Connection to the water supply
Connecting the water inlet
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated mains water.
The quality of the water used must
correspond to the drinking water
specification of the country in which
the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing
machine to potable water.
The washing machine must be
connected to a mains water supply in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations.
The water connection pressure needs
to be between 100 kPa (1 bar) and
1000 kPa (10 bar). If the water
connection pressure exceeds 1000 kPa,
a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
A tap with a ¾ inch threaded union is
required for the connection. If this is not
available, only a qualified plumber may
connect the washing machine to the
mains water supply.
The screw thread is subject to water
connection pressure.
Check that the connection is
leakproof. Slowly turn on the tap.
Correct the position of the seal and
screw thread if necessary.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement. These are
tested to withstand pressures up to
7000 kPa.
A filter is located in the open end
of the inlet hose and another in the
intake point to protect the inlet valve.
The filters must remain in place, and
be replaced after cleaning.
Hose extension
Longer hoses 2.5 m or 4.0 m in length
are available from Miele as optional
accessories (depending on country).
