Installation and connection
Electrical connection
This description applies to washing
machines both with and without a
power plug.
The following applies to washing ma-
chines with a power plug:
- The washing machine is ready to be
connected.
- The power plug must be easily ac-
cessible after installation so that the
machine can be disconnected from
the power supply if necessary.
Damage caused by incorrect
supply voltage.
The data tag indicates the nominal
power consumption and the appro-
priate fuse rating.
Compare the specifications on the
data tag with those of the domestic
electrical supply and make sure that
they match.
The washing machine may only be con-
nected to a permanent electrical system
that conforms to the national and local
codes and regulations.
Do not connect the machine to an ex-
tension lead 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 cir-
cuit 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 break-
ers, breakers, and relays according to
82
IEC/EN 60947). This connection
process must be performed by a quali-
fied electrician.
The plug connector or isolator switch
should be easily accessible at all times.
Risk of electric shock.
If the washing machine is discon-
nected from the power supply, pro-
tective measures should be taken to
ensure that the point of disconnec-
tion cannot accidentally be switched
on again.
Make sure the isolator is lockable or
the point of disconnection is moni-
tored at all times.
New connections, modifications to the
system, or servicing of the ground con-
ductor, including determining the cor-
rect fuse rating, must be carried out by
a qualified electrician, as they are famil-
iar 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 Technical Service or by an au-
thorized Miele dealer.
