The required voltage, rated load and fusing rating can be found on
the data plate on the washing machine. Before connecting the
machine to the electricity supply, please ensure that the mains
supply voltage complies with the values given on the data plate.
 Damage caused by incorrect supply voltage.
Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the
data plate can lead to functional faults and damage to the washing
machine.
Only connect the washing machine to the supply voltage specified
on the data plate.
If more than one voltage is quoted on the data plate, the washing
machine can be converted for connection to the voltages stated.
Conversion to a different voltage must only be carried out by a
Miele Professional Service technician or by an authorised service
technician. When doing so, the rewiring instructions on the
supplied circuit diagram must be followed, and ensure the
connection data on the data label matches the mains electrical
supply.
The machine can either be hard-wired or connected using a plug-
and-socket. For a hard-wired connection, an all-pole isolation device
must be installed on site.
If the mains supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isolator
switch must be safeguarded against being switched on either
unintentionally or without authorisation.
Useful tip: We recommend connection to the power supply via a
suitable plug and socket which must be easily accessible for
servicing and maintenance work after the machine has been installed.
An electrical safety test must be carried out after installation and after
any service work.

If it is necessary to install a residual current device (RCD) in
accordance with local regulations, a residual current device type B
(sensitive to universal current) must be used.
An existing type A residual current device (RCD) must be exchanged
for a type B RCD.
The electrical components of this machine comply with AS/
NZS 60335-1, DIN EN 50571. See data plate for voltage data. If the
machine is hard wired, an all-pole isolator must be installed. Switches
with a contact opening of more than 3 mm are considered to be
disconnecting devices. These include, for example, circuit breakers,
fuses and contactors. The plug connector or isolator switch should
be easily accessible at all times.
