Installation
Drain pump (de-

model)
Special regula-
tions for Austria
96
In machines with drain pump, the suds are drained through a drain
pump with a delivery head of max. 1 m.
The drain hose must be installed free of kinks for the suds to drain
freely.
There are the following options for draining the machine:
- Drain hose connected to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber sleeve
(there is no need to use a siphon)
- Drain hose connected securely to a sink with a plastic nipple
- Connected securely to a floor drain (gully)
If required, the hose can be extended to a length of up to 5 m. The
corresponding accessories are available from the Miele Customer
Service Department or your Miele dealer.
For a drain height of more than 1 m, a replacement drain pump for a
delivery head of max. 1.8 m is available from the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Department or from your Miele dealer.
The washing machine can be connected directly to the drain pipe if
the sewer system meets the requirements of Austrian standard
ÖNORM 2501.
Electrical connection
The electrical connection must only be carried out by a suitably quali-
fied electrician in accordance with local and national regulations such
as BS 7671 in the UK.
It is recommended to connect the electrical supply with suitably rated
plugs and sockets so that both the washer and dryer are capable of
full isolation.
A residual current device (RCD) type B (sensitive to universal cur-
rent) must be used if one is being installed.
The electrical components of the machine comply with EN 60335-1,
EN 50571.
The voltage is stated on the data plate.
For hard-wired machines, an all-pole means of deactivation must be
provided on site. Switches with a minimum contact gap greater than
3 mm are suitable disconnectors. These include circuit breakers,
fuses and contactors (VDE 0660).
The plug connections or disconnectors must be accessible at all
times.
If the machine is disconnected from the power supply, the discon-
nectors must be lockable or the points of disconnection must be
monitored at all times.
