Connect the water supply hose (the
hose marked blue) to the cold water
valve.
Turn on the valve and check for leaks.
The water pressure must be within 14-
140 psi (0.1-1 MPa). If the water press-
ure in greater than 140 psi (1 MPa), a
pressure reducer must be installed. At
pressures below 14 psi (0.1 MPa), the
standard inlet valve of the machine
must be exchanged for a low pressure
version available from the Miele Parts
Dept.
The water supply hose is equipped
with a filter; please do not remove this
filter.
Connection to the drain sys-
tem
The 1.5 m (5 ft.) drain hose may be con-
nected as follows:
1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose
over the edge of the sink and secure
it firmly(e.g. by tieing the hose to the
water faucet).
2. Connection to a stand pipe: place the
drain hose into a 38 mm (1 1/2")
stand pipe and firmly secure it. (An
antisiphoning device is not re-
quired;there is one built into the ma-
chine.)
3. To a floor drain: if desired, the drain
hose may be extended to 4.5 m
(15 ft.) maximum.
The machine drains using a pump with
a maximum delivery head of 1 m (4 ft.).
Make sure there are no kinks in hose.
The machine is equipped with an air-
gap/anti-siphoning system so that no
minimum drain height is required.
