The Miele Waterproof system
Provided that your dishwasher has
been installed correctly, the Miele
waterproof anti-leak system will protect
you from water damage throughout its
lifetime.
Connection to the water
supply
,
Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
– The dishwasher may be connected
to a cold or hot water supply, max.
60 °C. We would only recommend
connection to a hot water supply if it
is economical. When connected to a
hot water supply, all programme
stages which would otherwise be
carried out with cold water will be
carried out with hot water, thus
saving time and energy costs.
– A warm water connection of at least
45 °C and a maximum of 60 °C
(temperature of incoming water) is
required for the use of the "Without
heater" programme (if available).
The higher the temperature of the
incoming water, the better the
cleaning and drying results will be.
– The inlet hose is approx. 1.5 m long.
A 1.5 m long flexible metal extension
hose, pressure tested to 14000 kPa/
140 bar, is available as an optional
accessory if required.
– A
3
/
4
" male thread must be provided
on site.
– The dishwasher is constructed to
comply with Australian regulations,
and may be connected to a suitable
supply without an extra non-return
valve if national regulations allow
this.
– The water pressure (flow pressure at
the take-off point) must be between
30 and 1000 kPa (0.3 and 10 bar).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message
Water inlet
fault
will appear in the display (see
"Problem solving guide").
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer valve must be
fitted.
After commissioning the appliance,
ensure that the water inlet does not
leak.
