Water connection
Cold water connection
The washing machine should be con-
nected to the mains water supply in ac-
cordance with current local and national
safety regulations. The German author-
ities do not require it to have a non-re-
turn valve as the washing machine has
been designed to comply with DIN reg-
ulations.
The flow pressure must amount to a
minimum of 100 kPa and must not ex-
ceed 1000 kPa. If the pressure exceeds
1000 kPa, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
For the connection, a stopcock with a
¾" screw thread is required. If this type
of stopcock is not available, only a
qualified installer may connect the
washing machine to the mains water
supply.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure.
You should therefore open the stop-
cock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the seal and
screw thread if appropriate.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance
Only use genuine Miele hoses that have
been tested to withstand pressure of at
least 7000 kPa should you ever need a
replacement.
A filter is located in the open end of
the inlet hose and another in the in-
take point to protect the water inlet
valve.
Neither filter may be removed.
Hose extension
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from Miele dealers or the
Miele Customer Service Department as
optional extras.
