The Miele Waterproof System; Water Inlet - Miele PFD 101 Operating Instructions Manual

Installation

The Miele Waterproof system

As long as your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele waterproof
anti-leak system will provide extensive
protection against water damage
throughout its lifetime.

Water inlet

Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
- The dishwasher 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 dishwasher, as well as
the appliance itself.
If the chloride content of the water
exceeds 100 mg/l, the risk of
corrosion to items being cleaned in
the dishwasher will be further
increased.
- In certain regions (e.g. mountainous
regions), the water composition may
cause precipitates to form, requiring
the use of softened water for the
dishwasher.
- The dishwasher complies with all
valid European standards on the
protection of drinking water.

- The water pressure (flow pressure at
the water connection) must be
between 50 and 1000 kPa (0.5 and
10 bar).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message
will appear in the display (see
"Problem solving guide").
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducing valve must be
fitted.
- A stopcock valve with a
threaded union must be provided on
site. The valve should be easily
accessible, since the water inlet
should be shut off whenever the
appliance is not in use.
- The DN 10 inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m
long terminating in a
thread. A 1.5 m long flexible metal
extension hose tested to 140 bar
(14,000 kPa) is available as an
optional accessory if required. On no
account may the inlet filter or the flow
regulator in the screw thread be
removed.
