This washer-dryer stack 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, power rating and fuse rating can be found on
the data plate on the washer-dryer stack. Before connecting the
washer-dryer stack to the power supply, please ensure that the mains
supply 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 to the washer-
dryer stack.
If more than one voltage is quoted on the data plate, the washer-
dryer stack can be converted for connection to the voltages stated
by the Miele Customer Service Department.
Conversion to a different voltage must only be carried out by the
Miele Customer Service Department or by an authorised dealer. The
wiring instructions given on the wiring diagram must be followed.
Depending on the models, the machines are delivered with a mains
connection cable with/without a plug. References to cable cross-sec-
tions in the technical data refer only to the required mains connection
cable. Please consult relevant local and national regulations when cal-
culating any other wire gauges.
Tip: It is recommended to connect the washer-dryer stack to the
power supply via a plug and socket so that it is easier to conduct elec-
trical safety checks (e.g. during maintenance).
It is advisable to connect the product via a suitably rated plug and
socket in accordance with IEC-60309, otherwise for a hardwired con-
nection an all pole means of isolation must be installed at the site.
An isolation device is a switch which ensures a contact opening of
more than 3 mm. These include circuit breakers, fuses and contact-
ors (IEC/EN 60947).
The wall socket or isolator must remain accessible at all times once
the machines have been installed. However, it is always recommen-
ded to make electrical connections via a suitable plug and socket so
that electrical safety checks, e.g. during repair or maintenance work,
can be carried out easily.
If the mains supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isolator
switch (including plug and socket) must be safeguarded against being
switched on either unintentionally or without authorisation.
If it is necessary to install a residual current device (RCD) in accord-
ance 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.
