Connection To The Water Supply - Miele WDD 020 EcoPlus&Comfort Operating Instructions Manual

Installation and connection

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.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been pressure tested to withstand at
least 7,000 kPa should you ever need a
replacement.
A filter is located in the open end of
the inlet hose and another in the
intake point to protect the inlet valve.
Neither filter may be removed.

Hose extension
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
