Installation and connection
The Miele water protection
system

The Miele water protection system

protects the washing machine from
water damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit and the washing
machine housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
– The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than 14,000 kPa
– The inlet hose has a protective
sleeve which is made from metal to
protect the hose from damage.
2) Electronic unit and washing
machine housing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the appliance. A
float switches off the safety valves,
preventing any more water flowing
into the machine and water in the
suds container is pumped away.
64
– Overflow protection
This prevents the washing machine
taking in too much water. If the
water level exceeds a certain level,
the drain pump switches in and
pumps the excess water away.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being
emptied completely.
