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.
Risk of electric shock!
There are electrical wires in the water
inlet hose.
The inlet hose must not be
connected in an area subject to
spray water, e.g. in a bathroom or
shower room.
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 pressure
exceeds 1,000 kPa (10 bar), a pressure
reducing valve must be installed.
A tap with a ¾ inch threaded union is
required for the connection. If this is not
available, only a qualified plumber may
connect the washing machine to the
mains water supply.
The screw thread is subject to water
connection pressure.
Check that the connection is
leakproof. Slowly turn on the tap.
Correct the position of the seal and
screw thread if necessary.

Only use a
Miele Waterproof system
hose should you need a replacement.
Damage caused by dirty water.
This washing machine has a filter in
the hose connection to the casing to
protect the solenoid valve.
This filter must not be removed.
