Electrical Connection - Miele F 2671 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation

Electrical connection

The refrigeration appliance must only be
connected using the connection cable
supplied (AC 220–240 V 50/60 Hz sup-
ply). A longer connection cable is avail-
able to order from the Miele Customer
Service Department.
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
local and national safety regulations
(e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany/BS 7671 in
the UK).
The socket must not be concealed be-
hind the refrigeration 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 con-
tact gap of at least 3 mm. These in-
clude circuit breakers, fuses and con-
tactors (EN 60335).

The plug and power cable of the refri-
geration appliance must not touch the
back of the refrigeration appliance as
they could be damaged by vibrations
from the appliance. This could result in
a short circuit.
Do not plug in other appliances behind
the refrigeration 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 refrigeration
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the refrigeration appli-
ance to a stand-alone inverter such as
those used with an autonomous energy
source, e.g. solar power.
When the refrigeration appliance is
switched on, power surges could result
in a safety switch-off. This could dam-
age the electronic module. The refriger-
ation appliance must not be used with
so-called energy-saving devices
either. These reduce the amount of en-
ergy supplied to the appliance, causing
it to overheat.
