the tumble
dryer can be converted for connection to the voltages stated. Con-
version to a different voltage must only be carried out by a Miele Ser-
vice engineer or by an authorised Miele Service dealer. The wiring in-
formation given on the wiring diagram must be followed. Settings for
heater ratings in the machine must also be observed and adapted as
necessary.
This dryer can either be hard-wired or connected via a plug and
socket that complies with IEC 60309-1.
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. These include cir-
cuit breakers, fuses and relays (IEC/EN 60947).
If the mains supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isolator
switch (including plug and socket) must be safeguarded against be-
ing switched on either unintentionally or without authorisation.
Tip:
We recommend connection to the power supply via a suitable IP
44 plug and socket which must be easily accessible for servicing and
maintenance work after the machine has been installed. An electrical
safety test must be carried out after installation and after any service
work.
The machine must not be connected to devices such as timers
which would switch it off automatically.
