Water intake
Danger to health due to wash
water.
Water in the dishwasher must not be
used as drinking 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.
150°F/65°C) supplies.
We recommend connecting to a cold
water supply to reduce energy con-
sumption.
If energy-saving water heating sources,
such as solar energy circulation sys-
tems, are used, we recommend con-
necting to the hot water. This saves
both time and electrical energy costs.
Hot water is used in all programs.
The
EnergySaver
program (if available)
requires a hot water connection of be-
tween a minimum of 115°F/45°C and a
maximum of 150°F/65°C (intake tem-
perature).
The higher the water intake tempera-
ture, the better the cleaning and drying
results.
The intake hose is approx. 5 ft (1.5 m)
long. A 5 ft (1.5 m) long, flexible metal
extension hose (tested to 2,030
psi/14,000 kPa) is available as an op-
tional accessory from Miele specialist
retailers or Miele Customer Service.
