Connection to the water
supply
,
The plastic casing of the safety
valve contains electrical
components. The Waterproof system
must only be connected to its own
tap. It must not be connected to
mixer taps or similar and must not
be fitted in areas where there is the
risk of water or other liquids
reaching it. A flexible metal
extension hose, available from your
Miele Chartered Agent or the Miele
Spare Parts Department as an
optional extra, should be used if
necessary.
Do not dip into any liquid.
The protective sleeve of the hose
must not be damaged or kinked.
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
Connection to a household water
softener is not recommended.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 100
and 1000 kPa. If it is higher than
1000 kPa it is essential to fit a reducer
valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains tap with
3
/
4
"
thread. The tap should be fitted by a
qualified plumber.
,
The connection points are
subject to mains water pressure.
Turn on the taps slowly and check
for leaks. Correct the position of the
washer and union if appropriate.
Maintenance and care
Only use a
Miele Waterproof system
hose should you need a replacement.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet
valve connection must not be
removed.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose
is available from the Miele Spare Parts
Department as an optional extra.
This hose is tested to withstand
pressures of up to 14000 kPa and can
be used as a flexible extension to the
water supply.
