Connection to the water inlet
Water in the machine must not be
used as drinking water.
The machine must be connected to
the water supply in accordance with
local and national regulations.
The machine is constructed to com-
ply with Australian 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 pressure)
must be a minimum of 2 bar (200 kPa)
and a maximum of 10 bar (1000 kPa).
If it is below 2 bar (200 kPa) the
water intake time is automatically ex-
tended.
Should the water pressure (flow
pressure) fall below 0.5 bar (50 kPa)
the machine will not function. (The
p

-indicator light may come on
and the fault code “F2E” show in the
display field). Please consult the
Miele Service Department with re-
gard to corrective measures.
The machine is supplied as standard
for connection to a cold (coded
blue) or a hot (coded red) water sup-
ply up to a max. temperature of 70°C.
The inlet hose should be connected
to the stopcocks for the hot or cold
water supply.
If a hot water supply is not available,
the inlet hose (coded red) should also
be connected to the cold water supply.
In this case both inlet hoses are con-
nected to the cold water supply.
A stopcock with 3/4 inch male thread
must be provided on site. It should
be easily accessible because the
water supply must be turned off
when the machine is not in use.
The DN 10 inlet hose is approx.
1.7 m long terminating in a 3/4 inch
female thread. On no account may
the inlet filter be removed.
The large surface area filters (sup-
plied with the machine) must be in-
stalled between the stopcock and
the inlet hose. (For illustration see
“Cleaning and Care” and “Water
inlet”).
The inlet hose must not be short-
ened or damaged in any way.
See also the installation diagram sup-
plied.
