Connect the cold water supply hose
(marked blue) to the cold water tap
and the warm water supply hose
(marked red) to the warm water tap.
Turn on taps and check for leakage.
The water pressure must be within the
0.1-1 MPa (14 – 140 psi) range. If the
water pressure is greater than 1 Mpa
(140 psi), a reducer valve must be
fitted. At pressures below 0.1 Mpa
(14 psi), the standard inlet valve of the
machine must be exchanged for a low
pressure version by an authorized
Miele Service Technician.
The water supply hoses are equipped
with a strainer filter; please do not
remove this filter.
Special note
If the machine is not to be connected
to a hot water supply, it is essential
that the hot water inlet hose is also
connected to the cold water supply,
using a Y connector. Otherwise cor-
rect functioning of the machine
could be impeded.
It is not allowed to connect the ma-
chine to a hot water supply only, for
functional and safety reasons.
Connection to the drainage system
The 1.5 m hooked drain hose may be
connected as follows:
1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose se-
curely over the edge and secure,
e.g. by tying the hose to the water
tap.
2. Connection to a drain pipe: fit drain
hose into a 38 mm ( 1
1/2
") pipe and
secure firmly. (An antisiphoning de-
vice is not required.)
3. Drainage into floor gully: if required,
the drain hose may be extended to
5 m (15 ft.) maximum.
The machine drains via a pump with a
maximum delivery head of 1.2 m (4 ft.).
The hose must not be kinked as this
restricts drainage.
