Plumbing
Waterproof system
All Miele dishwashers have a safety valve located on the incoming water line and a sealed underside with a water sensor.
If a fault occurs, the water intake is stopped and the drain pump is activated. Water damage, if any, is minimized.
Providing the dishwasher was installed correctly by a Miele technician, the waterproof system will protect you from water damage throughout the lifetime of the machine.
Connection to the water supply
Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Do not drink water from the dishwasher!
–The dishwasher can heat its own water to the temperature required by the wash program. This allows for connection of the machine to either a hot (max. 140°F / 60°C) or cold water source.
For lowest energy consumption you may connect the dishwasher to a cold water source.
For fastest possible wash times, with slightly higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source.
–The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) long.
–The water inlet hose comes equipped with a 3/4" female hose thread connector. This can be directly connected to a water supply with 3/4" MHT (male hose thread ends).
If not connected directly to a water supply valve, an appropriate adapter (not required) is required.
