Connection to 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 used must at least comply with European regulations for
drinking water quality. If the water supply has a high iron content
there is a danger of corrosion occurring on items being cleaned in
the machine, as well as the machine itself. If the chloride content of
the water exceeds 100 mg/l the risk of corrosion to items being
cleaned in the machine will be further increased.
- UK, Australia and New Zealand only: To comply with water
regulation requirements, this machine must be connected to the
potable water supply via the the non-return check valve supplied
with the machine.
- This machine is supplied as standard for connection to cold water
(blue coded hose) or hot water up to max. 65 °C (UK: max. 60 °C)
(red coded hose). Connect the inlet hose to the cold or hot water
stopcock as required.
- The Minimum flow pressure for a cold or hot water connection is
40 kPa pressure, and for AD water connection is 30 kPa pressure.
- Recommended flow pressure for cold and hot water connections
is ≥ 200 kPa pressure and for AD water connection ≥ 200 kPa
pressure, to avoid excessively long water intake times.
- The maximum permissible static water pressure is 1,000 kPa
pressure.
- If the water pressure does not fall into the stated range contact
Miele Service for advice.
- More information on AD water connection can be found at the end
of this section.
- Stopcocks with a ¾ inch screw thread must be provided on site for
the connection. The valves must be easily accessible to allow the
water inlet to be turned off when not in use.

DN 10, with ¾ inch screw thread. The filters in the screw threads
must not be removed.
