Electrical Connection - Miele WWH 860 Operating Instructions Manual

Installation

Electrical connection

The washing machine is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a switched socket.
The socket should be easily accessible
after the machine 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 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.
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 suitable 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.
If the mains connection cable is
damaged, it must only be replaced with
a specific mains connection cable of
the same type (available from Miele).
For safety reasons, such replacement
may only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent technician or
by a Miele authorised service
technician, in order to avoid a hazard.

The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the
appropriate fuse rating. Compare this
information with the data of the on-site
electrical connection.
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.
