Connecting the water drain

- A non-return valve is incorporated into the drain system in the
machine to prevent drainage water flowing back into the machine
via the drain hose.
- The machine drainage hose should be connected to a separate
drain for the machine only. If no separate drain is available, we
recommend connecting it to a dual-chamber siphon.
 Typically, the drain water of the machine will reach temperatures
greater than 60°C (140°F).
Some on-site drain material may not be compatible with the
discharge temperature.
The operator is responsible to verify the compatibility of all utility
services including drainage, however Miele offers as an optional
effluent cool down kit to reduce the drain temperature to 60°C
(140°F).
- The on-site connection point, measured from the lower edge of
the machine, should be positioned at a height between 0.3 m and
1.0 m (1-3.2 ft). If it is lower than 0.3 m, the drain hose must be laid
in a coil at a height of at least 0.3 m.
- The drainage system must be able to accommodate a minimum
drainage flow of 16 l/min.
- The drainage hose is approx. 1.4 m (4.6 ft) long and flexible with an
internal diameter of 22 mm (7/8"). Hose clips for the connection are
supplied.
- The drain hose must not be shortened.
- The drain hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach
a further length of hose up to 4.0 m (13 ft) long. The drainage length
must not exceed 4.0 m.
- Drainage noise can be considerably reduced if the drainage hose is
positioned in an arc at a minimum height of 0.6 m and a max.
height of 1.0 m (2-3.2 ft) measured from the bottom edge of the
machine.
