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.
