Water Connection; Connecting The Water Supply - Miele PG 8504 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting the water supply

 Water from the wash cabinet must not be consumed.
– The machine must be connected to the water supply in strict
accordance with current local and national water authority
regulations.
– The water supply must at least meet the standards for drinking
water. If the water supply has a high iron content, there is a danger
of corrosion occurring on stainless steel items being cleaned in the
machine, as well as the machine itself. If the chloride content in the
water exceeds 100 mg/l, the risk of corrosion to items being
cleaned is greatly increased.
– The machine is equipped with a safety system for the protection of
drinking water and may be connected to the water supply without a
non-return valve, if national regulations permit.
– This machine is supplied as standard for connection to cold water
(blue coded hose) or hot water up to max. 65°C (red coded hose).
Connect the inlet hoses to the cold or hot water tap valves as
required.
– The Minimum flow pressure for a cold or hot water connection is
40 kPa (5.8 psi) pressure, and for DI water connection is 30 kPa
(4.4 psi) pressure.
– Recommended flow pressure for cold and hot water connections
is ≥ 200 kPa (29 psi) pressure and for DI water connection
≥ 200 kPa (29 psi) pressure, to avoid excessively long water intake
times.
– The maximum permissible static water pressure is 1,000 kPa.
– If the water pressure does not fall into the stated range contact
Miele Service for advice.
– More information on DI water connection can be found at the end
of this section.
– A tap valve with a ¾", garden hose thread and male connection,
must be provided on site. It should be easily accessible so that the
water supply can be turned off when the machine is not in use.
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.7 m long (5.5 ft) terminating in a ¾"
female garden hose thread. On no account may the inlet filter be
removed.
