Miele PWM 912 SD Installations Plan page 23


This washing machine must be connected to an electrical mains
supply that complies with local and national regulations. Please also
observe your insurance and energy supplier's regulations as well as
any health and safety at work regulations.

The required voltage, connected load and fusing rating can be
found on the data plate on the washing machine. Before connecting
the machine to the power supply, please ensure that the mains sup-
ply voltage complies with the values given on the data plate.
Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the
data plate can lead to functional faults and damage the washing
machine!
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 Service engineer or by an authorised Service Dealer. The wiring
instructions given on the wiring diagram must be followed.
Tip: We recommend connection to the power supply via a suitably
rated plug and socket which must be easily accessible for servicing
and maintenance work after the machine has been installed. An elec-
trical safety test must be carried out after installation and after any
service work.
The machine can either be hard-wired or connected using a plug-
and-socket connection in accordance with IEC 60309-1. For a hard-
wired connection an all-pole isolation device must be installed on
site.
For hard-wired machines connection should be made via a suitable
mains switch with all-pole isolation which, when in the off position,
ensures a 3 mm gap between all open contacts. These include cir-
cuit breakers, fuses and relays (IEC/EN 60947).
If the mains supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isolator
switch (including plug and socket) must be safeguarded against be-
ing switched on either unintentionally or without authorisation.

If it is necessary to install a residual current device (RCD) in ac-
cordance 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.

If necessary, equipotential bonding with good galvanic contact
must be guaranteed in compliance with all applicable local and na-
tional installation specifications.
Equipotential bonding must have an earth current rating > 10 mA
Accessories for equipotential bonding are not supplied and need to
be ordered separately.
