Connection to the water inlet
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.
Connection to a hot water supply
would save energy costs and time.
When connected to a hot water sup-
ply all programme stages which
would otherwise be carried out with
cold water (pre-wash and interim
rinse) as well as the PRE-WASH pro-
gramme will be carried out with hot
water.
The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long;
a longer hose (4 m) may be bought
from the Miele Spare Parts Dept.
A stopcock with a 3/4" male thread
must be provided on site.
The dishwasher is constructed to
comply with DVGW regulations, and
may be connected to a suitable sup-
ply without an extra non-return valve
provided that national regulations
allow this.
The water pressure (flow rate at the
take-off point) must be between 1.0
and 10 bar pressure.
If the water pressure is too low the in-
dicator lights “Wash/Rinse”, “Drying”
and “End” flash (see Problem Solv-
ing Guide).
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be fitted.
The water inlet hose must not be
shortened or damaged in any way
(see illustration).
Connect the inlet hose with the “Water-
proof-System” preferably vertically
(use an angle connector if necessary).
If this is not possible, it can be in-
stalled horizontally,
but it is essen-
tial that the main body of the “Water-
proof valve” box is above the hose
exit (see illustration). The ’lightning’
power symbol should be above the
water flow ’arrow’.
