Electrical connection

The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified
electrician who must ensure that all electrical work is carried out in
accordance with applicable electrical regulations and standards.

This washing machine must be connected to an electrical mains
supply that complies with local and national regulations. Please also
observe your insurance and energy supplier's regulations as well as
any workplace health and safety regulations.

The required voltage, rated load and fusing rating can be found on
the data plate on the washing machine. Before connecting the
machine to the electricity supply, please ensure that the mains supply
voltage complies with the values given on the data plate.
Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the
data plate can lead to functional faults and damage to the washing
machine.
If more than one voltage is quoted on the data plate, the washing
machine can be converted for connection to the voltages stated.

Conversion to a different voltage must only be carried out by a
Miele Professional Service technician or by an authorised service
technician. The wiring instructions given on the wiring diagram must
be followed.
The machine can either be hard-wired or connected using a plug-
and-socket. For a hard-wired connection, an all-pole isolation device
must be installed on site.
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
circuit breakers, fuses and relays.
If the mains supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isolator
switch (including plug and socket) must be safeguarded against
being switched on either unintentionally or without authorisation.
Useful tip: We recommend connection to the power supply via a
suitable 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.
