Plumbing
Connect the cold water supply hose (marked blue) to the cold water tap and the warm water supply hose (marked red) to the warm water tap.
Turn on taps and check for leakage. The water pressure must be within the
(14 psi), the standard inlet valve of the machine must be exchanged for a low pressure version by an authorized Miele Service Technician.
The water supply hoses are equipped with a strainer filter; please do not remove this filter.
Special note
If the machine is not to be connected to a hot water supply, it is essential that the hot water inlet hose is also connected to the cold water supply, using a Y connector. Otherwise cor- rect functioning of the machine could be impeded.
It is not allowed to connect the ma- chine to a hot water supply only, for functional and safety reasons.
Connection to the drainage system
The 1.5 m hooked drain hose may be connected as follows:
1.Directly into a sink: hook the hose se- curely over the edge and secure, e.g. by tying the hose to the water tap.
2.Connection to a drain pipe: fit drain hose into a 38 mm ( 1 1/2") pipe and secure firmly. (An antisiphoning de- vice is not required.)
3.Drainage into floor gully: if required, the drain hose may be extended to 5 m (15 ft.) maximum.
The machine drains via a pump with a maximum delivery head of 1.2 m (4 ft.). The hose must not be kinked as this restricts drainage.
