Plumbing connection

The washing machine can be con- nected to a potable water supply. A non-return valve is not required unless required by building code.

The washing machine has 1/2" pressure hoses with 3/4" female hose thread con- nections.

If there is no water hookup contact a plumber to install a connection.

Make sure that the sealing ring is seated properly on the hose connector.

Only replace the hose with a genuine Miele hose or with a hose able to with- stand up to 145 psi (10 bar) pressure.

The water valve connector must also be able to withstand 145 psi (10 bar).

To protect the inlet valve, the two fil- ters - one at the pressure hose / valve connection and one at the inlet connection to the solenoid valve - must be in place during use.
