Installation
Electrical connection
This description applies to washing
machines both with and without a
mains plug.
The following applies to washing
machines with a mains plug:
– The washing machine is ready to be
connected.
– The electrical socket must be easily
accessible after installation so that
the machine can be disconnected
from the electricity supply if
necessary.
Damage caused by incorrect
supply voltage.
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.
The washing machine may only be
connected to a permanent electrical
system that conforms to the national
and local codes and regulations.
Do not connect the machine to an
extension lead or multi-socket adapter
as they do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
If the appliance is hard wired, a dual
circuit breaker must be provided on
site. When switched off, there must be
an all-pole contact gap of at least 3 mm
in the isolator switch (including circuit
breakers, fuses, and relays according to
66
AS/NZS 3000). This connection must
be carried out by a qualified and
competent electrician.
The plug connector or isolator switch
should be easily accessible at all times.
Risk of electric shock!
If the washing machine is
disconnected from the power supply,
protective measures must be taken
to ensure that the point of
disconnection cannot accidentally be
switched on again.
Make sure the isolator is lockable or
the point of disconnection is
monitored at all times.
New connections, modifications to the
system, or servicing of the protective
earthing conductor, including
determining the correct fuse rating,
must be carried out by a qualified and
competent electrician, as they are
familiar with the pertinent regulations
and the specific requirements of the
electric utility company.
If converting the washing machine to
an alternative voltage, ensure that
the connection data on the data
plate (voltage, frequency and fuse
rating) match the mains electrical
supply. Observe the instructions in
the wiring diagram. Conversion may
only be performed by Miele or a
Miele authorised service technician.
