Connection to the water supply
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated mains water.
The quality of the water used must
correspond to the drinking water
specification of the country in which
the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing
machine to potable water.
The washing machine must be
connected to a mains water supply in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations.
The water connection pressure needs
to be between 100 kPa (1 bar) and
1,000 kPa (10 bar). If the water
connection pressure exceeds
1,000 kPa, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
A tap with a ¾ inch threaded union is
required for the connection.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure.
Turn on the tap slowly and check for
leaks. Correct the position of the
washer and union if necessary.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement. These are
tested to withstand pressures up to
7000 kPa.
A filter is located in the open end
of the inlet hose and another in the
intake point to protect the inlet valve.
The filters must remain in place, and
be replaced after cleaning.
Hose extension
Longer hoses 2.5 m or 4.0 m in length
are available from Miele as optional
accessories (depending on country).
