Room with a shower (Shower tray and glass enclosure) has had washer and dryer for years.
Its quite a big space and the appliances are well out of the zones by about 2m.
RCD protected on fused spurs.
The owners have bought new appliances which were delivered, but the delivery /installation people refused to install (They would not even put them in the same room, still in the packaging, as its illegal!)
The equipment is Miele. I know you can put equipment in this area if its RCD protected, out side zone two, on a fused spur, and here is the thing, suitable for the area according to the manufacturer.
I phoned Miele to ask it they are happy for their equipment to be in this environment, the customer service person said we don't advise to install in shower rooms. no make or model was mentioned, just a blanket no.
I asked if this was the advice they give for all of Europe, because I know its very common to have appliances in bathroom abroad. I got the same answer We do not advise it.
Is this just a case over covering their backs?
I have read the installation manual and not mention is made of which zones it can be installed.
This will be a real issue for the customer, if the appliances can not be installed where they are.
What do you think ?
Thanks
