Electrical connection
The tumble dryer is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a suitable earthed
socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the tumble dryer has been in-
stalled. If the socket is not easily ac-
cessible, ensure that a suitable means
of disconnection is provided on the in-
stallation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the tumble dryer to a
multi-socket adapter or to an exten-
sion lead can overload the mains
connection cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension cable or multi-socket ad-
apter.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK).
For safety reasons, we recommend us-
ing a type A residual current device
(RCD) in the relevant electrical installa-
tion for connecting the tumble dryer.
If the mains connection cable is dam-
aged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains connection cable of the
same type (available from the Miele
Customer Service Department). For
safety reasons, such replacement may
only be carried out by a qualified spe-
cialist or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
These operating instructions and the
data plate indicate the nominal power
consumption and the appropriate fuse
rating. Compare this information with
the data of the on-site electrical con-
nection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to a
stand-alone inverter, such as those
used with an autonomous power sup-
ply, e.g. solar power. When the tumble
dryer is switched on, power surges
could result in auto switch off. This
could damage the electronic module.
