Plumbing; Connecting The Water Supply - Miele PG 8593 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting the water supply

 Water from the chamber is not suitable for drinking!
- The machine must be connected to the water supply in strict
accordance with local regulations.
- The water used must at least comply with local and national codes
for drinking water quality. If the water supply has a high iron
content, there is a danger of corrosion occurring on wash items
made of stainless steel and on the machine itself. If the chloride
content of the water exceeds 100 mg/l, the risk of corrosion to
wash items made of stainless steel in the machine will be further
increased.
- In certain regions (e.g., mountainous areas), the water composition
may cause precipitates to form, requiring the use of softened water
in the steam condenser.
- The machine complies with the applicable standards for the
protection of drinking water.
- The machine is supplied as standard for connection to cold water
(blue coded hose) and hot water (red coded hose) with a max temp.
of 150°F (65°C). Connect the inlet hoses to the faucet valves.
- If there is no hot water supply available, the inlet hose coded red
must also be connected to the cold water supply.
- The intake hose without water protection device for the steam
condenser is connected to the cold water supply.
- The minimum flow pressure for the cold water is 14.5 psi
(100 kPa) gage pressure, for the hot water 5.8 psi (40 kPa) gage
pressure and for the DI water connection it is 4.4 psi (30 kPa) gage
pressure.
- Recommended flow pressure for cold and hot water connections
is ≥ 29 psi (200 kPa) gage pressure and for the DI water
connenction ≥ 29 psi (200 kPa) gage pressure, to avoid excessively
long water intake times.
- The maximum permissible static water pressure is 145 psi
(1,000 kPa).
- If water pressure is not within the specified range, please contact
Miele Service for advice.
- More information on DI water connection can be found at the end
of this section.
- Shut-off valves with a ¾ inch screw thread must be provided on
site for the connection. The valves must be easily accessible to
allow the water inlet to be turned off when not in use.
- The water inlet hoses are approximately 5' 7" (1.7 m) long pressure
hoses, DN 10, with ¾ inch screw thread. The filters in the screw
threads must not be removed.
