Connection To The Water Supply - Miele WMV 960 WPS Operating Instructions Manual

Connection to the water supply


The casing on the water inlet
hose contains electrical components.
It must not be connected in areas
where there is the risk of water or
other liquids reaching it, e.g.
bathrooms.
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
connected to a mains water supply in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. The German
authorities 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
reducing valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with a ¾" threaded union. The stopcock
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.
