Miele W 1918 operating instructions Plumbing Connections, Drain connection, Please note

Plumbing Connections

Connect the cold water intake hose (blue mark) to the cold water valve and the hot water intake hose (red mark) to the hot water valve.

Turn on the valves and check for leaks. The water pressure must be within

15-145 psi (1-10 bar). If the water pres- sure is greater than 145 psi

(10 bar), a pressure reducer must be installed. If the water pressure is below 15 psi (1 bar), insufficient water may be available for a complete fill.

The water intake hoses are equipped with screen filters. Please do not re- move these filters.

Please note

If the machine is being connected to a cold water supply only, both the hot and cold water intake hoses should be attached to the cold water valve through the use of a Y adapter (avail- able at any hardware store). Both hoses must be connected to a water source, or the machine will not function prop- erly. Do not connect the washer to hot water only.

Drain connection

The 5 ft. (1.5 m) drain hose may be connected as follows:

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 1 1/2" (38 mm) stand pipe and firmly secure it.

3. To a floor drain: The machine is equipped with an airgap/anti-siphon- ing system so that no minimum drain height is required.

^The machine drains using a pump with a maximum delivery height of 4 ft. (1.2 m).

^Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose.

^If desired, the drain hose may be ex- tended to 15 ft. (4.5 m) maximum.
