The Miele Waterproof system
Provided that your dishwasher has
been installed correctly, the Miele Wa-
terproof system will protect you from
water damage throughout its lifetime.
Water inlet
Health risk due to wash water.
Water in the dishwasher is not drink-
ing water.
Do not drink any water from the dish-
washer.
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking wa-
ter specification of the country in
which the dishwasher is being oper-
ated.
Connect the dishwasher to a drinking
water supply.
The dishwasher may be connected to
cold or hot water (up to max. 60°C)
supplies.
If energy-saving water heating sources
such as solar energy circulation sys-
tems are used, we recommend con-
necting to the hot water connection.
This saves both time and electrical en-
ergy costs. Hot water is used in all pro-
grammes.
The SolarSave programme (if available)
requires a hot water connection of
between a minimum of 45°C and a
maximum of 60°C (inlet temperature).
The higher the water intake temperat-
ure, the better the cleaning and drying
results.
The water inlet hose is approximately
1.5m long. A 1.5m long, flexible metal
extension hose (tested to 14,000kPa/
140bar) is available as an optional ac-
cessory from Miele dealers or the Miele
Customer Service Department.
A stopcock with a ¾"threaded union is
required for the connection. If a stop-
cock is not available, only a qualified in-
staller may connect the dishwasher to
the drinking water supply.
The water connection pressure must be
between 50 and 1000kPa. If the water
connection pressure is too high, a pres-
sure reducing valve must be fitted.
