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.
Connection to the water sup‐
ply
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 connec‐
tion to a hot water supply if it is eco‐
nomical, e.g. a solar powered supply.
When connected to a hot water sup‐
ply 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 op‐
tional 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 with‐
out an extra non-return valve if na‐
tional 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 ap‐
pliance, 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).
