Connecting The Drain Hose - Miele PFD 104 SCVi Operating Instructions Manual

Installation

Connecting the drain hose

- The machine drainage system is
fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.
- The dishwasher drainage hose
should preferably be connected to a
separate on-site drain for the
dishwasher only. If no separate
connection is available, we
recommend connecting it to a dual-
chamber siphon.
- The dishwasher is supplied with
approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose
with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
Hose clips are supplied with the
dishwasher.
- The drain hose must not be
shortened. The hose can be
extended using a connection piece to
attach a further length of hose. The
drainage length must not be longer
than 4 m and the delivery head no
higher than 1 m.
- The drainage system must be able to
accommodate a minimum drainage
flow of 16 l/min.

Make sure that there are no kinks
in the hose, and that it is not
squashed or stretched.

Hose positioning with a low water
drainage height
If the on-site drainage connection is
situated lower than the guide path for
the lower basket rollers in the open
door, the water drain hose must be
raised to the height of the guide path
for the lower basket rollers with a bend
in it. Otherwise, a siphoning effect
during a programme can cause the
appliance to empty itself of water.
Tall unit installation (only available in
selected countries)
The accessories APFD 101 and
APFD 102 are optional for installing the
dishwasher in a tall unit.
