 Health risk posed by process chemi-
cals
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.Do
not re-use removable hose attachments.
Use the sets of hoses supplied with the
dishwasher.
- The dishwasher must be connected to the
water supply in strict accordance with cur-
rent local and national water authority reg-
ulations.
- The water used must at least comply with
national codes for drinking water quality. If
the water supply has a high iron content,
there is a risk of corrosion occurring on
wash 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 to wash items being
cleaned in the dishwasher will be further
increased.
- 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 29 psi (200kPa) over-
pressure (100kPa = 1bar = 14.5 psi). At a
water pressure (flow pressure) below 29
psi (200kPa), the water inlet time extends
automatically. The maximum permissible
static pressure amounts to 145 psi
(1,000kPa) (overpressure). If the water
pressure does not lie in the 29-145 psi
(200–1,000kPa) range, contact Miele
Customer Service for advice.
- The dishwasher is supplied as standard for
connection to cold water (blue coded
hose) and hot water up to max. 150°F
(65°C) (red coded hose). Connect the wa-
ter inlet hoses to the supply valves for cold
and hot water.
- If no hot water supply is available, the inlet
hose with the red marking must also be
connected to the cold water supply.
- A faucet with a 3/4inch male thread must
be provided on site. This should be easily
accessible, since the water inlet should be
shut off whenever the machine is not in
use.
- The DN10 water inlet hose hose is ap-
prox. 67" (1.7m) long, terminating in a
3/4inch female thread. A 59" (1.5m) long
flexible metal extension hose (tested to
140bar) is available as an optional acces-
sory if required. On no account may the in-
let filter in the female thread be removed.
 Damage caused by shortening the
hose.
Do not shorten or otherwise damage the
water inlet hoses supplied with the ma-
chine.
