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.
When connected to a hot water supply
all programme stages which would
otherwise be carried out with cold
water (pre-wash and interim rinse) as
well as the PRE-WASH will be carried
out with hot water.
The programme “Energy save” (with-
out heater) needs connection to a
hot water supply with a temperature
of at least 45°C.
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
if national regulations allow this.
The water pressure (flow rate at the
take-off point) must be between 0.3
and 10 bar pressure.
If the water pressure is too low the
“Water inlet light” can light up, (see
“Problem solving 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 following illustration).
Connect the inlet hose with the
“Waterproof-System” preferably verti-
cally so that the hose exits from the
bottom of the “Waterproof valve” box.
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’.
