Electrical Connection - Miele K 2601 V Operating And Installation Instructions

Electrical connection

The refrigeration appliance must only be
connected using the connection cable
supplied (AC 220–240 V 50/60 Hz
supply). A longer connection cable is
available to order from your Miele
Dealer.
The fuse rating must be at least 10 A.
This appliance must be connected to a
suitable switched socket. The electrical
installation must be in compliance with
local and national safety regulations
(e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany/BS 7671 in
the UK).
The socket must not be concealed
behind the refrigeration appliance and
must be easily accessible so that the
appliance can be quickly disconnected
from the electrical supply in case of an
emergency.
If the socket is no longer accessible
after installation, an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles. Suitable means of disconnection
include switches with an all-pole
contact gap of at least 3 mm. These
include circuit breakers, fuses and
contactors (EN 60335).
The plug and power cable of the
refrigeration appliance must not touch
the back of the refrigeration appliance
as they could be damaged by vibrations
from the appliance. This could result in
a short circuit.
Do not plug in other appliances behind
the refrigeration appliance.
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the refrigeration
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the refrigeration
appliance to a stand-alone inverter such
as those used with an autonomous
energy source, e.g. solar power.
When the refrigeration appliance is
switched on, power surges could result
in a safety switch-off. This could
damage the electronic module. The
refrigeration appliance must not be
used with so-called energy-saving
devices either. These reduce the
amount of energy supplied to the
appliance, causing it to overheat.
