The Miele waterproof anti-leak
system
As long as your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele waterproof
anti-leak system will protect you from
water damage throughout its lifetime.
Connection to the water
supply
Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
– The dishwasher may be connected to
a cold or hot water supply, max.
60 °C.
We would only recommend
connection to a hot water supply if it
is economical, e.g. a solar powered
supply. When connected to a hot
water supply all programme stages
which would otherwise be carried out
with cold water will be carried out
with hot water.
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
A 1.5 m long flexible metal extension
hose, pressure tested to 14000
kPa/140 bar) is available as an
optional accessory, if required.
– A stopcock with a 3/4" male thread
must be provided on site.
– This appliance is constructed to
comply with IEC/EN/DIN 61770 //
VDE 0700 Section 600, and may be
connected to a suitable supply
without an extra non-return valve if
national regulations permit.
– The flow pressure at the water intake
must lie between 30 and 1000 kPa
(0.3 and 10 bar). If it is higher than
this a pressure reducing valve must
be fitted.
After connecting the dishwasher to
the water supply, check that all
plumbing connections are watertight.
To avoid any damage to the
appliance, the dishwasher must only
be connected to a fully vented
plumbing system.
The inlet hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way as
it contains electrical components
(see illustration).
