The water protection system
The Miele water protection system pro-
tects all parts of the washer-dryer from
water damage.
The system mainly consists of the fol-
lowing components:
- the inlet hose
- the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
- the drain hose
Inlet hose
- Protects the safety valve from burst-
ing
The inlet hose can withstand pres-
sure greater than 14,000 kPa.
- The inlet hose has a protective
sleeve.
The inlet hose has metal braiding as
a “second skin” to protect against
damage.
Electronic unit and casing
- The floor tray
Any leaking water is collected in a
floor tray in the base of the washer-
dryer. A float switches off the water
inlet valves. Further water intake is
blocked. The water inside the suds
container is pumped down.
- Overflow protection
This prevents the washer-dryer from
taking in too much water and over-
flowing. If the water level exceeds a
certain level, the drain pump
switches on and pumps the excess
water away.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ventila-
tion system which prevents the washer-
dryer from being emptied completely.
