Plumbing; Connection To The Cold Water Supply - Miele PW 6080 Vario Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation

Plumbing

The machine is built in accordance with
current standards and must be
connected to a mains water supply in
accordance with local and national
safety regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa (14.5 psi and
145 psi). 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 a qualified plumber.
The machine is supplied as standard
with two hoses, for connection to a hot
and cold water supply.

Connection to the cold water supply

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 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 7,000 kPa (1,015 psi).
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 machine - must
not be removed.
Extension hose
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from the Miele Spare Parts
Department as optional extras.
