Plumbing

The washing machine can be connected to a portable water supply. A non-return valve is not needed unless required by building code.

The washing machine has ½" (13 mm) pressure hoses with 3/4" (19 mm) female hose thread connections. 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.

Replace the hose only with a genuine Miele hose, or with a hose able to withstand up to 145 psi (10 bar) pressure. The water valve connector must also be able to withstand 145 psi (10 bar).

,The bolted connection is under water pressure. Open the water supply slowly to check for leaks. Adjust the rubber seal and the bolted connection if necessary.

To protect the inlet valve, the two filters (one at the pressure hose / valve connection and one at the inlet connection to the solenoid valve) must not be removed.

Hose extension (optional accessory)

Hose extensions with a length of

8’ 2 7/16" to 13’ 1 ½" (2.5 to 4 m) are available from your Miele dealer or
