Electrical Connection - Miele WTD 160 Installation Manual

Installation

Electrical connection

The washer-dryer is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a 230V electricity
supply. The voltage, rated load and plug
rating are given on the data plate.
Please ensure these match the
household mains supply.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the washer-dryer has been
installed. If the switch is not accessible
after installation an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles.

Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the washer-dryer to a
multi-socket adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the
cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an
extension lead or multi-socket
adapter.
All electrical work must be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person, in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30 mA. Ensure power is
not supplied to the appliance until after
the installation has been completed.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket.
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from Miele) in order to avoid a
hazard. For safety reasons, such
11694001-01
replacement may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
technician or by Miele.
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.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation with
a self-sufficient or non-mains
synchronous energy supply system
(e.g. isolated networks, back-up
systems) is possible. A requirement for
the operation is that the energy supply
system complies with all current local
and national requirements that apply to
stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems".
The protective measures provided in
the domestic installation and in this
Miele product must also be assured in
their function and operation in isolated
operation or in non-mains synchronous
operation, or replaced with equivalent
measures in the installation.
The machine must not be used with so-
called energy-saving devices either.
These reduce the amount of energy
supplied to the machine, causing it to
overheat.
