Water Connection - Miele PFD 101 U Installations Plan

Water connection

Water intake
Drainage
The dishwasher must only be connected to fully vented pipework.
A brief increase in the water pressure can damage components of
the dishwasher.
The quality of the incoming water must comply with the requirements
for drinking water in the country in which the dishwasher is being op-
erated.
The dishwasher must be connected to the water supply in strict ac-
cordance with current local and national water authority regulations. It
can be connected to cold or hot water supplies. Connecting the dish-
washer to a hot water supply will reduce program cycle times.
For short program cycle times, a water pressure of at least 29 psi
(200 kPa) is also required.
If this type of shut-off valve is not available, only a qualified installer
may connect the dishwasher to the domestic water supply.
The shut-off valve should remain accessible once the dishwasher
has been installed so that the water supply can be shut off whenever
the appliance is not in use.
The dishwasher drainage hose should be connected to a separate
on-site drain for the dishwasher only. If no separate drain is available,
we recommend connecting it to a dual-chamber siphon. When using
a drain loop additional backflow prevention is not required.
If the hose is to be directly connected to the drainage outlet on site,
use the hose clip supplied with the dishwasher.
The on-site connector for the drain hose can be used for various hose
diameters. If the connector extends more than 1" (30 mm) into the
drain hose, it must be shortened. Otherwise, the drain hose can be-
come clogged.
Lay the drain hose so that it does not kink and is not being sub-
jected to pressure or tugged.
If the on-site drain connection is situated lower than the guide path
for the lower basket rollers in the open door, a siphoning effect dur-
ing a program can cause the appliance to empty itself of water.
In this case, lay the drain hose with a bend in it so that its highest
point is at least level with the guide path for the lower basket rollers.
