Connection to the water supply
 Water from the wash cabinet must not be consumed.
- The machine 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 machine, as well as the machine itself. If the chloride content of
the water exceeds 100 mg/l the risk of corrosion to items being
cleaned in the machine will be further increased.
- UK, Australia and New Zealand only: To comply with water
regulation requirements, this machine must be connected to the
potable water supply via the the non-return check valve supplied
with the machine.
- This machine is supplied as standard for connection to cold water
(blue coded hose) or hot water up to max. 65°C (UK: max. 60°C)
(red coded hose). Connect the inlet hose to the cold or hot water
stopcock as required.
- The Minimum flow pressure for a cold or hot water connection is
40kPa pressure, and for AD water connection is 30kPa pressure.
- Recommended flow pressure for cold and hot water connections
is ≥200kPa pressure and for AD water connection ≥200kPa
pressure, to avoid excessively long water intake times.
- The maximum permissible static water pressure is 1,000kPa
pressure.
- If the water pressure does not fall into the stated range contact
Miele Service for advice.
- More information on AD water connection can be found at the end
of this section.
- Stopcocks with a ¾inch screw thread must be provided on site for
the connection. The valves must be easily accessible to allow the
water inlet to be turned off when not in use.
- The water inlet hoses are approximately 1.7m long pressure hoses,
DN10, with ¾inch screw thread. The filters in the screw threads
must not be removed.
