Installation and connection
The Miele water protection system
The Miele water protection system protects the washer from water damage.
The system consists of three main components:
1)the inlet hose
2)the washer electronics and housing
3)the drain hose
1) The inlet hose
–Hose burst protection
The inlet hose can withstand pressure of more than 7000 kPa.
2) The electronics and housing
–Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a sump in the base of the washer. A float then switches off the inlet valves, preventing any additional water inflow, and any water in the suds container is pumped away.
–Overflow protection
This feature helps prevent the washer from taking in too much water. If the water exceeds a certain level, the drain pump starts and pumps away the water.
3)The drain hose
The drain hose is equipped with a ventilation system that prevents the washer from being emptied accidentally.
Connecting to the water supply
The washer is designed to comply with applicable CSA standards, for connection to a tap water line. It does not require a
The flow pressure must be between
100 kPa and 1000 kPa. If the pressure is above 1000 kPa, a pressure- reducing valve MUST be installed.
Two stopcocks with3/4" thread are required for connecting to the water supply. If these are not available, you will need to have a qualified plumber fit the washer to the water supply.
The screw fittings are under pressure from the water line. To check that the connections are watertight, slowly open the taps. Correct the placement of the washer and union as needed.
Maintenance and care
If the hose ever needs to be replaced, use only a genuine Miele hose - it is tested to withstand pressure of at least 7000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet valve, the two dirt filter screens (one in the open end of the inlet hose, the other in the inlet point in the washer) should not be removed.
Optional extension hose
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are available from your Miele dealer or Miele Customer Service.
