The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system pro‐
tects all parts of the washing machine
and surrounds from water damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
– the inlet hose
– the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
– the drain hose
Inlet hose
– Protection against bursting.
The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressure of at least 14,000 kPa.
– Protective sleeve.
The inlet hose has a braided metal
"second skin" to protect it from dam‐
age.
Installation and connection
Electronic unit and washing machine
housing
– Sump: Any leaking water is collected
in a sump in the base of the machine.
A float switches off the water inlet
valves, preventing any more water
from flowing into the machine and
water in the suds container is pum‐
ped away.
– Overflow protection: This prevents
the washing machine taking in too
much water. If the water level ex‐
ceeds a certain level, the drain pump
switches on and pumps the excess
water away in a controlled way.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a venti‐
lation system which prevents the wash‐
ing machine from being emptied com‐
pletely.
