Electrical Connection - Miele K 1801 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

Electrical connection

All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations.
The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable and moulded plug ready for
connection to an AC single phase
220 – 240 V 50 Hz supply.
The fuse rating must be at least 10 A.
Connection must only be made via a
suitable switched socket. The electrical
system must comply with VDE 0100.
The accessibility of the plug must
always be ensured in order to be able
to quickly separate the appliance from
the mains.
If the mains socket is not accessible
after the appliance has been built in, a
separator for each terminal must be
present. There must be an all-pole
contact gap of 3 mm in the switch
(including switch, fuses and relays
according to EN 60335).
The plug and mains connection cable
must not come into contact with the
back of the appliance as vibrations can
cause damage to these components.
This, in turn, could result in a short
circuit.
Nor should other appliances be
plugged into a socket located directly
behind this appliance.
44
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the appliance to an
inverter such as those used with an
autonomous energy source e.g. Solar
power. When switched on, peak loads
in the system can cause the safety
switch off mechanism to be triggered.
This can damage the electronic unit.
The machine must not be used with
so-called energy-saving devices
either. These reduce the amount of
energy supplied to the machine,
causing it to overheat.
If the mains connection cable needs to
be replaced, this must only be carried
out by a qualified electrician.
