Connection to drainage
Machines with a drain pump
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The
drain hose must not be kinked as this
would restrict drainage. The swivel
elbow at the end of the hose can be
turned in either direction, or can be
detached if required, with a sharp twist
and pull.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m
(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a second
duo-drain pump is available with the
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.
The drain hose may be connected as
follows:
1. Direct into a sink or basin (drain
pump version):
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure.
– Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance.
Otherwise there is a risk of water
overflowing or of some of the drained
water being sucked back into the
machine.
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no
need to use a non-return valve.
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.
(Seal the hose into the pipe to avoid
flooding in case of the drainpipe
being blocked).
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
Installation and connection
If required the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 5 m. The
necessary parts can purchased from
the Miele Spare Parts Department or
your Miele dealer.
Drain valve version
A motorised drain valve is used to drain
the machine. A DN 70 angle connector
can be used for draining the machine
via an on-site gully (with odour trap).
N.B. If not supplied with the machine an
angle connector is available through
the Miele Spare Parts Department.
