Drainage
Drain valve
The machine is drained with a motorized drain valve. A connection can be made to an
Drain pump
The wash water is drained using a pump with a 3 ft (1 m) delivery height. Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose. The elbow on the end of the drain hose can be turned or removed if necessary.
Possible connections:
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 11/2" (4 cm) stand pipe and secure it firmly.
3.To a floor drain: The machine is equipped with an air gap/
If necessary the drain hose can be extended up to 16' 5" (5 m). The hose extension can be purchased from your Miele dealer or Miele.
The drain pump must be replaced for drain heights over 3 ft (1 m). The maximum allowable drain height is 5 ft 11 in (1.8 m). A stronger pump for these heights can be purchased from your dealer or Miele.
