Notes on connecting to the
mains water supply
Connection to the mains water
supply should only be carried out by
a qualified and competent person in
accordance with national and local
regulations.
The water quality must conform to
the requirements for drinking water
in the country the appliance is being
installed in.
– This appliance complies with IEC
61770 and EN 61770 (ATS 5200.101
in Australia).
– All items used for connecting the
appliance to the mains water supply
must comply with the current national
and local safety regulations in the
country in which the appliance is
being installed.
– The appliance is only suitable for
connection to the cold water supply.
– The water pressure (flow rate) must
be between 1.5 and 6 bar.
– The stainless steel hose is 1.5 m
long. This may only be lengthened
by means of a Miele extension hose.
This extension hose is available from
the Miele Spare Parts Department
and must only be fitted by a suitably
qualified fitter.
– A stopcock must be provided
between the stainless steel hose and
the household water supply to
ensure that the water supply can be
cut off if necessary.
The stopcock should be easily
accessible after the appliance has
been built-in.
Connection to the water inlet
Before making plumbing
connections, ensure the appliance is
disconnected from the mains
electricity supply.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with

Connect the stainless steel hose to
the stopcock.

Ensure that it is screwed into position
correctly.
Before using the appliance for the first
time the water inlet pipe should be
purged of air by a qualified and
competent person.
– To do so the stainless steel hose
should be filled as far as possible
with water before being connected to
the solenoid valve.
– Mop up any spillages with a cloth.
