Miele PG 8591 - Water Connection; Connecting to the Water Supply

Water connection
*INSTALLATION*

Connecting 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 supply must at least meet the standards for drinking
water. If the water supply has a high iron content, there is a danger
of corrosion occurring on stainless steel items being cleaned in the
machine, as well as the machine itself. If the chloride content in the
water exceeds 100 mg/l, the risk of corrosion to stainless steel
items being cleaned is greatly increased.
- In certain regions (e.g. mountain regions) the water composition
may cause precipitates to form, requiring the use of softened water
for the steam condenser.
- The machine is equipped with a safety system for the protection of
drinking water and may be connected to the water supply without a
non-return valve, if national regulations permit.
- The machine is supplied as standard for connection to cold water
(blue coded hose) and optionally to hot water up to max. 65°C (red
coded hose). Connect the inlet hoses to the water shut off valves
for cold and hot water.
- If there is no hot water supply available, the inlet hose coded red
must be connected to the cold water supply or alternatively has to
be deactivated by a Miele Service technician.
- The intake hose without water protection device for the steam
condenser is connected to the cold water tap.
- The minimum flow pressure for the cold water connection is
100kPa pressure, for the hot water connection 40kPa pressure,
and for the DI water connection 30kPa pressure.
- The recommended flow pressure is ≥200kPa for the cold and
hot water connections and ≥200kPa for the DI water connection in
order to avoid excessively long water intake times.
- The maximum permissible static water pressure is 1,000kPa.
- If water pressure is not within the specified range, please contact
Miele Service for advice.
- More information on DI water connection can be found at the end
of this section.
- Faucets with a ¾inch screw thread must be provided on site. The
faucets 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.
