Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose which is pressure tested to 14,000 kPa should you ever need a replacement or extension.
In order to protect the water inlet valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet valve connection must not be removed.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose is available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department as an optional extra.
This hose is tested to withstand pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can be used as a flexible extension to the water supply.
