After aligning the machine tighten the lock nuts by turning them in a
counterclockwise direction with a wrench. This will prevent the feet
from moving.
Electrical connection
The electrical connection must only be carried out by a qualified
electrician who must ensure that all electrical work is carried out in
accordance with applicable electrical regulations and standards.
The washing machine must be connected to an electrical 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 consumption and specifications for ex-
ternal fusing are quoted on the data plate on the washing machine.
Ensure that the supply voltage complies with the voltage quoted on
the data plate before connecting the washing machine to the power
supply.
Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the
data plate can lead to functional faults and damage the washing
machine.
If more than one voltage is quoted on the data plate, the washing
machine can be converted for connection to the voltages stated.
Conversion to a different voltage must only be carried out by a
Miele Service engineer or by an authorized Service Dealer. The wiring
instructions given on the wiring diagram must be followed.
The washing machine can either be hard-wired or connected via a
plug and socket that complies with national codes and regulations. For
a hard-wired connection an all-pole isolation device must be installed
on site.
For hard-wired machines connection should be made via a suitable
switch with all-pole isolation which, when in the off position, ensures
a 1/8" (3 mm) gap between all open contacts. These include circuit
breakers, fuses and relays.
If the power supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isolator
switch (including plug and socket) must be safeguarded against being
switched on either unintentionally or without authorization.
