The water protection system

The Miele water protection system
protects all parts of the washing
machine and its surroundings from
water damage.
The system consists of the following
main components:
– the inlet hose
– the electronic module and drainage
and overflow protection
– the drain hose
Inlet hoses
– Protection against the hoses bursting
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than 7,000 kPa /
1,015.26 psi.

– 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
pumped away.
– Overflow protection: This prevents
the washing machine taking in too
much water. If the water level
exceeds 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
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being emptied
completely.
