Installation and planning notes
Installation prerequisites
The appliance must be connected only to a system designed in
accordance with national legislation, regulations and directives, as
well as local codes and standards.
In addition, all regulations by utilities, accident prevention regulations,
insurance guidelines and recognized codes of practice valid at the
installation site must be adhered to.
General conditions of operation
Ambient temperature of the installation space: +35°F (2°C) to +95°
(35°C).
This appliance may not be operated in the same room with cleaning
machines using solvents containing perchloroethane or CFC. Spark
formation at the motor may transform escaping solvent vapours into
hydrochloric acid causing subsequent damage.
Electrical connection
Depending on the design, the appliance may be fitted with a
connection cable with or without a plug.
The appliance must be connected only to an electric supply designed
in accordance with national and local regulations. The installation
must be performed by a qualified electrician.
The appliance data plate indicates the nominal power consumption
and the appropriate fuse capacity. Compare the specifications on the
data plate with those of the electrical power supply.
The appliance can be connected either via permanent connections or
via plug connections. However, we recommend connecting the
appliance via a plug connection so that an electrical safety check can
be carried out, e.g. during repair or maintenance.
If a permanent connection is intended, an all-pole disconnection
device must be provided at the installation side. Disconnect devices
may be switches with a contact gap of more than 3 mm, such as
MCBs, fuses and guards.
The plug-in connection or disconnect device must be accessible at all
times. It must be possible to lock the disconnect device or to monitor
the disconnect point when the appliance is disconnected from the
power supply.
Only a certified or approved electrician may perform the initial
installation of the connection, change the system or inspect the
ground conductor, including a determination of the correct protection,
because they are familiar with the relevant regulations and the
particular requirements by the electrical utility.
Comply with the switch-over instructions on the wiring diagram
when switching the appliance to a different voltage. Only
authorized distributors or Miele customer service representatives
may convert the appliance. In this event, it is also necessary to
adjust the heat output.
Devices for an automatic shut-down of the appliance (such as timers)
must not be installed.
The conductor cross-section information in the technical data refers
only to the required connecting cable. Refer to the applicable national
and local regulations for calculating the other dimensions.
Exhaust air connection
The moist and warm exhaust air must be redirected to the outside or a
suitable ventilation system by the shortest route possible.
Depending on the duct installation, more or less moist exhaust air may
precipitate as condensate in the pipes. For this reason, it is
recommended to install the pipes with a slope toward the outlet.
For rising ducts, a means of drainage must be installed at the lowest
point: use either water collecting trays or a floor drain installed at an
appropriate location.
Condensation must not return into the appliances!
You may discharge the exhaust air through an external wall. However,
please ensure that this option does not cause hazards or
unacceptable nuisances for the environment.
10 145 530 / 01
The pipe of an exhaust air duct ending in the exterior must be
protected from weather effects by installing deflector canopies or a
90° elbow pointing downward.
Do not taper the duct cross-section or reduce with baffles. Do not
install screens or shutters in the exhaust air duct.
Any exhaust air build-up in the duct may result in reduced appliance
performance or a safety shut-down of the appliances.
The fault-free operation of the appliance can no longer be
guaranteed when the pressure in the user's exhaust air system
drops below the permissible value.
The cross-section must be enlarged when multiple appliances are
connected to a collecting pipe.
In this event, each appliance must be fitted with a backflow protection
(such as a check valve) to prevent a mutual interference of the
appliances through the exhaust air path. The user must provide the
necessary fittings.
If the exhaust air of multiple appliances is discharged into a
collective duct, you must install a backflow protection for each
individual appliance.
We recommend a detailed duct calculation by a plumber or specialist
consultant for complex duct systems with multiple elbows, additional
fittings, or installations where multiple appliances are connected to a
single collective duct.
Inlet air
The inlet air is drawn directly from the room into the appliance.
You must ensure sufficient ventilation of the room during operation.
Depending on the appliance version, the discharged exhaust air
volume may need to be drawn into the room to prevent low pressure.
The ventilation openings must not be lockable or you must otherwise
ensure that sufficient air is drawn into the room during appliance
operation.
Equipotential bonding
Depending on the local and national installation regulations, you may
have to create equipotential bonding with proper contact connection.
The connection material for a necessary equipotential bonding can be
ordered as an assembly kit from Miele Customer Service or supplied
by the user.
Peak load/energy management
Using an optional kit, you may connect the appliance to a peak load or
energy management system.
The appliance provides 3 signal contacts on a terminal strip. which is
identified with a, b, c, and d.
a - Output signal: machine operation starts
b - Output signal: machine requests heating
c - Input signal peak load: machine switches heater
d – Neutral conductor
When the peak load function is activated, the heating is switched off
and the program is stopped. The display shows a corresponding
message.
Upon the end of the peak load function, the program automatically
resumes.
Payment device
The washing machine can be fitted with a single payment device as
an optional accessory. Only an authorized Miele dealer or Miele
