The Miele Waterproof system
Provided that your dishwasher has
been installed correctly, the Miele Wa-
terproof system will protect you from
water damage throughout its lifetime.
Water inlet
Health risk due to wash water.
Water in the dishwasher is not drink-
ing 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. 60 °C)
supplies.
If energy-saving water heating sources
such as solar energy circulation sys-
tems are used, we recommend con-
necting to the hot water supply. This
saves both time and electrical energy
costs. Hot water is used in all pro-
grammes.
The
SolarSave
programme (if available)
requires a hot water connection of
between a minimum of 45 °C and a
maximum of 60 °C (inlet temperature).
The higher the water intake temperat-
ure, the better the cleaning and drying
results.
The water inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m
long. A 1.5 m long, flexible metal exten-
sion hose (tested to
14,000 kPa/140 bar) is available as an
optional accessory from Miele specialist
dealers or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
A stopcock with a ¾" threaded union is
required for the connection. If a stop-
cock is not available, only a qualified in-
staller may connect the dishwasher to
the drinking water supply.
The water connection pressure must be
between 50 and 1000 kPa. If the water
connection pressure is too high, a pres-
sure reducing valve must be fitted.
