If this appliance is fitted with a
non-rewireable plug, and the socket
outlets are not suitable for the plug
supplied, or if the existing plug needs
to be replaced by a new one, the old
plug will need to be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted.
The fuse carrier and the fuse should be
removed from the old plug and
disposed of. The plug cut from the
cable should then be disposed of and
on no account be inserted into any
socket elsewhere in the house (electric
shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be refitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover
is lost, the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement cover
is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is
embossed in words in the base of the
plug (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).
Replacement fuses should be ASTA
approved to BS 1362 and have the
correct rating. Replacement fuses and
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical supplier or Miele
Service Agent.
If the colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance do not
correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and
yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter E or by the earth symbol
z or coloured green or green and
yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured
black.
The wire which is coloured brown must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter L (GB / IRL) or A
(AUS / NZ) or coloured red.
The electrical safety of this appliance
can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the
appliance and an effective earthing
system, which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is
imperative that this basic safety
requirement is tested regularly and
where there is any doubt, the electrical
system of the house should be tested
by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage which is the direct or
indirect result of incorrect installation or
connection or for damage or injury,
such as an electric shock, caused by
the lack or inadequacy of an effective
earthing system.
