Connection To The Water Supply - Miele WKH 120 WPS Operating Instructions Manual

Connection to the water sup‐
ply

The casing on the water inlet
hose contains electrical compo‐
nents. It must not be connected in
areas where there is the risk of water
or other liquids reaching it, e.g. bath‐
rooms.
The casing on the water inlet hose
must not get wet.
The protective sleeve of the hose
must not be damaged or kinked.
Installation and connection
The washing machine should be con‐
nected to a mains water supply in ac‐
cordance with current local and nation‐
al safety regulations. The German au‐
thorities do not require it to have a non-
return valve as the washing machine
has been designed to comply with DIN
regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 100
and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than 1,000
kPa it is essential to fit a pressure re‐
ducing valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
3
with a / " threaded union. The stop‐
4
cock should be fitted by a qualified
plumber.

The connection point is subject
to mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
