The Miele water protection
system

The Miele water protection system

protects all parts of the washing
machine and its surroundings from
water damage.
The system mainly consists of the
following components:
– the inlet hose
– the electronic unit, and the drainage
and overflow protection
– the drain hose
Inlet hoses
– Protection against the hoses bursting
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than
1,015.26 psi/7,000 kPa.
Installation and connection
Electronic unit and machine housing
– Sump: Any leaking water from the
washing machine is collected in a
sump in the base of the machine. A
float switches off the water inlet
valves. This shuts off the water intake
and prevents any more water from
flowing into the machine. Water in the
suds container is pumped away.
– Overflow protection: This prevents
the washing machine from taking in
too much water and overflowing. If
the water level exceeds a certain
level, the drain pump switches on
and pumps the excess water away.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
machine from being emptied
completely.
