Plumbing
The machine is supplied as standard
with two hoses, for connection to a hot
and cold water supply.
Connection to cold water supply
The machine should be connected to
the water supply in accordance with
standard regulations. The German auth-
orities do not require it to have a non-re-
turn valve as the washer-extractor has
been constructed to comply with the
relevant valid standard (DIN-Norm).
Connection to the water supply should
be carried out by a qualified plumber
and should incorporate a stopcock with
a 3/4" thread.
The approx. 1.5 m long 3/8" pressure
hose (blue stripes) should be con-
nected to the stopcock via the 3/4"
threaded union.
This hose is
not
suitable for connection
to a hot water supply.
Make sure that the washer sits cor-
rectly in the union.
The connection points are subject to
water pressure. Turn on the stopcock
slowly and check for leaks. Correct the
positioning of the washers and screw
unions if appropriate.
If replacing the inlet hose only use a
hose tested to withstand pressure of
at least 70 bar. This also applies to
all fittings used. Miele original parts
fulfil this condition.
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available as optional extras.
The pressure hose and solenoid inlet
valve are designed for a water flow
pressure of between 1 and 10 bar. At
higher water pressures it is essential to
fit a reducer valve.
There is a minimum flow pressure of 1
bar if 5 litres of water flow into a suit-
able container in 15 seconds.
