The Water Protection System - Miele WWG 660 Operating Instructions Manual

The water protection system

The Miele water protection system
protects all parts of the washing
machine from water damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
– the inlet hose
– the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
– the drain hose
Inlet hose
– Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressure of at least 7,000 kPa.
Electronic unit and washing machine
housing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the machine. A
float switches off the water inlet
valves, preventing any more water
from flowing into the machine and
water in the suds container is
pumped away.
– Overflow protection
This prevents the washing machine
taking in too much water. If the water
level exceeds a certain level, the
drain pump switches in and pumps
the excess water away.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being emptied
completely.
