The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
The "Waterproof system" is
NOT
suit-
able for connection to a hot water
supply.
The protective sleeve of the hose
must
not be damaged
(see illustration).
A "Waterproof system" with a hose
length of approx. 4.5 metres is available
as an optional extra from your Miele
dealer or the Spare Parts Department.
Function
At the heart of this leak protection sys-
tem there is an
electric safety valve
,
which works like an automatic stop-
cock.
The Miele "Waterproof system" protects
from water damage in the following
cases:
Protection in the event of a leaking
machine.
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the appliance. A
float switch switches the safety valve off
electrically. No more water will flow in.
Protection in the event of a leaking
water inlet hose
Leaking water is fed into the sump
through the protective covering which
surrounds the inlet hose as a "second
skin". The float switch turns off the water
supply.
Maintenance
N.B. If you need to unscrew the "Water-
proof system" unit from the mains water
supply it is essential that the machine is
first disconnected from the electricity
supply.
Only use a genuine Miele "Waterproof
system" able to withstand pressure of
up to 70 bar, should you ever need a
replacement.
To protect the filters in the water inlet
valves the dirt filter in the "Water-
proof system" connection must not
be removed.
