Water Intake - Miele WTD 160 Operating Instructions Manual

Water intake


Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking
water specification of the country in
which the machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing
machine to the mains water supply.
The washer-dryer is not required to
have a non-return valve connected to
the mains water supply as the washing
machine has been designed to comply
with DIN regulations in Germany.
The water inlet pressure must be at
least 100 kPa and must not exceed an
overpressure of 1000 kPa. If the
pressure exceeds 1000 kPa, a pressure
reducing valve must be installed.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a stopcock with a
¾" screw thread. If no stopcock is
available, only a qualified installer may
connect the washer-dryer to the mains
water supply.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure.
You should open the stopcock slowly
and check for leaks. Correct the
position of the seal and screw thread
if water escapes.
The washer-dryer is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been pressure tested to withstand at
least 7000 kPa should you ever need a
replacement.
The dirt filter in the union nut at the
open end of the water inlet hose
protects the water intake valve.
This filter must not be removed.
Hose extension
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from Miele as optional extras.
