The Miele water protectionsystem
The Miele water protection system
protects the washing machine from
water damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1)the inlet hose
2)the electronic unit and the washing
machine housing
3)the drain hose
1)Inlet hose
The inlet hose can withstand pressure
of more than 7,000 kPa.
2)Electronic unit and washing
machine housing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the appliance. A
float switches off the safety valves,
preventing any more water flowing
into the machine and water in the
suds container is pumped away.
Overflow protection
This prevents the washing machine
taking in too much water. If the water
level exceeds a certain level, the
drain pump switches in and pumps
the excess water away.
3)Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being
emptied completely.
