No, unlike their residential offerings the Miele's "Little Giants" don't have a quick connect contraption per se. Both washer and dryer require their own circuit or on one that can handle the not unsubstantial power draw.
Since washer only draws large amounts of power when heating water (hence it doing so faster than Miele's domestic offerings which leads to faster cycles), once that portion of wash is done power use coasts back down to "normal". The dryer OTOH is a whole other ball of wax. If this is a Miele PW6065 with matching dryer have the following: Washer wants a 208/240V, 60HZ, 30A, 2 phase electrical connection with a NEMA L6-30 plug, or can be hard wired. This being said the PW could be wired in a range depending upon power supply where located: 2AC 208-240V 60Hz, 3AC 230V 60Hz, 2N AC 400V 50Hz conv. 2AC 230V 50Hz 16A, Washing Machine 440V 60Hz. Miele normally wouldn't or didn't tell end consumers about wiring washer other than to seek out/deal with a professional electrician who would be doing the install. If Miele is sending a tech to do the installation, then you're good to go should think. He will be able to (or should) do the proper wiring, then program washer for proper matching setting. Dryer OTOH (and not sure if this applies to your model) has a NEMA L6-30 plug but wants an electrical connection to a 2 AC 208V 60Hz 2x30A circuit. For dryer Miele recommends installing a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA. IIRC unlike the washer the Little Giant dryer must have 208v, not 208v-240v, but just that, 208v. Was able to find this online: www.arcat.com/sdspecs/htm... |

Thanks Launderess! As always, I appreciate your wisdom and insight. So much for instant gratification. I will call the electrician today! |

Yes you cannot run a 208 machine on 240 V without serious damage to the heating element.
It’s ridiculous that they don’t make them for 240 V some commercial locations do have 240 V instead of 208. I would assume that the new washers don’t have brushes any longer that’s an incredibly crude way to make a washing machine motor and if you found out not durable if the brushes had to be replaced in just six years. |
