Hi does anyone know where i can get a wiring diagram for the Miele T5206? I live in the UK and want to convert my 25amp machine to 13amp so need a wiring diagram for the heater.
Thanks Chihuahua

Not sure whether this will be useful to you, but in my (limited) experience 'Professional' dish/glass washers designed for single/three phase working have two or three separate heating elements wired in parallel when used single phase. simply disconnect one/two of them to reduce the current demand. Heating times will increse hugely, though....

connecting a 25amp dryer to household supply?

Thanks Dave - am now wondering if I should sort out the wiring to run it at 25amp instead of conerting it - can anyone give me any advice re the size of the cable i would need to run it from a 32amp breaker(have a spare one)and any advice on which switch/spur or isolator to use to connect it to the supply
Thanks Chihuahua

32 amp supply

No problem. You should use 4 sq mm cable (or bigger) for a 32amp single circuit. Get yourself a double-pole isolating switch (as used for cookers/showers). Most of these switches are now 45amp, so more than enough, Immersion heater switches may only be 16amp, check the rating on the back... If you want the machine unpluggable, may I suggest a 32amp blue BS6363 plug and socket??
