Connection to water supply
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
standard regulations. In Germany the
washing machine is not required to
have a non-return valve as it has been
designed to comply with the relevant
German DIN standard.
Connection to a household water soft
-
ener is not recommended.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with 3/4’’ thread. The stopcock should
be fitted by a qualified plumber.
The approx. 2.5 m long 3/8" pressure
hose should be connected to the stop-
cock via the 3/4" threaded union.
Please make sure the washer sits cor-
rectly in the union.
A longer hose of 4 metres in length is
available as an optional extra.
This pressure hose is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply. The
connection point is subject to mains
water pressure. Turn on the stopcock
slowly and check for leaks.
If replacing the inlet hose only use a
hose able to withstand pressure of at
least 70 bar. This also applies to all
fixtures and fittings used. Miele origi
-
nal parts are tested to this standard.
The machine is designed to operate
with a water flow pressure of 1 bar mini
-
mum up to 10 bar maximum. The static
water pressure must not exceed 10 bar.
If it is higher than 10 bar it is essential
to fit a reducer valve.
There is a minimum flow pressure of
1 bar pressure if, with the stopcock
opened fully, 5 litres of water flow into a
suitable container in 15 seconds.
The dirt filter in the open end of the inlet
hose must not be removed as it pro
-
tects the water inlet valve.
