Electrical connection

The electrical connection must be established by a qualified electrician.

The electrical connection may only be made to an electrical system provided in accord-
ance with all appropriate local and national legislation, regulations and guidelines. Please
also observe the regulations set out by your insurance provider and energy supplier, acci-
dent prevention regulations, as well as recognised codes of practice.

Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer is only ensured if it has been connected
to the mains electricity supply.
The required supply voltage, power rating and fuse rating can be found on the data plate
on the tumble dryer. Ensure that the supply voltage complies with the voltage quoted on
the data plate before connecting the tumble dryer to the mains.
Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the data plate can damage
the tumble dryer if the voltage is too high.

If more than one voltage is specified on the data plate, the tumble dryer can be conver-
ted for connection to the relevant input voltage. This conversion must be performed by
Miele Service or by an authorised Service dealer. During the conversion, the wiring instruc-
tions given on the wiring diagram must be followed. The heater rating must also be adap-
ted on the machine.

The tumble dryer can either be hard-wired or connected using a plug-and-socket connec-
tion in accordance with IEC 60309-1. For a hard-wired connection, an all-pole isolation
device must be available at the installation site.
An isolation device is a switch which ensures a contact opening of more than 3 mm.
These include circuit breakers, fuses and relays (IEC/EN 60947).
