Connection to the drain system

The 5 ft. drain hose may be connected as follows:

1.Directly into a sink: hook the hose over the edge of the sink and secure it firmly (e.g. by tying the hose to the water faucet.)

2.To a stand pipe: place the drain hose into a 1 1/2" stand pipe and firmly secure it.

3.To a floor drain: The machine is equipped with an airgap/anti-siphon- ing system so that no minimum drain height is required.

^The machine drains using a pump with a maximum delivery height of 3 ft.

^Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose.

^If desired, the drain hose may be ex- tended to run 16 ft maximum as long as the 3 ft height is not exceeded.

Hose extensions are available from your dealer or Miele’s Technical Ser- vice Department.
