Electrical connection
The tumble dryer is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the tumble dryer has been
installed. If the switch is not accessible
after installation an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the tumble dryer 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.
All electrical work must be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person, in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30 mA. Ensure power is
not supplied to the appliance until after
the installation has been completed.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket.
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from Miele) in order to avoid a
hazard. For safety reasons, such
replacement may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
technician or Miele.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to a
stand-alone inverter such as those used
with an autonomous energy source, e.g.
solar power. When the tumble dryer is
switched on, power surges could result
in a safety switch-off. This could
damage the electronics.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the
appropriate fuse rating. Compare the
specifications on the data plate with
those of the mains electricity supply.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
