Electrical Connection - Miele WWG 660 Operating Instructions Manual

Installation

Electrical connection

The washing machine is supplied with
an electrical connection cable with
moulded plug ready for connection to a
switched socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the washing machine has been
installed. If that is not possible, ensure
that a suitable means of disconnection
is provided on the installation side for
each pole.

Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the washing machine 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.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK).
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from the Miele Customer
Service Department). For safety
reasons, such replacement may only be
carried out by a qualified technician or
the Miele Customer Service
Department.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the
appropriate fuse rating. Compare the
specifications on the data plate with
those of the electricity supply and make
sure that they match.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.

Do not connect the washing machine to
a stand-alone inverter such as those
used with an autonomous energy
source, e.g. solar power. When the
washing machine is switched on, power
surges could result in a safety switch-
off. This could damage the electronic
module.
