Connection to the drainage
system
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The
drain hose must not be kinked as this
restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at
the end of the hose can be turned in
either direction, or can be detached if
required, with a sharp twist and pull.
If required, the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 5 m. The
necessary parts can be purchased
from Miele.
* For a delivery head more than 1 m (up
to a max. of 1.8 m), a second duo-drain
pump is available with the
corresponding kit from Miele.
Drain hose connection:
