XKM RS232
communication
module
The serial interface RS232 can be retrofitted to the washing machine
via an XKMRS232 communication module (optional accessory
available from Miele). This communication module must only be used
with MieleProfessionalmachines that are fitted with an appropriate
slot for the module.
The data interface provided via communication module
XKMRS232 complies with SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) in
accordance with EN60950.
Appliances connected to this interface must also be SELV
compliant.
Communication module XKMRS232 is supplied with a connection
cable and a D-sub-connector.
Plinth
The machine can be installed on a plinth (open or box plinth, available
as an optional Miele accessory).
Elevating the washing machine gives a better ergonomic working
position when loading or unloading. It also simplifies the installation
of a waste water connection.
The washing machine must be secured to the plinth
immediately after installation. The plinth must be secured to the
floor.
There is a risk of the washing machine falling off a raised plinth
during a spin cycle if it is not secured.
Weighing plinth
The washing machine is optionally available with a weighing plinth. In
this version, the actual weight of the laundry load is displayed in
0.2kg increments during loading along with the maximum laundry
load weight for the unit.
Make sure that the washing machine is not in contact with objects
or people located nearby or leaning against it. They could be
weighed as well and falsify the load weight shown in the display.
Vapour and foam
venting kit (BWS)
If excessive suds form, foam may escape from the vapour vent. To
remove the foam, an optional vapour and foam venting kit (BWS) can
be used.
