Electrical Connection For The Uk - Miele S 556 Operating Instructions Manual

All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with na-
tional and local safety regulations.
The voltage, rated load and fuse rating
are given on the data plate located un-
derneath the vacuum cleaner. Please
ensure that these match the household
mains supply.
The appliance is supplied with a cable
and moulded plug ready for connection
to a 230-240 V/50 Hz a.c. single phase
supply. The fuse rating is 13 A.
If the plug fitted is not suitable it must
be replaced by one that is.
Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363
If this machine or appliance is fitted
with a non-rewireable plug, the follow-
ing information applies: if the socket
outlets are not suitable for the plug sup-
plied with this product, it must be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted. The fuse
carrier and fuse should be removed
from the old plug and disposed of. The
plug cut from the flexible cord 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 re-fitted 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 em-
bossed in words on the base of the
plug, (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).

covers may be purchased from your lo-
cal electrical supplier, electricity show-
room or Miele service agent.
Important
The wires in the mains lead of this ap-
pliance are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live
As the colours of the wires may not cor-
respond with the markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows: The wire coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal marked with
the letter "N" or coloured black. The
wire coloured brown must be con-
nected to the terminal marked with the
letter "L" or coloured red. Neither core is
to be connected to the earth terminal of
a three-pin plug.
