Electrical Connection - Miele K 32223 i Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation

Electrical connection

The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable and moulded plug ready for
connection to an AC single-phase 220–
240 V 50 Hz supply.
The fuse rating must be at least 10 A.
This appliance must be connected to a
suitable switched socket. The electrical
installation must be in compliance with
current local and national safety
regulations, (e.g. VDE 0100 in
Germany / BS 7671 in the UK).
The socket must not be concealed
behind the appliance and must be
easily accessible so that the appliance
can be quickly disconnected from the
electrical supply in case of an
emergency.
If the socket is no longer accessible
after installation, an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles. Suitable means of disconnection
include switches with an all-pole
contact gap of at least 3 mm. These
include miniature circuit breakers, fuses
and contactors (EN 60335).
The mains plug and mains connection
cable must not come into contact with
the back of the appliance as vibrations
can cause damage to these
components. This could result in a short
circuit.
Do not plug in other appliances behind
this appliance.

Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the appliance to a
stand-alone inverter such as those used
with an autonomous energy source e.g.
solar power.
When the appliance is switched on,
power surges could result in a safety
switch-off. This could damage the
electronic module. The appliance must
not be used with so-called energy
saving devices either. These reduce
the amount of energy supplied to the
appliance, causing it to overheat.
If the mains cable needs to be replaced,
this must be performed by a qualified
electrician.
