Connecting the water drain

- A non-return valve is incorporated into the drain system in the ma-
chine 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, Miele
recommends connecting it to a dual-chamber siphon.
- The on-site connection point, measured from the lower edge of the
machine, should be positioned at a height between 11 3/4" (0.3 m)
and 3' 3" (1.0 m). If it is lower than 11 3/4" (0.3 m), the drain hose
must be laid in a coil at a height of at least 11 3/4" (0.3 m).
- The drainage system must be able to accommodate a minimum
drainage flow of 4 gpm (16 l/min).
- The drainage hose is approx. 4' 7" (1.4 m) long and flexible with an
internal diameter of 7/8" (22 mm). 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. The drainage length must not be longer
than 13 ft (4.0 m), and the delivery head must not exceed 13 ft
(4.0 m).
