Drainage; Venting The Drainage System - Miele G 601 Installation Instructions Manual

Drainage

– The machine drainage system is
fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the machine via the drain
hose.
– The dishwasher is supplied with an
approx. 1.5 m long flexible drain hose
with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
– The drain hose can be extended
using a connection piece and an
extra drain hose, (up to max. 4
metres).
– A hose clip is supplied for
connecting the drain hose to the
on-site drainage outlet.
– The connection socket on the
dishwasher can be turned. The hose
can thus be laid to the right or left
without needing to loosen the hose
clip supplied.
– The drain system must not exceed 4
metres. The drain pump has a
maximum delivery head of 1 metre.
– The on-site water pipe connection for
the drain hose may be designed to fit
more than one diameter of hose. The
connection socket must be
shortened if it juts too far into the
drain hose. Otherwise the drain hose
can become blocked.
– The drain hose must not be
shortened.
– Ensure that the drain hose is laid so
that it is free from kinks.

Venting the drainage system

^ Open the dishwasher door fully.
If the site drain connection is situated
lower than the guide path for the
bottom basket rollers in the open door
the drainage system must be vented.
Otherwise a siphoning effect during a
programme can cause the machine to
empty itself of water.
To vent:
^ Cut off the top of the vent valve in the
wash cabinet.
