The Miele Waterproof System
Provided your dishwasher has been in-
stalled correctly, the Miele Waterproof
System will protect you from water
damage.
Water intake
Danger to health due to wash
water.
Water in the dishwasher must not be
used as drinking water.
Do not drink any water from the dish-
washer.
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking wa-
ter specification of the country in
which the dishwasher is being oper-
ated.
Connect the dishwasher to a drinking
water supply.
The dishwasher may be connected to
cold or hot water (up to max.
150°F/65°C) supplies.
We recommend connecting to a cold
water supply to reduce energy con-
sumption.
If energy-saving water heating sources,
such as solar energy circulation sys-
tems, are used, we recommend con-
necting to the hot water. This saves
both time and electrical energy costs.
Hot water is used in all programs.
The intake hose is approx. 5 ft (1.5 m)
long. A 5 ft (1.5 m) long, flexible metal
extension hose (tested to 2030
psi/14,000 kPa) is available as an op-
tional accessory from Miele specialist
retailers or Miele Customer Service.
