The Miele Waterproof system
Provided your dishwasher has been
installed correctly, the Miele Waterproof
system will provide extensive protection
against water damage throughout its
lifetime.
Water intake
 Water in the dishwasher must
not be used as drinking water!
– The dishwasher must be connected
to the water supply in accordance
with local regulations.
– The water quality should at least
satisfy local drinking water
requirements.
A high iron content can leave to
external rust deposits on the wash
load and the dishwasher itself.
A chloride concentration greater than
100mg/l in the process water
significantly increases the risk of
corrosion for the wash load..
– In certain regions (e.g. mountainous
regions), the water composition may
cause precipitates to form, requiring
the use of softened water for the
dishwasher.
– A device for preventing the return
flow of water is not necessary, if local
regulations permit.
– The water pressure (flow pressure at
the connection point) must be
between 30 and 1000kPa (4.5 -
145psi).
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 reducer valve must be fitted.
– A water shut off valve with a
3
/
4
inch
male thread must be provided on
site. The valve should be easily
accessible, since the water intake
should be shut off whenever the
dishwasher is not in use.
– The intake hose is an approx. 1.5m
(59") long DN 10 pressure hose with
a
3
/
4
“ female thread. A 1.5m (59”)
flexible metal hose (certified for a
pressure of 14,000kPa / 2030psi) is
available as an extension. Do not
remove the dirt filter and the flow
regulator in the screw connection.
