Electrical connection
This description applies to washing
machines both with and without a
power plug.
The following applies to washing
machines with a power plug:
– This washing machine is supplied
with a power cord and NEMA L6-30P
plug ready for connection.
– The plug must be easily accessible
after installation so that the machine
can be disconnected from the power
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 electrical
supply and make sure that they
match.
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 cord or multi-socket adapter
as they do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
If the machine 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, breakers, and relays
Installation and connection
according to IEC/EN 60947). This
connection process must be performed
by a qualified 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 ground
conductor, including determining the
correct fuse rating, must be carried out
by a qualified 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, observe the
instructions in the wiring diagram.
Conversion must be performed by
Miele Service or by an authorized
Miele dealer.
The washing machine must not be
connected to devices such as timers
which would switch it off
automatically.
