Water connection
Cold water connection
The washing machine should be con-
nected to a domestic water supply in
accordance with current local and na-
tional safety regulations. The German
authorities do not require it to have a
non-return valve as the washing ma-
chine has been designed to comply
with DIN regulations.
The flow pressure must amount to a
minimum of 14.5 psi (100 kPa) and
must not exceed 145 psi (1,000 kPa). If
the pressure exceeds 145 psi
(1,000 kPa), a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
For the connection, a faucet with a ¾
inch screw thread is required. If this
type of faucet is not available, only a
qualified installer may connect the
washing machine to the domestic water
supply.
The connection point is subject to
domestic water pressure.
You should therefore open the faucet
slowly and check for leaks. Correct
the position of the washer and screw
thread if appropriate.
The intake hose for cold water is not
suitable for connection to a hot water
supply.
Installation and connection
Switching to cold water operation
If the washing machine is not con-
nected to a hot water point, you will
have to configure the settings Main
wash water, Pre-wash water, and Rinse
water to
cold
(see "Supervisor level").
Unscrew the hot water hose.
Screw on the stopper provided.
Maintenance
Only use genuine Miele hoses that have
been tested to withstand pressure of at
least 1,015 psi (7,000 kPa) should you
ever need a replacement.
A filter is located in the open end of
the intake hose and another in the in-
take point to protect the water intake
valves.
Neither filter may be removed.
Hose extension
Longer hoses of 8' 2 7/16" or 13' 1 1/2"
(2.5 m or 4.0 m) in length are available
from Miele Technical Service or from
your Miele dealer as accessories.
