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.
Connection to the water supply
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 or cold water source. For lowest energy consumption 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. All programs use hot water in the rinse cycles.
–The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) long.
–A 5 ft. (1.5m) drain extension is available from Miele.
–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).
–Water pressure: Must be between 4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).
To prevent damage to the dishwasher, it must only be connected to a fully vented drainage system.
Do not cut the intake hose. It contains electrical wiring. If the hose is cut, the dishwasher will not work. There will be a water leak and you could be injured. If the hose is too long, coil it neatly and place it behind the machine.
