Connection to the water supply
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 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.
Installation and connection
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement or
extension. These are tested to
withstand pressure of at least
7,000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filters (one in the
open end of the inlet hose, the other
in 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 your Miele Dealer or
Miele as optional extras.
