 Health risk posed by process chemic-
als
Water in the dishwasher must not be
used as drinking water.
Do not drink water from the dishwasher.
Do not re-use removable sets of hoses.
Use the sets of hoses supplied with the
dishwasher.
- The dishwasher must be connected to the
water supply in strict accordance with
current local and national water authority
regulations.
- The water used must comply with the Wa-
ter Supply (Water Quality) Regulations. If
the water supply has a high iron content,
there is a risk of corrosion occurring on
load items in the dishwasher, as well as
the dishwasher itself. If the chloride con-
tent of the water exceeds 100mg/l, the
risk of corrosion on load items will be in-
creased considerably.
- In certain regions (e.g. mountainous re-
gions), the water composition may cause
precipitates to form, requiring the use of
softened water for the dishwasher.
- The water pressure (flow pressure) must
amount to at least 200kPa pressure
(100kPa = 1bar). At a water pressure
(flow pressure) below 200kPa, the water
inlet time extends automatically. The max-
imum permissible static pressure amounts
to 1000kPa (overpressure). If the water
pressure does not lie in the 200–1000kPa
range, contact the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Department for advice.
- The dishwasher is supplied as standard
for connection to cold water (blue coded
hose) and hot water up to max. 60°C (red
coded hose). Connect the inlet hoses to
the stopcocks for cold and hot water.
- If no hot water supply is available, the in-
let hose with the red marking for the hot
water connection must also be connected
to the cold water supply.
- A stopcock with a 3/4inch screw thread
must be provided on site for the connec-
tion. The valve should be easily access-
ible, since the water inlet should be shut
off whenever the machine is not in use.
- The inlet hose is a DN10 pressure hose
measuring approx. 1.7m in length, ter-
minating in a 3/4inch screw thread. A
1.5m long flexible metal extension hose
(tested to 140bar) is available as an op-
tional accessory if required. On no ac-
count may the inlet filter in the screw
thread be removed.
 Damage caused by shortening the
hose.
Do not shorten or otherwise damage the
inlet hoses supplied with the machine.
Do not shorten the inlet hoses.
