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 (BS
7671 in the UK).
This washing machine 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, connected load and fusing rating can be found

on the data plate on the washing machine. Before connecting the ma-
chine 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 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 authorised Service Partner. The wiring
instructions given on the wiring diagram must be followed.
Tip: We recommend connection to the power supply via a suitably
rated plug and socket which must be easily accessible for servicing
and maintenance work after the machine has been installed. An elec-
trical safety test must be carried out after installation and after any
service work.
The machine should be connected with a suitably rated plug and
socket in accordance with IEC 60309-1 or hard wired. For a hard
wired connection an all-pole isolation device must be installed.
For hard-wired machines connection should be made via a suitable
mains switch with all-pole isolation which, when in the off position,
ensures a 3 mm gap between all open contacts. These include circuit
breakers, fuses and relays (IEC/EN 60947).
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.
- For added safety, a residual current device must be connected up-
stream of the machine in accordance with the installation plan.
The installation must be carried out on site by the operator.
If it is necessary to install a residual current device (RCD) in ac-

cordance 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.
If local and national installation specifications require equipotential

bonding, good galvanic contact must be guaranteed. Equipotential
bonding must have an earth current rating > 10 mA.
