Hot Water Connection; Drainage; Drain Valve - Miele PWM 508 Mop Star 80 Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation

Hot water connection*

The hot water temperature must not
exceed 70°C.
To minimise energy consumption during
operation with hot water, the washing
machine should be connected to a
suitable hot water ring circuit. So-called
"transmission pipes" (single pipes to
hot water generators) can result in
cooling down of the water remaining in
the pipes if not in constant use. More
energy would then be consumed to
heat the suds up again.
The same connection requirements as
for cold water also apply to hot water.
The inlet hose (hot = red stripes) is
connected to the water tap.
It is not possible to connect the
washing machine to a hot water
connection only.
* Some machine versions do not come
with a hot water hose.
Switching to hot water operation
If the washing machine is to be
connected to hot water, you will have to
configure the settings Main wash water,

Drainage

Drain valve

The washing machine is drained using a
motorised drain valve. A DN 70 angle
connector can be used for draining the
machine via an on-site floor drain (gully
with odour trap).
