The Miele WaterProof System

Provided your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele Waterproof
system will provide protection against
water damage throughout its lifetime.

The water in the dishwasher is
NOT safe to drink!
– The dishwasher's connection to the
water supply system must be in
compliance with local codes.
– The water quality should satisfy local
drinking water requirements.
A high iron content can lead to
external rust deposits on the wash
load and the dishwasher itself.
A chloride concentration greater than
100 mg/l in the process water
significantly increases the risk of
corrosion for the wash load.
– In certain regions (e.g. mountainous
areas), the typical water composition
can cause precipitates to form, which
in turn requires the use of softened
water for the dishwasher.
– A device for preventing the return
flow of water is not necessary, as this
dishwasher conforms to the
applicable standards for the
protection of drinking water.

– Water pressure: Must be between
4.35 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message
will appear in the display (see
"Frequently asked questions").
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be fitted.
– A shut-off valve with a
thread must be provided on site. It
should be easily accessible so that
the water supply can be turned off
when the dishwasher is not in use.
– The intake hose is an approx.
59" (1.5 m) long DN 10 pressure hose
3
with a / " screw connection. A
4
59" (1.5 m) flexible metal hose (test
pressure: 140 bar) is available as an
extension. Do not remove the filter
and flow regulator from the screw
connection.
