Plumbing
It is the responsibility and obligation
of the customer to ensure that the
electrical and plumbing installation
is carried out by a qualified installer
in compliance with national and
local codes and ordinances.
All dishwashers that carry the following
blue and white sticker are designed to
shut off the water and drain the wash
cabinet in the rare event of an internal
water valve failure.
In order for this feature to be active,
the machine must be “ON” (not
necessarily running) and the door
must be closed when the dishwasher
is not being used.
Hot water supply specifications:
Recommended temperature: 49°C
(120°F)
Maximum temperature: 60°C (140°F)
Water pressure:
0.3 - 10 bar
(4.5 - 145 psi)
An air gap is built into the water inlet
system and will prevent potable water
mixing with waste water should a va-
cuum occur in water pipes.
Water connection
Note: Water connections must be
in accordance with national
and local codes ordinances.
Connection to the water inlet
The dishwasher should be connected
to hot water (max. 60°C) supply. NB
Please check with the Miele Service De-
partment if you are unsure whether
your household hot water system is suit-
able.
A shut-off valve with 3/4" male thread
must be provided on site (garden
hose type, 11.5 threads per 1" length).
The inlet hose with Waterproof sys-
tem is approx. 1.5 m long.
If the water pressure is too low the
machine may not take in enough
water in the allowed time and the
“Water Intake” indicator lamp will
flash (see “Problem solving guide”).
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer must be installed.
For the Miele “Waterproof” leak pro-
tection system to function properly
the inlet hose must be connected to
the shut-off valve in the correct man-
ner (As shown here).
