Connection to water supply
Fitting
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
standard regulations. In Germany the
washing machine is not required to
have a non-return valve as it has been
designed to comply with the relevant
German DIN standard.
The machine is designed to operate
with a minimum water pressure of 1 bar.
There is a minimum flow pressure of 1
bar if 5 litres of water flow into a suit-
able container in 15 seconds. The static
water pressure must not exceed 10 bar.
If it is higher than 10 bar it is essential
to fit a reducer valve.
The
Miele Waterproof-System
con-
nected between the stopcock and the
machine offers the safest protection
against water leaks.
For the Waterproof system to function
correctly, it may only be fitted in the po-
sitions shown (see illustrations).
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with
3
/
4
'' thread. The stopcock should
be fitted by a qualified plumber.
