Plumbing

Cold water connection
The stack should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
Water regulations UK only
This washer-extractor and tumble dryer
stack is approved for all UK
applications as suitable for category 5.
The product is listed in the WRAS
regulations advisory scheme directory
and is suitable for direct connection to
mains drinking water. No special
plumbing arrangements e.g. break
tanks are required.
Three Water Council approved double
check valves are supplied in the
accessories pack provided with the
washer-extractor. They should be fitted
in between the stopcocks and the water
inlet hoses.
The water-extractor and tumble dryer
stack is designed to operate with a flow
pressure of between 1 and 10 bar
(100 kPa and 1,000 kPa). At higher
water pressures it is essential to fit a
reducer valve.
Connection to the water supply should
be carried out by a qualified plumber
and should incorporate a stopcock with
a 3/4" thread. The stopcock should be
fitted by an authorised plumber.
The washer-extractor is supplied with
two hoses for connection to a hot and
cold water supply.
Installation and connection
The cold water inlet hose (blue
stripes) must be connected to the
on-site cold water supply via a 3/4"
threaded union. It is is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
,
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.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement. Miele
hoses are tested to withstand pressure
of at least 70 bar (7,000 kPa).
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filters - one in the
open end of the inlet hose, one at
the inlet point in the
washer-extractor must not be
removed.
Extension hose
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from your Miele dealer or the
Miele Spare Parts Department as
optional extras.
