The Miele Waterproof system
As long as your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele waterproof
anti-leak system will provide extensive
protection against water damage
throughout its lifetime.
Water inlet
 Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water.
- The dishwasher must be connected
to the water supply in strict
accordance with current local and
national water authority regulations.
- The water used must at least comply
with European regulations for
drinking water quality.
If the water supply has a high iron
content, there is a danger of
corrosion occurring on items being
cleaned in the dishwasher, as well as
the appliance itself.
If the chloride content of the water
exceeds 100mg/l, the risk of
corrosion to items being cleaned in
the dishwasher will be further
increased.
- In certain regions (e.g. mountainous
regions), the water composition may
cause precipitates to form, requiring
the use of softened water for the
dishwasher.
- The dishwasher complies with all
valid European standards on the
protection of drinking water.
- The water pressure (flow pressure at
the water connection) must be
between 50 and 1000kPa (0.5 and
10bar).
If the water pressure is lower than
this, the fault message Water intake
will appear in the display (see
“Problem solving guide”).
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducing valve must be
fitted.
- A stopcock valve with a
3
/
4
inch
threaded union must be provided on
site. The valve should be easily
accessible, since the water inlet
should be shut off whenever the
appliance is not in use.
- The DN10 inlet hose is approx. 1.5m
long terminating in a
3
/
4
inch screw
thread. A 1.5m long flexible metal
extension hose tested to 140bar
(14,000kPa) is available as an
optional accessory if required. On no
account may the inlet filter or the flow
regulator in the screw thread be
removed.
